Second, the Cross-stitch craft-along is still going on!!! We are leaving the CAL threads open until the end of February to give people time to get their cross-stitches done!!! Even if you haven’t had time to start one, finish one, learn one, you should go check out what’s been done so far and cheer everyone on!!!



Third, have you joined MyLeaky yet? Well, what are you waiting for? It just so happens our Head Crafty Witch, Super!Jenn, has been given ability to grant HOUSE POINTS!!! So, what does that mean? It means that if we ask permission to post your tutorial and you grant it, it’s 15 points to your house!!! Further, if you send in a tutorial that we haven’t previously asked permission for, you earn your house 25 points! ALSO, there is a group on MyLeaky for all members who’ve submitted a craft to join called Crafty Contributors. So, see you there, right?
