Crafting comes naturally to Lauren Sadler: she grew up in a crafts-loving home in small-town Ohio "where we had to learn to make our own fun," she recalls. Lauren credits her career as a fashion buyer for giving her the experience to start her own business. Now, with her family pitching in, Lauren creates kits and events that invite others to join the DIY fun. "We truly believe that crafting is not a solo activity," she says, "and that our best work happens when we are creating together."
