The so call ""BIG"" one in Minot did not have too much, but the smaller one in Mohall (ND) did have bunch of different ones and at a good price. I wish I had a camera, but one thing I picked up is small clear bulbs about 2-3 inches with a round wooden face glued on top, with fabric or clay decorations with a tiny hat. They look like penquins. They were so cute.
Also people back here are quite talented with paper arts.

I've noticed the same thing. I love my magazines and I think this is the first year that I haven't gone wild buying them. I just haven't seen anything that excites me.
Maybe I'm also getting old and tired!!!!!

They didn't even have some of the neat magazines this year. I used to get one every year that was called "Snowmen" and I never saw one this year.

Yup i agree,the magazines aren't there anymore,nor are good crafts.I used to buy country sampler and country market place,and either my taste has changed(not) or they don't make them like they used to.

I did however make a snowman yesterday from 3 terra cotta pots.I've had the book for it forever,but this is the first time i made one.Just have to finish up the minor details.

Hi! I just posted two ideas that might be new - so please take a look at the craft forum. They are both really easy and I haven't seen either at any craft show I have every been to! Hope you enjoy....

I don't need any new ideas, I have enough in my head to last me a lifetime.

It might be fun if this forum did like garden junk does. They have a project of the month (POTM) that goes along with a theme. Everyone creates their own stuff to go along with that theme.
