Happy Birthday Craftzine! plus Enter to Win CRAFT:04 and a CRAFT T-Shirt
Hi Crafters! Today is Craftzine's 1 year birthday! Thanks to all for being such loyal readers and visitors to the site each day. Since last year, we've logged in over 2,000 posts featuring all kinds of craft projects we hope have inspired you to start making things. There have been so many fun events we covered from our own Maker Faire to all the various craft fairs we visited across the country. (Where we all of course spent way too much money on craft goodies!) Pictured above is a montage of events we covered and projects from past issues in the magazine. If you love what you see on Craftzine, subscribe to CRAFT Magazine and get 4 quarterly issues delivered to your door each year! For only $34.95 you'll also get access to our Digital Edition. For more info visit our subscription page. Link.
As a special birthday treat we want to give you a gift! Just leave a comment to this post and you'll be entered into a drawing to win a free CRAFT t-shirt and an issue of CRAFT: 04. All comments need to be in by 8pm (PST) tonight. The winner will be announced tomorrow!
Update 8/16: This drawing is now closed and the winner announced! Thanks everyone!

Craft seems to be one of the few magazines you can get in a digital format which is awesome, especially since I'm in another country where traditional subscriptions are terribly expensive! Happy Birthday Craft, I hope you have many many more =)

I'm driving to Santa Clara right now to relocate my boyfriend from Atlanta. I'm really sad that we'll be 2,000 miles apart, but I'm so happy to know one of us will be near Craft. I can't wait until I move out West in January to be close to the one magazine I hold so near and dear. Happy Birthday and thanks for being around. Hooray!

Happy Birthday, Craft! Each day I look forward to reading the new posts on the blog as it is one of the absolute best sites to find unique creative projects.
I haven't found it easy to track down a store that sells Craft in Australia, so I think I will subscribe! I don't want to miss any more crafty goodness! :)
Posted by: Lysh on August 15, 2007 at 3:51 PM

Up with crafting! :)

Happy birthday Craft! I'm very excited about this new issue I received yesterday. I'm going to buy the supplies needed for the police tape scarf today.
Posted by: carolbrowne on August 16, 2007 at 7:44 AM
sheesh, that was not easy. Comments on most blogs or sites is easy, compared to that process. I was already registered, I subscribe, but had to do it again. Then you get looped all over the place, you get a message to login (even though I was already logged in) and around Robin Hood's barn. I think this is the spot. I love the online craftzine, I enjoy all the articles, though some stuff isn't linked to actual valid pages and sites. oh well. It's the innernets, eh?
