Crafty Tips Update

I haven’t talked about Crafty Tips in a while and thought it was time to share some of what’s been happening.

I continue to be honored by the numerous talented craftspeople and artisans who ask to be part of my site. We’ve finally broken through the 300 mark for listings and now have 200 categories.

Speaking of categories, be sure to check out our newest category, Computer Art for Crafters. I truly hope that many scrapbookers, decoupagers, card makers and other crafters find the category and the sites is shares useful. I know this is something crafters are often on the hunt for, but I had hesitated adding the category knowing once it is found it will most likely become a target for spammers and folks with general clip art sites. Hope my delete key is up to the task. 😉

One category that isn’t getting the attention it deserves is the Dolls category. There are some amazing Art Doll Makers and doll making tips to repair old dolls and make new ones. Please visit the sites listed there and learn more about these talented folks and the wonderful dolls they make.

There’s still time to find great Christmas craft ideas or find that perfect gift from the many talented artisans showcased on Crafty Tips.

I have expanded our advertising options to include The Crafty Tipster (my latest endeavor) and this site – see the new footer which includes a link to our first advertiser. Pricing has changed and some options have expanded.

Speaking of our first advertiser…Sew Girls is a busy forum packed full of great sewing, dressmaking and quilting information. Be sure to check that out as well.

As Christmas approaches, please take a moment to consider those special people in your life and tell them how much they mean to you – your words can be the greatest Christmas present to those you love – never forget that.

Would love to hear your thoughts and suggestions about Crafty Tips, this site or my new site. And thank you for taking the time to visit with me and my blog – your comments and suggestions are what keeps me in ideas and continues to make blogging fun.
