Our First Projects of 2013!

My first blog post of the year, and it's about the projects we'll send out this month to subscribers to our Projects of the Month. (Which are still on sale for just $24.95 - a great deal for 12 months worth of projects!)

Rubik's Cube

To get these projects, and three more each month for a year, subscribe to our  Projects of the Month.
