You might be a maker if…

…you’ve ever found yourself more enamored with the shipping packaging than what you actually ordered.

…you have taken apart your child’s toys to check out how the lights were wired.

…you get more excited than a bird with a french fry when you find a refrigerator box.

…you browse hardware stores.

…you linger in the duct tape aisle and love looking for new patterns.

…you’ve passed on buying something because you smugly said, “I could make this myself.”

…you have 346 projects in production, just this moment and by the time you hit publish on this post, it will be 347.

...you’ve ever driven home in an awkward position because of the [insert material here] you found had to be hauled.

…a table full of raw materials makes you feel like a piglet at a veggie buffet.

…you don’t care so much about how things are defined, you just want to create stuff.

…you connect with kids who like to make, on a whole different level and you know how much they need it.

…when you grocery shop, you also buy masking tape,
…when you meet other makers, you feel like a kindred spirit.

…you hoard things most people see as trash.

…this post made you smile, and feel normal… or oddly enough, comfortable that you are not normal.  And that makes you smile, too.
