Nathan, I don't have a web page or a store...but I sure will help. I will direct all my my crafter friends...and especially those that have their own web sites and stores.... to this posting.

**Nathan** · 08-30-2009, 09:40 AM

Actually, you spreading the word to your friends about the site is even better than a link... thanks!

I don't have a website or store, but I did mention it in the crafting section of another forum I take part in.

**gma2rjc** · 08-30-2009, 02:12 PM

I read the profile of another member of this forum. He/she found out about this forum on Craig's List.

That's a neat idea! I think I'll go on there and post some ads in the 'arts & crafts' area there.

The nice thing about it is that you can post an ad in any city you want. At least I think they allow that.

Actually I posted it on Craigs List Craft Forum this morning. The forum is international!

**gma2rjc** · 08-30-2009, 03:03 PM

Good idea! Is the CL Craft Forum the same as posting an ad in the 'arts & crafts' section for a person's local city?

LOL. It's probably your ad that brought the person here who's profile I was reading.

Mrs J · 08-30-2009, 08:10 PM

Barb, there is an actual craft forum on CL.....but oddly enough I just went to CL to see if there were any comments and my post was no longer there. That is funny because...ican't imagine why it would be deleted.
Very odd!

**gma2rjc** · 08-30-2009, 11:13 PM

Hmm....that is weird.

I'm posting an ad in the arts & crafts listings in some of the larger cities. I'll let you know if they remove mine too.

They really should leave the ads on there. If there was a really nice website I didn't know about, I'd appreciate someone posting an ad about it.

**gma2rjc** · 08-30-2009, 11:47 PM

Oops! I guess I have to change the wording in each ad. Tried posting one in Denver and got a message that I already posted a similar ad.

Oh, well.

We'll see what happens.
