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)
