MARCH - National Craft Month - 2011

It that time of the year again to get - crafting! Truthfully, any time is crafting time in this house.

Whether you are a crafter or not, this may be a good time to get yourself started.  Take a class to learn something new or teach someone what you enjoy doing.  Visit a craft store, check out some magazines or books, share ideas or search online.  Here are just four sites that you can find ideas:

1. Crafts: transforming traditional crafts
2.  Craft Gossip. Com
3.  Favecrafts
4.  Craftplace.Org

These four are a great starting point for finding ideas and inspiration.  Websites and blogs that feature crafts are numerous. Something is bound to give you the urge to get crafting!

March 3rd is the official starting date of the Designer Craft group blog hop.  On that date, designers will share with you their thoughts of what they saw while attending the Winter CHA Show in Los Angeles.  This is a large trade show for the craft and hobby industry.  The show is where the newest products are on display, plus trends in all the crafting areas.  Since I did not attend this year, I will be interested to read what everyone saw and what their thoughts are.

Come by and hop through the blogs.  It will be worthwhile!  You will have  chance to win a Circut Expression machine.

On March 13th the projects begin ... the first series of designs will feature Wedding ideas.  So any DIY brides out there or someone who knows of one, come by and get some ideas.
