When I was younger I didn't like the idea of doing a craft or project by carefully following directions. Part of this was a normal kind of youthful impatience. But, there was another aspect. I just couldn't imagine anyone being impressed or blown away by something that "anyone" could do by just following a series of steps.
I was *very* wrong about this. I used to get annoyed "well all you have to do is read the directions and follow them it's not like you need to invent anything"
