Hobbies & Crafts - January 2007

My wife makes greeting cards as a hobby and I have created a website for her to show off her creations. I would also like to add some tutorials on how to make cards, and information about the products and equipment available, techniques and styles, etc.

My wife is too busy making cards to write and I don't know enough about it myself to write anything of merit.

Do you know of any websites, ebooks, etc, with relevant information that I can copy onto my website? Obviously, they would need to be copyright free or public domain. I wouldn't mind spending some money for a good ebook as long as I would have the right to extract information and display it on the site.

If anyone has written anything that I can use, I'd be grateful if you could let me have it.

I need some help with a scrapbooking slogan. Me, my mother, a couple of friends and my 3 aunts all get together about 4 times a year for a scrapbooking weekend, like a retreat. We have one coming up in about 2 weeks and I am making them all craft bags as a gift. Their names are on one side and then I needed a good quote about scrapbooking to put on the other side. So far I have Gone Croppin' and Good to the Last Crop. Any ideas would be appreciated!!

i am not talking about writing out what they dream at night
what i mean is something where they can put all the things they want to buy, what they want to be, the type of house they want etc
i thought it might be a neat idea to see how it cahndes as they grow up
trouble is i am not sure exactly how to go about making them. it has to be simple as my kids are young but i want it to be fun not just drawing pictures also it has to last a long time any ideas?

After all, even with the date worn off, it's a silver quarter. I have a lot of newer silver quarters, 1964, that may not be worth much more than the silver either.

I have a 1973 Lincoln penny but instead of P or D above the year, it has a picture of the state of Alabama and it says AL inside of that. I can't find ANY information anywhere about it. Could this be worth some money?
