Title: Hi All
Post by: Missy L on October 18, 2009, 06:58:09 PM
Hi Everyone.

I am another Newbie! My Name is Missy and to be truthful i'm not really that talented when it comes to making things! I suppose i'm more of a consumer. I love learning how things are made as i feel that it makes it that much sweater when you buy it. I'd much rather buy Necklaces and soaps that have been lovingly made by someone than walk into topshop or L___ where these items are mass produced.

I'm not really sure if i'm allowed (?) to join this forum if i dont actually make that much?   :mwaha:

Kindest wishes
Missy

Of course you are welcome Missy  :)  Hello from me.  It is lovely to hear that you prefer something that is hand crafted with lots of care and love to something mass-produced.  Like EJ, you may be tempted yourself to have a dabble but if not, there's lots of links here that might interest you...
