So many crafts this week. I think I will begin by mexploring Eileen's canning jar art because we have dozens of those jars and then work my way down the list:

• The Artful Crafter - Looking for canning jar art ideas and supplies? Let Eileen help you out with resources and tips.

• Stefanie Girard's Sweater Surgery - How to sew a recycled tank and t-shirt dress inspired by one of the projects from the book Twinkle Sews by Wenlan Chia.

• Margot Potter The Impatient Crafter - Had your eyes checked lately? Madge did...and was she surprised to find out she needs glasses!

• Craftside-A behind-the-scenes peek at a crafty world - Craftside has a fun St. Patrick's Day necklace with a tutorial on how to make a flat coil head pin, instructions on how to make an adjustable lace up shirt alteration, a free round topped box template download and some cool Collage Lab stuff.

• Crafty Princess Diaries - Tammy has another book review. This one looks at Pretty Little Presents, a book about stitching up small gift items.

• Farm Girl Roots, City Girl Style - The cardmaking station is pulled together in Linda's sewing and craft room. Now she's looking forward to making some cards!

Check out this post on the Family Crafts Forum made by a visitor named Sharon:

"Does anyone have a use for all those magnetic business cards that are on pizza boxes, phone books, etc? I have been saving them. When you purchase that kind of magnetic material it is fairly expensive. I was trying to figure out a way to remove the print to use them in crafts... I suddenly have tons of ideas but would like to hear if anyone else has done anything with these magnets."

Share your ideas with Sharon. How do you, or would you, recycle business card magnets you get but don't need? Take a moment to read the entire post and read other people's suggestions, and then post a reply if you like.
