| This Week's Crafty Editorial : |
| Hello My Crafty Friends. I know everyone is glad that today marks the end of a long political season. Now it is time to move on get crafting for the holidays! We packed this issue full of holiday crafts and ideas including a flashy turkey Thanksgivings Day card and an article on veggie art showcasing a broccoli Christmas tree. Happy crafting!
| | News About Our Kid Artwork Contest : |
We are pleased to announce that Bo from Chelsea, Oklahoma won the October 2008 edition of our monthly Kid Artwork Contest. Bo won online art fans with her drawing of an adorable white pony. Very cool!
Come out and enter to win in our November 2008 contest. Our top prize is a $15 gift certificate redeemable amazon.com. Entering and voting are always completely free every month. |
| Crafty Research Poll : |
| In October, we learned that 65% of our responders planned to make their own Halloween costume. In November, we are asking our opinion pollsters if they change their Christmas tree theme each year. The Christmas tree is such a focal point to any holiday home decoration project. We suspect that a lot of crafty people spend time redefining a theme for their Christmas tree each year. Visit our homepage and let us know what you think about this issue! |
| What Is In Upcoming Issues : |
| Next month, we plan to give your a holiday theme with Christmas and Hanukah card making ideas as well as a unique Christmas ornament. |

| Veggie Art - Shape and Carve Your Fruits and Vegetables Into Works of Art |
 | |
People of all ages love to play with their food. What about making art with it? We are not talking about just carving pumpkins!
This festive veggie Christmas Tree uses an elongated squash to supply the cone shape of the Christmas tree. With a box of toothpicks, you attach broccoli florets to form the fooliage of the Christmas tree. Using a needle and thread, string up berries and cauliflower for the vegetable garland. As a finishing touch cut star fruit naturally forms the spectacular topper for your broccoli Christmas tree.
