Hello!

My name is Kirby Jane, I reignited a childhood passion for craft on returning home from hospital after being injured in a road traffic collision.

Craft has been a positive force in my life and helped me raise money and awareness for KPFoundation and London's Air Ambulance.

I've opened an Etsy shop to share my makes with the world. I make rag rugs, rag hearts and rag wreaths and other bits and bobs.

Thank you for inviting me to join the group :)

Hi! My name is April Ann. Arts and Crafts was a big part of my life growing up, and after becoming a mom I started crafting things for my kids. I just recently opened a shop after many of our friends asked to buy some of my creations.
I mostly crochet but I do some painting as well. I find it very relaxing and enjoy developing new patterns.
Everything in my shop has been kid/baby tested and family approved!

Welcome to the both of you! I hope you enjoy the team! =)

Thank you very much for the invitation to join this team, I am honored! :) I know nothing about teams or what they involve, but will try to figure it out!

I have 2 shops, 1 with vintage items, 1 with handmade crochet items. I LOVE making things, I am truly ADDICTED!! I also enjoy seeing all the amazing things that everyone else comes up with. There are so many talented people on this site!! Thanks again!! Sincerely, Melissa

Welcome Melissa!
Teams are basically ways for people with similar interests to group together, chat, show off their items, play games and cooperate in fun sales or activities!
They're pretty awesome! =)

Hello - I'm Cynthia and I enjoy making jewellery. I joined Etsy a while ago but have only just started building up my shop. I am impressed by the professionalism of the site and it is so nice to be invited to join a team - so much friendlier than other sites I've been on. I am looking forward to promoting your items as well as my own.

Very nice to meet you both! =)

Hello all, just joined the group, haven't been very active on the site at all but it's time to change that.
I like to craft with wood, gourds, grapevines, paints, pretty much whatever I can get my hands on.
I'm fairly prolific in my crafting but I can't possibly keep everything I make. It's just a 4 room cottage and 1 room is already full!
Can't wait to talk crafts!

Welcome MrPKitty! I am sure you will fit right in!

Hi! My name is Lauren, I hand make costume jewellery using mainly tiger tail and memory wire. I enjoy learning new techniques and finding original beads and charms. I'm currently working on a custom request - a rosary bracelet with charms meaningful to the recipient, that will be blessed by the Catholic faith and given as a gift. My shop is new to Etsy, I'm looking forward to sharing experiences with fellow crafties!

Hi everyone, I am Carole. My shop is CarolesWeddingWhimsy. It will be three weeks old tomorrow. This is not my first attempt to sell, as I have been selling elsewhere. I had to work up the nerve to sell on Etsy.

I began crafting when I planned my own 2nd wedding in October of 2011. My first attempts were horrid in comparison to what I created for my daughter's wedding in August of 2012.

Each day gets a bit easier. My biggest obstacle is photos. Honestly, I think I have taken them at least a dozen times and they are still not the best they can be.

Happy sales everyone!
