Arts & Crafts From Barbara Crews, your About Arts & Crafts Editor Greetings! One of the best things about writing the Arts and Crafts newsletter is seeing all the new and free projects created by our talented Guides. From complicated projects to 15 minute quickies, there is always been something for everyone from the beginner to the expert crafter and, depending on the craft, I consider myself both of those. After editing about 500 issues of the newsletter, since June 2002, it's time for me to move on and free up some time for my own crafting projects. It's been both educational and fun writing this newsletter over the years and I appreciate all of you for being such loyal readers. I'll still be around, so feel free to stop by and visit me on my About site, Collectibles.About.com. Until next time, Happy Crafting!
