Welcome to Crafters Notes website.  What started out to be a personal crafting journal has been revised as a website for learning craft techniques.  So far the site is broken into two categories, Chocolate and Paper Arts.  Under chocolate will be basic chocolate handling and truffle recipes.  Paper Arts will contain papermaking, background techniques, book binding and other paper arts.  The site is still under construction and will be growing.  

I have also started a yahoo group called SMV-Crafters, dedicated to crafters in the Santa Maria Valley CA area.   We meet locally at Cafe Monet in Santa Maria, CA, every Saturday.  To find out more check out our website www.smv-crafters.com
