All the MAJOR changes are AWESOME!! Andrew you do so much work for so many, including those of us that don't show up to very often... I think, in my humblest of opinions, that you will do the very best for this site, for all of the artists that (we) support. I have every faith that with your integrations, HandmadeArtists(Forum) will only grow exponentially. You have had my support from the beginning, and I will continue to support all that you do for us. <3 xoxo <3

I have been away from the "teams" for some time, now... but I will not let down HAF... I, like Aimee and many others that have posted, am all for supporting handmade no matter where it finds itself.

I have shops at two different venues, and get team support from one (etsy)... the other (ArtFire) I do not qualify for team support... so the studio just kind of hangs there, generating nothing. I have found, for myself, when I need to bounce a handmade idea somewhere, I come here... to HAF.

My personal plate is too full to volunteer for any leadership positions, so I guess if the "teams" go away, it will be sad; but not unwarranted. And we will continue to have the whole of Handmade Artists Forum to "strut" our stuffs...

Well... I am "new here" ~ as you can see by my not so many posts. I can "be found" as AlsoMrsB, on Art Fire, and Etsy.com

I started making my jewelry as a "hobby" almost two decades ago; before marriage and children, and somehow it got "shelved". Some many months ago, I rediscovered my "bead box", (after I was fired from my day job,) it has since become my peace and solitude. It has also GROWN.

I am "giving a whirl" to be a work-at-home-Mom, so I have my jewelry designs on Both ArtFire.com and Etsy.com. I have also become an incessant Twitter-er.

You can find me; AlsoMrsB. I'm glad to have been invited to be a part of this forum. Thanks for having me!

These are two of my recent pieces... some of my other work can be found at AlsoMrsB.etsy.com and AlsoMrsB.artfire.com
