Photo Gallery Up!

The Photo Gallery is now up for the first Craft This! project. I loved watching the photos come in! You gals are awesome and inspiring. Come check out the amazing creations!!

If your photo is not up, I have not yet received it. I'll post them as soon as I do!

October Project!

The next project will be for the month of October. Lori will be hosting! (Thank you, Lori!!!) If you would like to participate, please email Lori at: lorielin@gmail.com . She would prefer to use Paypal, so please send your payment of $15 directly to her using the same email address. When you send your payment, please remember to include your mailing address and web/blog URL.

The deadline to get your money to Lori is September 15th. You should receive your materials by October 1st. Photos of your finished projects should be emailed to: CraftThis@gmail.com by October 31 to be included in the gallery.

Happy Crafting!

I'm Back!

Okay so I have had no car and no computer for a couple weeks. I'm back online and want to apologize for keeping everyone hanging. It is too late to set up a challenge for September, so I will be passing the torch and letting someone else host the project for October. Details will follow soon.

There's one more week left to get your August project done! Be sure to email me a photo of your finished work so I can add it to the gallery!

And I want to thank everyone who emailed me with kind words during this challenging time for me! Every single thought truly meant a great deal to me, thank you.

Passing The Torch

I want to thank everyone who has contacted me to join the September project. I have been weighing it over in my mind, considering my other responsibilities. I was trying to decide whether I had the time to continue this as a monthly project. Then yesterday the decision was made for me.

I was driving on the freeway with my three children and my hood popped up and crashed into my windshield. There was glass everywhere, including the top of my baby girl's head. Luckily I was able to veer to the right without anyone crashing into me. I could not see a thing in front of me. Thank God none of my children were harmed. We were very lucky. However, now I do not have a car. Being a single mom, this is a pretty huge upset. So since I now have to figure out a way just to get our groceries, I'm afraid I will not be able to go shopping for future Craft This! projects.

If anyone would like to take over, please let me know. I will send you the contact information of those interested in the next project. Perhaps someone who would be willing to take Paypal, to make it easier for those participating? Maybe it can be a rotating thing, someone taking a turn hosting the project each month? I don't know. Let me know what you think.

In any event, thank you for everyone who participated in the first project. I am still looking forward to displaying everyone's finished works at the end of this month!

Materials Sent!

Update: Okay, the materials are in the mail! Whew! I will probably post a photo of the materials, but I want to wait until everyone receives them first, so it can be a surprise. I included some unique fabric, two choices of ribbon, and instead of buttons I chose an accessory that was a little more interesting (and perhaps more of a challenge). I hope everyone has fun with the project!

~~~~~~~~

I just wanted to post a brief update. I've been super busy, but the materials for the August project have been purchased and divided. I just need to get them into envelopes, address them and send them out (hopefully tomorrow!) I'll update here again once they have been mailed out.

On the sidebar, I have posted the list of August participants. Please feel free to take the Craft This! logo (located above the list) for your blog if you'd like to link back here.

August Project Deadline Now Closed

The deadline has now passed to get your money out in the mail for the first project. If your money is still on its way, I will email you when I have received it.

If you missed the deadline, I'm sorry and I hope to see you join us for the next project! (Payments for the September project must be received by August 15.)

Thanks to everyone for their enthusiasm and support on this idea! I'm really excited to get the materials out to you and see everyone's creative masterpieces!!
