The October 2011 issue of Crafts 'n things offers an abundance of inspiring techniques to fill your autumn days. In this season of giving thanks, the annual "Crafting for a Cause" section can help you remember to bless others with your creativity. This year, you'll find four worthy causes you can make your own: Charity Wings, Operation Write Home, Breast Cancer Research, and the cause I wrote about on page 95, Journals of Love for Cancer Patients.
When I wrote about this project in Crafts 'n things in October 2010, I was amazed at the interest. The response was overwhelming, and I am grateful for the opportunity to update readers and hopefully encourage others to make this project their own. I hope that you'll pick up the magazine and read the heartwarming stories about the journals and other causes.
Journal Background Paper: Claudine Helmuth Studio Creative Layers Stamps; Claudine Hellmuth Studio Paints; Claudine Hellmuth Studio Gloss Multi Medium; Inkssentials™ White Opaque Pen; Adirondack® Archival Pigment Pens

Journals of Love for Cancer Patients
When Dawn Gehring, Managing Editor of Crafts 'n Things, asked if I knew of a paper crafting project for the "Crafting for a Cause" section in the October 2010 issue, I jumped at the opportunity to write about someone I had "met" in an online art group. Shirley Nagel has a passion, and everyone she comes into contact with soon knows.
Shirley makes journals for distribution to cancer patients. Some may use the journal to organize information, record their thoughts, or even as a sketch pad. What began as a simple gift for a family member has blossomed into a ministry that blesses many.
I hope that you will pick up a copy of this issue and read Shirley's heartwarming story on page 94. If it touches you, let Shirley know.

I made these journals for Shirley to distribute with Adirondack® Pigment Inks and Adirondack® Dye Inks. (Stamps by Hot Off the Press) I hope that they will be a small encouragement in what is a difficult time.
