The Craft & Hobby Association has declared March as the National Craft Month. They are challenging us crafters and non-crafters to take the Craft Night Pledge of crafting one night a week with your friends and family. By participating in just one craft per week, there are many therapeutic benefits to be gained including reducing stress and promoting self-care through relaxation. The "Craft Night Pledge" is easy, beneficial and affordable:
- Saving Cash: A family of four can save more than $150 a month by having a Craft Night at home instead of going to the movies or out for dinner.
- Interaction with Children: Parents can help their school-going kids keep up with the latest fashions with a DIY craft night at home. Personalizing lunch boxes, t-shirts, jeans, headbands and more.
- Couples Crafting: Spend more time together painting photo boxes, personalizing throw pillows, or making affordable gifts for family and friends.
- Memory and Relaxation: Young professionals can unwind and bond with friends while creating customized jewelry or scrapbooks with pooled materials - saving cash and improving focus and memory.

I don't think a day goes by that I don't craft. If I could give people one thing, it's the joy of craft. I know too many people who are just bored most of the time.
Great blog! Thanks for sharing your information.
that's a great pledge! Thanks for the post!
What a lovely idea! No doubt that crafting can save money and add special personal touches to the home!
