Sugar 2007
We are actively soliciting
needlecraft projects to be included in our 2007 calendar. Proceeds
from the sale of the calendar will be donated to the
American Diabetes Association.
You don't want to miss this opportunity. We've even extended the
submission deadline, so you still have plenty of time. Diabetes control --
it's in your hands. Find out how you can help
here >>.
It's Christmas in July and August!
Let's create together. We're
kicking off our Home for the Holidays Create-Along. For more
information, visit the
forum.
Note: Special thanks to Donna at
Yarn Tomato for creating these cool buttons.
