Aww... you're welcome! I wouldn't have said such a thing if I didn't believe it. I've watched friends of mine who swore they were never creative learn how to knit, or arrange flowers, or do ceramics, and it's always the coolest thing to me to see people get in touch with their inner artiste. 
Collage art is quite the creative thing! I wasn't sure how in-depth you wanted to try to get with it, but like I mentioned, it's limited only by your imagination - you can make a statement, or make gradeschool art, it's all up to you. For a while, when I felt like my creativity needed a boost, I even journalled as a collage - I had a notebook and a glue stick, and I'd put together one-page collages for how I felt that day. A few words, but mostly pictures. It's a good creative exercise, I think. 
I've always been into art. I think I was born with a pencil in my hand. My mother still has drawings that I did when I was 2 or 3, and they're surprisingly good for my age at the time. Both of my parents are creative - my father was a fine woodworker by trade for 30something years, my mother knits, crochets, sews, does embroidery of all kinds, and does a lot of decorating-type-things. I learned how to do all of that by the time I was 7... well, except the knitting and crochet, which I didn't learn till my 20's.
I will eventually have stuff for sale on the site. Right now I'm kind of focusing on technique and practicing my knitting, so that I can turn out things that are consistently good... I'll definitely have stuff up for sale by spring. If you're seriously interested in a hat/mittens set, email me - the mittens were SO much fun to make, I would definitely make you a pair, and I'll give you a "friend discount".
*big hugs* Love ya too! Have fun creating!!
