The winter chill is upon us (ughhh!). It feels like we just put our snow shovels away and here we are dragging them out again and worse yet, having to use them. Well, to help stave off the winter blues, I've put together some great FREE projects I'm sure you're going to love, and that will surely help kindle your creativity during this frigid season. These designs can be made not only for yourself, but as great little gift give-aways too.

To celebrate 35 years of creativity, we bring you a generous sprinkling of handcrafted cupcakes in our Creative Cupcakes & Deserts section and throughout the issue. I'm certain each of these projects will help brighten your day and help ward off those blues.

Enjoy!
