AllFreeCrafts:
Free Crafts, Craft Projects and Patterns
to Make Easy Homemade Gifts
I've heard from many readers over the past year, asking me to publish the AllFreeCrafts Newsletter again.
I had thought that our new crafts blog at: http://www.allfreecrafts.com/blog/ would replace the newsletter, but not so. The blog is popular for online viewing (you can subscribe to it as well, by email or RSS feed) -- but, apparently, the newsletter format is still preferred by many of you. So, ta da, here it is!
So many new craft projects and patterns have been added to http://www.allfreecrafts.com, it would be impossible to include them all in one update. So, for this early September newsletter, I'll focus on back-to-school crafts and the coming of fall, as well as some of my own favorite crafts. I hope you enjoy them all!

Free Crafts Ebooks and Recipe Ebooks
Our ebook library continues to grow - see our Ebooks Library to access and download all the free PDF files. Brand new additions include Wedding Favor Ideas and Homemade Air Fresheners.
 You'll also find free ebook downloads for Printable Self-Care Cards for Busy Moms, 64 Bath and Body Recipes, Diabetic Recipes, 65 Amish Recipes and a wonderful collection of Family Casserole recipes.
Please feel free to share these downloads with friends - but please do that only by sharing the link to our Ebooks Library rather than distributing the individual PDF files. That way we can keep the bandwidth usage reasonable and I can continue adding to the library. Thank you!
Earth Friendly Recycling CraftsAny time you reuse something that would otherwise end up in the trash, you are doing Mother Earth (and all of us) a big favor. Here's some new crafts and recycling ideas to reuse many common household items.
