| We all want an easy time of finding Fun and Easy | | | | project featuring heavily on paper and glue - that is |
| Crafts. Sounds like a match made in heaven, right? In | | | | another target group. And, of yes, what about the one |
| my experience though, the two rarely go together in | | | | where they do not give you all the details you would |
| as smooth a fashion as we would like. | | | | like, start without the basics and miss bits out... |
| We know what to do. You put the keywords "fun and | | | | But then, surely, that would not come up in a Fun and |
| easy crafts" into the search engine and hit enter. We | | | | Easy Crafts search page. Or would it? |
| know enough to expect a goodly return for our | | | | Sometimes, even this seemingly precise keyword |
| efforts. But sadly this is where, for my money, the fun | | | | phrase can throw up the odd 'Googly' or two. Google |
| and easy part of the process stops. Unless of course | | | | does not do all the work. It will sort the basics out and |
| you know where to go in the Craft Site maze. | | | | give us what it sees as the best matches for our |
| Because what comes up is a whole heap of sites | | | | search term. But the rest - going through the sites, |
| vying for our attention. We have to find the projects | | | | getting familiar with their layout, style, humour, graphics, |
| first, often buried deep within a site. We check them | | | | and project levels... Well, that is where fun and easy |
| out and find what! That they are either targeted at | | | | can shoot out the window... |
| children or written by someone with a degree in | | | | It can be enough to leave any hardened crafter |
| Vocabulary! | | | | exercising increasing scissor action! It makes me |
| Now I know there are many fine writers out there but | | | | question the quality of such free information and |
| you have to question the quality of many of the 'free' | | | | whether the price you have had to pay for finding, |
| craft project sites as the best place to track down a | | | | reading, pulling apart and rejecting a project has been |
| good source of the prize. | | | | worthy of the Fun and Easy Craft search term. |
| I suppose ultimately it comes down to what we are | | | | The process of finding Fun and Easy crafts is |
| after. If we want Fun and Easy Crafts for ourselves, | | | | definitely not an easy one. But once we have found |
| to stretch us a bit, we are in a particular type of | | | | someone who delivers the same as our Google |
| market. | | | | search term then we know Fun and Easy Crafts is |
| Perhaps we want a simplistic, playgroup type of | | | | just a snip away. |
