ANNOUNCEMENT: News from CraftSoft
Teri George
announcements.
First off, we will soon be publishing designs by Pamela Kellogg,
under her "Kitty and Me Country Crafts" name.
Second, we will be publishing some of my own designs under the name
"In the Realm of Dreams".
You can already view several of these designs on our newly updated
website.
Third, we now have a new product available for you -- CraftGrid, a
free, downloadable program so you can print your own graph paper in
whatever size you need. DH wrote it for me and I've found it really
useful for some of my intial sketches when designing so we thought we
would offer it to everyone as a freebie.
And lastly, I'm announcing that my newest free cross-stitch chart,
Lilac Valentine, is now available. You're welcome to visit our new
pages to print it off. The link to my Free Charts can be found on my
"In the Realm of Dreams" page.

LOL! I gave him a really nice kiss, and the compliment. Thanks!
It's a very popular page on our website right now -- lots of good
feedback, with folks saying that it's the best graph program they've
used!

Last night I was helping my daughter do her homework. She is in 6th grade and
dealing with fractions. She has a learning disability in math and sometimes if
I can make pictures of things she can understand it better. Well..I said out
load as I was trying to help her, 'darn, I wish I had some graph paper', and
the the light bulb in my brain went off! I ran over to the computer, went to
the CraftSoft site and downloaded this little program (took seconds). Printed
out some paper and TaDa, was able to make legible pictures to explain
fractions! Thank your DH for me Teri!

LOL! Gladly! And all the best with teaching your daughter fractions!
(Actually, using graph paper sounds like a great way to do it!!)

Glad to hear it, Chris!

What a great idea! I never thought of that and will now be on the
look out for some high quality tracing paper. I've been using it on
sheets of acetate myself, and while acetate is transparent it also
smudges and is very expensive.
>Thanks once again. And give DH *another* kiss - he deserves it <g>.
I will! (; Let me tell you, DH is one happy camper lately, both
because of the kisses and because you folks love the graph program.
LOL!

Hi Jill,
Unfortunately, I don't have access to a Mac or any Mac programming
software. If I did, I would have made a second version since the
program is really very small and simple and would have been quite easy
to port over to the Mac.
Perhaps there is a similar program available for the Mac somewhere
else on the web. I hope you can find something. :-)

I bet this is some of the best payment he's ever received for writing
software. :-)
