Happy August! It's hard to believe that summer is nearly over (did I just say that?). In four short weeks, I'll be headed back to the classroom, hoping that this semester, I'll get it right.

In the spirit of the new semester, let me put out a call to all readers to submit ideas for polymer clay projects kids can make to give to their teachers. E-mail me your ideas and we will publish them in the September issue of Polyzine.

I've been on vacation this month and am currently sitting in my mother's living room, typing away as she plays Dr. Mario on her grandson's Nintendo. Ah, the lazy, hazy days of summer.

I am feeling pretty lazy myself, so kick back, grab a cup of coffee, and enjoy this month's issue!
