Years ago, I used to feature one craft a week from a blogger in an article. Then the internet changed, and short posts like that weren’t so popular anymore. I deleted the posts.
But I recently came across the list and had a good time looking at these internet “vintage” craft posts, and I hope you will too. I’s so fun looking through these projects from when the internet was more of a place for sharing fun new things.
