March is National Craft Month

Take advantage of the opportunities that you can find due to March being named National Craft month. During National Craft Month retailers across the country offer product discounts, special classes, demonstrations, as well as tips and projects to help customers discover and try out new crafts.

National Craft Month was started in 1994 as a way to introduce people to the joy of crafting and all its many benefits. It has grown from a handful of retailers and manufacturers into an international celebration with millions of participants finding their creative spirit through crafts. A post on About.com gives lots of ideas and links for you to find your perfect project. Who knows, like many other crafters and artists, you may find a passion for creating that turns into more than a hobby.

The image that accompanies this post shows a small portion of the tools of the trade and supplies that I use to fashion some of my creations.
