Welcome to the Kids Crafts Newsletter. My name is Debbie Kompare and, as the new editor, I would like to invite you to visit the Crafts for Kids site at BellaOnline.com. I am in the process of incorporating some new materials and ideas to the site. Please stop by often and feel free to offer any suggestions you may have. After all, I’d like to make this a site that is useful and fun for you as well as for me.

My goal for The Crafts for Kids site at BellaOnline.com is to be able to make it easier for you to find craft ideas for you and your children to enjoy together. I have changed a few of the subjects that are available and will be adding some new materials to these subjects, as well as possibly changing some of the categories for the subjects. Again, if there is something you are looking for, or would like to see, please feel free to let me know.

It is my intention to send out a newsletter on a weekly basis. I would like to use the newsletter to highlight a new article and, as I become more established, highlight a celebration of the week or a new product or book that is worth looking into. If I receive any questions or suggestions from you, my readers, I will also be certain to mention them there.

There are a few ways you can contact me if you wish. One of the ways is to post your information to the forum. There are a few ways to get to the forum from the Crafts for Kids site. Just click on the Forum Discussions button under Share Ideas, or on the right hand side of the site, there is another link to the Forum. By sharing your ideas or question there, you will not only be able to receive an answer from me, but possibly many other ideas that would be shared from other readers. To contact only me, you could use the link that says “Contact” on the right hand side, or by clicking on my name at the top of the page. By doing this, it takes you to a form to complete and sends it to me. I may need few days to get back to you, but I promise I will answer every email I receive.

In closing, I would like you to know that if you decide to subscribe to the Kids Crafts newsletter, you will receive a test message. This is standard procedure for subscribing to the newsletters available at BellaOnline. Check your spam folder if you do not receive this message shortly after subscribing. Rest assured that Bellaonline.com will not share your email address-it will only be used so you can receive the information from BellaOnline.com that you request.

I hope you have as much fun at the Crafts for Kids site at BellaOnline as I intend to have.

Hoping to hear from you soon,

Debbie
