I'm not a crafter, just a buyer & collector. I just wanted to respond to Louise's apparent unhappiness with the Craft Mafia's website. What addtional information would you need? Either you want to go solo or you like the idea of being in a group where you can bounce ideas off each other, offer & receive support, share resources, etc. Seems like a simple enough choice to me! And I'm sure if CM's $2 cover doesn't work out they will re-think that. You seem to want to have a negative position but I really don't get your beef.
