I just remembered I had these in my Photobucket account! This was Boston 2008. We had a Chicago and Indy meetup, too. Maybe a second Boston one or I just flew there real quick for the opening of Magpie, I can’t recall now. 
Wild I was pregnant with now 17-year old baby.sweets4ever. He was driving me around yesterday. 
Yes…you were! Aww…teapotdonkey, leah, emily, mark, pam, casey, lori, racky…it was so much fun! Sonjaboo joined us on our shopping trip as well…I remember it like it was yesterday . Amydame couldn’t be there but she sent her doll…ha ha and boy, there were some good karayoke singers in that group!
Such a fun trip!! 
Thank you to everyone who contributes to making this the best corner of the Internet
Thank you for the amazing roundup @Abbeeroad! I’m always looking forward to it.
@Cindy 2025 was my 20th year, too. I joint the old site sometime mid 2005. My username back then was silk81.
@sweets4ever, @AIMR I love that all of you guys met IRL and created amazing memories. When I spent some time in the US I joined the South Bay craft group that was initiated by stopmoshun on C….ster. It was really fun and my only constant activity outside of university. I have a decoupaged box that I made there and still use for craft supplies.
Wow, I remember your old username! Thank you for sharing that memory. I have so many fond experiences from those years. I love hearing those from others as well.
Coming back to this crew, and being more involved than I had been on the old site, has made a very difficult year a lot easier to deal with. When 2025 began I had COVID and all I could do was read threads while bundled up in blankets in my school bus hacking my eyballs out. Thankfully 2026 is starting out with a lot less coughing and ick, just this ridiculous sprained wrist issue… I’ve really loved getting to know all of you (some for the first time, some again), and swapping with you all. I appreciate you all so much.
Another brilliant year in the nicest place on the internet!!
Great recap of 2025! I can’t remember exactly when I stumbled upon craftster.org, but it’s been a blast to be part of this community. I look forward to what the next year will bring for us! Thank you for a great year!
@Abbeeroad you’re the best. This is an awesome roundup
Thanks for the Roundup, @Abbeeroad! Another wonderful, if bittersweet, year with all you lovely people. You’re one of my favorite corners of the world.
Thank you for putting together this Roundup. It has lovely moments as well as sad since I did not know about bluebird or Camelama.
Just featured this on our Facebook page. Thank you, once again, Abbie. It’s such a beautiful collection and view back on our crafty year here. 
Appreciate you!
It is 1000% my pleasure. 
Beautiful and touching roundup. Condolences and hugs to the family and loved ones of bluebird and Camelama.
My user name on the old site was Homerof2, I often regret changing it.
I definitely remember that user name!
I think it’s ok changing it the site changed its name, too.
lol I am glad you changed it! I often thought of Homer Simpson when I saw your user name. Your current name and avatar match you better in my mind! A quirky bit of sunshine on the site!
