A Few Highlights from Our Next Issue

I’m very proud of our designers and writers; they are definitely an extremely talented group of individuals, and each one of them has their unique style. It’s the totality of their work that has made our humble efforts successful, along with you, our loyal readers, without whom we’d be nothing. Let me here thank each one of you for your patronage; we sincerely appreciate it. Special thanks to Dirk Boelman for really “pushing the envelope” with his Dragon Box; Dirk draws upon a seemingly inexhaustible fountain of creativity, and this project certainly exemplifies this.

Two issues ago, (our April, ‘05 issue), I promised that another Orchid Davis woodburning project would be included in this issue. My apology — we were not able to get that material ready for this edition, but I promise that Orchid’s Red-Tail Hawk will “wow” you in our next one. Orchid got a good response to her first project, and we’re pleased to have her with us.
debbie It’s hard singling out individuals among our team for praise, because everyone is giving one hundred percent and our magazine is succeeding. I would, however, like to thank Debbie McGowan, our Associate Editor, for doing a great job. Debbie started with our March, 2005 issue and has managed to get everything done on time while being an active, involved mom with three young children.
Also, I’ve got to thank Kelly Albertson for his tireless efforts over a ten-year period as this company’s Art Director, during which he’s overseen fifteen different magazines, of which Creative Woodworks & Crafts is only one! Fortunately, Creative Woodworks & Crafts is the one and only magazine that Kelly personally lays out, hands-on, each and every issue, and for that I am grateful. kelly
Check out some of the projects in our next edition, and until then, health and happiness to you all.

Sincerely,
