Please Note: This page is not a listing of Crafty Ring members and membership of the ring does not mean you will be automatically added to this page. It is a page of interesting links I have found while surfing the internet. To be added to this page please Email Me and I will consider your site, however, it must contain interesting craft content to be considered (not just links).
I am in the process of adding descriptions to the links listed here. Links added prior to September 2001 may not have descriptions so please bear with me as I update the page.
