Welcome to the Paper Crafts Newsletter at BellaOnline! This is a new position for me, so it may take me a little bit to get the Paper Crafts site the way I want it. There are currently articles on the site from the previous editor, and I will be adding my own articles at least once a week. I plan to post new articles every Thursday, and more often if my schedule allows. I am a freelance designer in the arts and crafts industry, and my schedule varies a lot. I look forward to sharing lots of exciting ideas, projects, books, articles, sites and reviews of product and tools with you – all related to papercrafting!

I am anxious to make this site what you, my readers and friends, want, so please don’t hesitate to let me know what you would like to see covered here. I’ll never sell or give your address to anyone, so rest assured and send me an e-mail! I’d like to know what your favorite paper craft is. Think stamping, cutting, tearing, chalking, embossing, spirelli, pergamano, folding, piercing, quilling, inking, cutting, painting, scrapbooking, cardmaking, origami, spirilli, punching, or digital. Did I miss any? I’m sure! My favorite is the one I’m working on right now! What age group are you in? Do you enjoy crafting alone, or with a group of others, or both? Are you teaching paper crafts to anyone – your kids or grandkids, school or after school groups like scouts, Sunday School etc? Do you like simple projects with readily available materials, or do you love spending hours making heirloom projects that you don’t mind spending some cash on? Do you keep them all, or give many as gifts? Tell me, so I can customize trhis site to be the best paper Crafts site around, that you’ll be anxious to visit regurarly.

I’ll be using the newsletter to let you know when something new has been posted to the Paper Crafts site. I know you are busy – aren’t we all? – so the newsletter itself won’t contain a lot of information. I’ll just be letting you know that it’s time to visit the site again.

If you know of a papercrafting event in your area, please post it in the forum so others can attend. If you've attended such an event in the past, please review it for us. After you attend an event, we'd love to hear your review!
