I confess, I admit it... I'm addicted to crafting! I don't want my "stuff" to look like everyone else's so I make my own. Join the club, and see how easy it is to learn how to make your own crafts and kids projects. You will soon discover just how easy it is to get addicted to crafting!

Welcome, Fellow Crafters!

Group Membership Guidelines

I'm a confessed craft-a-holic, and I love to talk about crafting! They say that birds of a feather flock together; so if you love crafting as much as I do... you're in the right place!

Crafting is a very broad topic, so please allow me to share a few guidelines with you.

Here's What I'm Looking For:
There are a lot of new people joining Squidoo everyday, so I want to provide some insight as to the guidelines for group membership.

* The first thing I look for is a completed bio...complete with a photo or an avatar!

* Next is the content of your lens...I'm looking for lenses about every aspect of crafting, including those who buy and sell crafts.

* Make your lens sparkle with your knowledge about your chosen craft! There's a world of general information available on the web about crafting, so my group here is about fine tuning.

* Show us your expertise, enable your contact feature so we can oooh and ahhh over your "stuff."

If you're new to Squidoo, please visit my Squid Angel and Giant Squid Connie lenses for some help with the why's and how-to's of Squidoo.

Now that we have a roadmap to follow, all that's left is for you to bring me your lenses!

"If You Build It, They Will Come"

In the case of crafty lensmasters, you have been bringing me lenses by the truckload! Thanks to each and every one of you for your interest and participation in our group.

Please be patient as I work my way through the approval process for your lenses; I read each submission throughly, so it takes a little time to for me to get through the list.

I appreciate your interest and participation, and look forward to learning more about your great craft projects.

While you're waiting, please feel free to visit my websites:
Connie's Craft-a-Holics Club
Connie's Crafts 4 Kids

You will receive an email notice when I have approved your lenses. Thanks again for your interest! Now on with the crafting...

The Value of Group Membership

So, what's the benefit of becoming a member of
Connie's Craft-a-Holics Club at Squidoo?

The internet is filled to overflowing with information about anything and everything one can imagine. Sometimes you have to browse through dozens of pages to find what you are searching for.

I want to make it easy for everyone to find your great crafting lenses, so it's my goal to make that happen.

I am constantly defining and refining my groups, lenses and websites so that when someone is looking for crafty resources; they will land right here at our group headquarters...
It's a big job, but we can handle it!

I am in the process of building a member roster that will feature your lenses by category. Just scroll on down to the next module for a sneak preview:

Connie, your lens is really great. I love your links for home-schoolers.
I like your list of Craft suppliers. My list of craft Suppliers is mostly for things to customize your crafts.
Have you heard of the Etch-o-matic? It's great for etching your designs in glass or metal. We used it to make a kitty name tag for our granddaughter's Halloween kitty outfit. =)
