Dear Reader,<\/p>\n

For the first time in the twenty-one years I’ve been publishing Surfnetkids.com, I didn’t send a newsletter for two weeks in a row. Here’s why.<\/p>\n

On February 25, my Mom passed away. She was 87-years old, and had been suffering from dementia for more than nine years. You can read a modified version of the eulogy I read graveside on my BarbaraFeldman.com blog<\/a>, along with a few pictures of her (and her fabulous jewelry!) For a deeper dive into her jewelry box, there’s also My Mother’s Jewelry Box<\/a>.<\/p>\n

To answer the inevitable question about how I am doing. I’m doing fine, but some days are better than others. And today, I am back at my desk.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tSee ya on the Net,
\nBarbara J. Feldman

For a wee bit of green fun in celebration of St. Patrick’s Day, here’s a roundup of creative craft projects. Most are easily made with materials you already have at home or in the classroom, and many are simple enough for the tiniest of leprechauns.<\/p>\n

\nRainbows, shamrocks, and leprechauns, oh my! Each St. Patrick’s Day craft page from Activity Village includes a photo, materials list, and directions.

Disney Family: St. Patrick's Day
\n
\n“On March 17th, the luck of the Irish is yours with these leprechaun-approved St. Patrick’s Day crafts, desserts, printables and games.” The photos here are gorgeous, and every craft and cupcake simply jumps off the screen. These are not categorized, so you’ll need to scroll through all the pages if you are looking for something specific.<\/p>\n

DLTK: St. Patrick's Day Crafts for Kids
\n
\nThese fun and easy St. Patrick’s Day crafts are listed by subject, including leprechauns, pots of gold, shamrocks, and rainbows.
