I read everything that comes in, and I answer it myself. There’s no team here and no support desk, so replies usually take two or three business days, occasionally longer around the holidays when the craft table is busiest.
The quickest way to reach me is the form below. If you’d rather email directly, admin@craftandsteward.com reaches the same inbox.
Before You Write: The Three Questions I Get Most
These come up constantly, so the answers are here rather than in your inbox two days from now.
Can I use your printables in my classroom?
Yes, and you don’t need to ask. Print as many copies as your class, library group, daycare, scout troop, or Sunday school needs. Send them home in book bags. The only thing you can’t do is sell them or upload the files somewhere else. Full detail is in the Terms and Conditions.
My coloring page printed tiny, or cut off at the edges.
Almost always the print dialog rather than the file. In your browser’s print settings, look for Scale and set it to “Fit to page” or 100%, and check that the paper size matches what’s actually in your printer. If the page is still cropped, try printing from the downloaded PDF instead of directly from the browser tab. If none of that works, send me the page URL and what happened and I’ll look at the file itself.
Can I share one of your projects on my blog or in a newsletter?
Yes, with one photo, a description in your own words, and a link back to the original post. That’s always allowed and needs no permission. What isn’t allowed is copying the full instructions across, because then there’s no reason for anyone to visit the original. Pinning to Pinterest is welcome any time, as long as the pin links back.
What To Get In Touch About
A project question. Something didn’t work, a step doesn’t make sense, or you’re adapting a craft for a different age and want a second opinion. Tell me which post and what happened, and I’ll usually know where it went wrong.
A correction. If something on the site is wrong, out of date, or unclear, I want to know. Reader corrections have improved more posts here than my own proofreading has, and I’ll credit you if you’d like me to.
A request. If there’s a season, an age group, a theme, or a material you’d like covered, send it over. It helps to know the age range, whether you want indoor or outdoor, and anything you’d rather avoid, whether that’s glitter, food, or anything that needs a hot glue gun. Requests genuinely do turn into posts.
A photo of what you made. These are the best emails I get. If your version came out better than mine, I’d like to see it, and with your permission I’ll sometimes feature reader makes in a post.
Copyright. If you believe something here infringes your copyright, the DMCA page sets out the process, but a plain email works too. Include the page URL and a link to your original, and material that turns out to be yours comes down, usually the same day.
Working Together
I’m open to brand partnerships where the product actually belongs on a craft table. Craft supplies, art materials, storage, printers and paper, kids’ scissors, educational toys, and similar.
Email with “Partnership” in the subject line and tell me what the product is, what you have in mind, and your timeline. Please note two things up front. Everything sponsored is labeled as sponsored, on the post and in the disclosure, without exception. And I only recommend things I’ve actually used, which means I’ll want to try the product before writing about it. If either of those is a problem, we’re not a fit and it’s better to know early.
What I Don’t Reply To
Nothing personal, but so nobody wastes their time:
- Guest post pitches. The site doesn’t accept them.
- Requests to insert a link into an existing post, paid or otherwise. Selling links breaches Google’s spam policies and I’m not risking the site for it.
- Link exchange offers.
- Offers to write, rewrite, or generate content for the site.
- SEO audits I didn’t ask for.
Those go in the trash unread, so please don’t follow up on them.
Anything You Send Through The Form
The contact form collects your name, email address, and your message, and they’re used to reply to you and nothing else. Your address doesn’t go on a mailing list and it doesn’t get shared. The Privacy Policy has the detail.
Please don’t include children’s names, photographs, or any other identifying information about a child in a message. If you’re sending a photo of a finished project, a picture of the craft on its own is perfect.
