What an epic year it’s been! Thank you so much for putting this year-in-review together for us @Abbeeroad! You do so much around here to help make this a special place. Please know it’s noticed and appreciated. 50 points to Gryffindor.
A few personal highlights: Met LC/Craftster peeps in person for the first time New crafts: bookbinding (including a full-on junk journal), zines, mini pocket letters, and solar printing Completed the Crafty Chameleon badge
THANK YOU @Abbeeroad for compiling all of this data into a fun post! WOW and WHOA! It’s so fun to see “the numbers” for this place I treasure and visit pretty much every single day. For years, a project doesn’t feel complete to me until I share it with LC (and C-ster, before that).
You all have been such inspirations in so many creative ways and I appreciate you so, so much!
This is incredible! We have such a supportive and amazing group here. I hope you feel better soon @Abbeeroad ! And thank you for all you do to make, and keep, this our happy little corner of the internet!
I am so grateful for LC. You are all my peeps. The people who get each other’s need to craft and share the ups and downs of creativity. The people who can’t help but make stuff…who have WIPs and UFOs and even more projects waiting in the dark reaches of their heads and hearts.
And even more love to you awesome and hardworking admins and moderators. Thank you for building again this community and home for us all.
What a great round up of info. Thanks @Abbeeroad for going above and beyond (again)! Hope you’re well again soon!
And thanks to all of you, who make this the friendliest corner of the internet! I love having a place where nobody has to worry about their personal creeds or beliefs being mocked or slammed, where the things we say to, and about, each other are kind, supportive and uplifting. That light is growing dimmer in the world at large but beams steadily and brightly here!
