Hi I have written on my blog today how the mini potters made the craft butterfly to take home. you can find it on http://www.fired4u.co.uk/page30.htm it was fun for the little ones and easy to do. They all went home flying their butterflies. If you wish to add it to your creative posts please do . Thanks Jane

I just did a Father’s Day Keychain Kid’s Project….but now I can’t find your All things Man Made post
So here’s a link if you like
http://girlinair.blogspot.com/2010/06/fathers-day-keychain-kids-project.html
Wow! These look great. How lovely…
Would love to include them in “manmade”… just one “but” – for future submissions (as I would love for you to come back for more Get Craftys), I like to feature crafts that people can copy relatively easily – i.e. not sure how many people would be able to go and buy a stamping set!
Please do grab a button (code is on bottom of page http://redtedart.wordpress.com/get-crafty/)
And do spread the word!!!
Have a lovely weekend!

Hi Caz,
Thanks for thinking of Get Crafty! The Themed featured is now “closed” (and too full!) but there is always the “free for all” linky party which is up every Wednesday, current one is http://www.redtedart.com/2011/01/26/kids-get-crafty-winter-scene-for-calendar-january/
Next themed Get Crafty, will be “Spring”, submissions by 25th Feb… but early submissions good, in case it gets full again (I usually do 25-30 crafts)…

Hi Maggy,
Anyway, I don’t have anything to link up for this Friday, but I definetely will for the Easter link party. Thanks for your comments about the Valentine’s btw.
I just read your comment from last week. I am new to blogging and I can’t figure out how to get a comment without scrolling down my past posts and noticing if the number next to a comment has changed, if that makes sense

I am from Zodiak Kids and we produce and own the rights to some very popular children’s television programmes including Mister Maker, Waybuloo and Little Princess.
We were wondering whether it would be possible to post on your website when these shows are doing consumer events, for example Waybuloo took part in a huge National trust tour this year and Mister Maker appeared in many different stores including Hobbycraft, John Lewis and the Early learning centre across the country.
Please let me know if this will be possible.
Many thanks,
Kerry Kemp
