Hello! I'm off to a reflexology and massage appt. Drool...

[Former_Member]

Yea for treasury listings! I will also share something fun. I just got done with a little photo shoot and interview with the Kingston Leader newspaper. I don't know when it will be out, but it is the article on the "Art Blitz" at the Kingston Art Gallery. Great start to the new year!

[Former_Member]

Lucky you Liz! How luxurious...

Congrats on your interview 4ewe! That will be great promotion for you. :)

4ewe and whiterabbit... what are your names? :)

I'm Andria and hundreds of buttons is Liz.

[Former_Member]

I have to start remembering everyone's proper names. Feels a bit strange calling them by their shop names! I'm Cassie or Cass btw :)

[hundredsofbuttons]

I'm feeling all squashy after my treatments.

[Former_Member]

Happy New Year all! Yay to a new year full of 'crafty goodness'.

Hi MESTers! (Amaria here for those who don't know me or have forgotten me! It seems ages ago since I was here!)
I'm doing my best to type on my phone while on the road to Sydney. (Hubbu's at the wheel!) We're at Tarcutta, so about half way there.

[hundredsofbuttons]

Yes, Amaria, it's fun chatting on the iphone while travelling. Isn't it great having the internet in your pocket!

[Former_Member]

Hi girls, I'm back home. Thank you for your birthday wishes!

Hi Deb and Amaria! :)

[Former_Member]

Hi everyone,
Here's a treasury created by me and includes some of our very creative team members.

Cassie, this looks great! http://www.etsy.com/listing/65060582/marbled-effect-colourful-button-pendant

Andria, yesterday's market was not successful for smock sales at all, but I made enough sales to cover stall cost and then some. It was incredibly hot, and patrons just weren't buying. Jan was disappointed, but some networking was done, so I think smock sales will result.
Her smocks are looking great and she's selling heaps at the moment all over the place as well as online. Just not yesterday.
