Craftmates Issue Four – “Changes”

Ch-ch-ch-ch-CHANGES! It's the one constant in life – things will change. Or it's that those certain types of people will never change. This issue we are all about change – the good, the bad, and the just plain different.

In The Scoop you can see the many transformations of Lesley's head (and learn why change is good), and enjoy Karin's insights into the age of change. The Guru dishes out some ways to cope with changes and look good while doing it. In Go-Go Giftie we recycle some trash into trendy housewares that are sure to delight your loved ones. You'll note a change with our Eats and Drinks section – we have a RECIPE CONTEST. Enter a classic recipe that you've changed for the better and you could win a fabulous prize from the Craftmates Store. Of course, nothing's changed in our Household Items – there you'll find more good advice from Mom, a basement that's gone wild, and some groovy things to check out.

Speaking of a check out – don't forget to visit our shopping page, where you can order your very own Like Me! Doll for yourself or for a friend.
