Dear Katelyn:

Welcome to crafthaus, the network for artists, craftsmen/women ! I am very glad you joined us !

Please add thoughts to the blogs and discussion forums that are already posted. Of course, if there is something else you'd much rather talk about, please add that to the site so that the rest of us can chime in.

I really hope you will enjoy being with this network and find the exchanges interesting and fun. The more you put into it, the more you will get out of it, for sure.

Please note that crafthaus is a fully member-financed website, meaning that a small annual fee is involved in being a member . You will find all the necessary information on how to go about this in the FAQs section of the site. Your membership fee ($20 for a year or $35 for 2 yrs) is due June 15 and is payable through paypal (preferred, a direct link is provided on crafthaus) check or credit card (email me -crafthauseditor@live.com-for details.)

Finally, if there are ever any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to email me anytime. I will do my best to be of help.

Again: Welcome and enjoy !

Thank you very much for your membership payment and support of crafthaus. Your membership is valid through Oct 15, 2011.

Enjoy crafthaus, participate often :-)

Thank you very much! I''ve just had a look at your work and I love it! American makers are truly under-rated in this country, there really is some amazing work going on out there!

I came over last year to SF to meet with the members of Critique collective and was astounded by the creativity and passion they have towards their work. Something to aspire to!
