Similarities in Speech Crafting and Paper Crafting - Really?

  


  My avocation is not only in the field of card-making, but also in speech crafting.  I attend a Toastmaster meeting every Thursday and I ENJOY IT, almost as much as paper crafting.

Communication and creating are both integral in the crafting of a paper project or a speech.  You wouldn't think there would be so many similarities in both hobbies.

I love both hobbies and my Toastmaster group.  There's nothing like having fun in whatever you do.
