we've got a new MySpace and new email address! yay! (our old MySpace profile was being a bit "bitchy")
We're a non-profit, non-denominational, non-exclusive club of crafters and artists who try to meet at least once a month to craft, make, create, converse, encourage, inspire, help, learn, teach, share ideas, and above all, have a little fun while doing all of the above.
We are located in the wonderful little town of Athens, Georgia, USA, and we try to meet on a monthly basis. Our favorite spot to gather is at the X-RAY CAFE, in downtown Athens, on Washington Street, near the world-famous 40 Watt club (261 Washington Street, Athens, Georgia - to be exact)

NEXT GET-TOGETHER: SATURDAY APRIL 14TH, 3PM-6PM, at X-RAY CAFE! please bring a craft project to work on...we're also thinking that it might be nice to bring some snacks (but you don't have to if you don't want to). feel free to come and go as you please or just stop by to say "hi!"
Who I'd like to meet: anyone who enjoys that certain sense of spirituality, contentment, and accomplishment that derives from the simple act of "making something"...
