Every summer I dream of taking a vacation and while this hasn’t quite yet come true, it will soon! I’m going on vacation this summer! This issue has some of my favorite travel memories and some new ones I hope to make. I have three great contributors this month: Fanie Gregorie, Su Mwamba, and Beth Weninger! Each one sharing their own favorite travel projects and stories. Fanie has a great crafty guide to Montreal. Su has provided a great article on making your own postcards and everything you need while you are on the road. Beth has shared a great project for kiddos on the road using things that are on hand or at home for a fun summer day.

Me? Well I contributed, my favorite traveling snack, a clutch to hold Su’s great postal kit, and a few other fun things that will delight your crafty senses.

I write, design, print, cut, staple and fold every single issue. I support other indie crafters by comissioning 2-3 guest articles each month. The Crafty Life Comic by Fanie Gregorie is regularly featured each month. Its delightful humor and wonderful illustrations always bring a smile to my face.

Craft Leftovers Monthly is superb handmade craft zine filled with projects, recipes, tips, stories, puzzles, and original ideas. It is 36 pages of crafty goodness printed on recycled paper.
