prompt;"Mom wheres my glue gun?"A shout could be heard from the other room followed by shuffling of some sorts.
A frustrated groan followed and a messy Carlie left her craft room, covered in glitter and bits of paint.
"It must be around here somewhere.."Moving bits of old newspaper around on the dining room table she desperately looked for the darned thing.
"Think think think..."
Her mom peeked out from behind a door-frame, waving the glue gun out for her to grab.
"Oh ! you're a lifesaver !" she quickly snatched the object and went back to her messy craft area, her mother smiling and rolling her eyes.
Carlie's craft room was a sight to be seen. Just about every single art supply known to man was thrown about somewhere in the room.
Her desk space was covered in bits of tightly rolled up newspapers and paints, along with some small easter inspired knick knacks.

During the springtime Carlie and her mom would go hit up every sale at their local craft stores and stock up on things to start making their own homemade Easter baskets.
Carlie had watched guides when she was younger on how to weave her own baskets when she had a friend who's parents couldn't afford to buy her one.
Her first attempt was very sloppy with bits of glue dripping from the ends of the weaved newspaper and a messy paint job.
However she had only improved her skill, as it became some sort of a tradition to do this every year.
She gave most of them away for free to the kids in her neighborhood, and donated atleast 2 dozen to local shelters and orphanages in the area.
She always made sure to keep one for herself, keeping track of how she had improved her weaving skills the following year.
Despite how messy and frantic she gets around this time of the year she looks forward to it every single time. Nothing will ever beat the look on a kids face when she gives them one of her special baskets. It's something she finds the most joy in during Spring ♥
