Homecoming Mum Season Alert

If you live in Texas, Oklahoma and other parts of the South and are in junior high or high school (or know anyone who is ;-), it's time to get started on your homecoming mums. Go team!

The Artful Crafter doesn't sell the mums or supplies to make homecoming mums, but we tell you how to make them and where to find everything you need. We even have several illustrated how-to articles on some of the most popular love chain weaves.

Visit our award-winning homecoming mum section or see our comprehensive article published on Google's brand new encyclopedic website, Knol ™.

[If you haven’t heard of Knol™ yet, that's because it just launched in July. Some view it as direct competition to Wikipedia. Others believe it will prove to be complementary. There are differences in format, but to me the main advantage to information on Knol™ is that authors cannot be anonymous.

Google believes "that knowing who wrote what will significantly help users make better use of web content", and it hopes that "knols will include the opinions and points of view of the authors who will put their reputation on the line".]

I'm happy to put my rep on the line.
