    Yes, it is. In the Etsy convo, I sent you a link to our Etsy Team page. I look forward to meeting you. I truly believe everything happens for a reason SO I hope this is the beginning of a new friendship! I can never have enough friends.

    I'm on my way to Tempe. My daughter still does cheerleading at Arizona MYTHS in Tempe and they are having an open house today. I will talk with you soon.

    Your Esty items are great. My store is aimzblingz.etsy.com I don't have much in there right now.

    I use to live in Ahwatukee, but I'm now in North Phoenix. I hope to move back to Chandler in early June once my daughter is out of school.

    Etsy has Teams or Groups that allow artist to network. Our team has a monthly meeting and a Google group. The Google Group is how we communicate with each other about shows and opportunities to learn new skills, as well as, just general life and art/craft stuff. Our next meeting is April 10 at 7pm. You are more than welcome to join us. I sent you an Etsy convo. I can definitely get you the information if you are interested.

    Hi Gail,

    I just signed up too. When I saw you were in Tempe, I thought you would be a great "first friend".

    I mostly do custom embellishments with Swarovski crystals flip flops, t-shirts, lighters, whatever I can think of. That's why my favorite quote is my own "if you can bring it, I can bling it". I, also, make jewelry, knit, cross stitch. I really want to learn to sew and crochet. I have a sewing machine, but really have no clue how to use it.

    I have a shop on Etsy and I am a member of the Arizona Crafty Burrito Collective Etsy team.
