Dear Reader,
I don’t have words to adequately express my horror over the Newtown murders. But in my role as an online curator, I did want to share this page from Snopes that tries to determine which online rumors are true (Kaitlin Roig is a teacher who saved many children) and which are false (Morgan Freeman did not write the widely-distributed quote about mental health care.)
See ya on the Net,
Barbara J. Feldman

All Free Crafts: Christmas
With more than 150 original Christmas crafts, All Free Crafts is quite a find.
