Newbie Here
What do all of you craft? I do anything with a hotglue gun, wreaths, florals, gift baskets, etc. Sometimes I sell at church/craft bazaars and sometimes on E-Bay. I love handmade candles and toiletries if any of you make those. I'd like to learn scrapbooking/cardmaking. I also do some embroidery, crewel and plastic canvas.

hm.. if its crafty I am all over it. lol. I mostly loom knit, and general craft (yarn frogs, foamies, kid stuff). However, I can and do here and there: carve funkins, sketch, paint, latch hook, scrapbook, and use the knitting machine. I can also crochet, embroderie, cross-stitch, tole paint, and sew. However, I don't do those often.

Sometimes I get ideas off of the web (like Michaels or Hobby Lobby or just surfing) or by glancing through magazines. Mostly I use the talent God gave me! I think I'd like making jewelry, cards and stained glass if I had the money to put into them. I also love to embellish clothes.

is the site free? Do you have private message on here? That way I won't get unwanted email.

I signed up for etsy before, didn't buy anything yet, so shoot, the referral won't count for you.
