Hello everyone! It's *monsterkookies here, and I hope that you guys will welcome me as the newest member to the Artisan Crafts Club team! I am going to be bringing you the news from now on - that is, if I don't get fired. *crosses fingers* I hear =MyntKat runs a really tight ship here, so I'll try not to get in her way. Hehe.

Poor little =MyntKat has been at this club on her own for a little while, and I think she has done an excellent job organizing and keeping it afloat while others have been to busy to get around to it. So I think she deserves some LOVE! ♥

For those of you who don't know me, I can't very well let you go without introducing myself! My name is Kimberly, but everyone calls me Kookie - but you can call me whatever you like. Just be nice! I am the creator of Monster Kookies - an online shop that creates and sells handmade jewellery made from polymer clay. Give me any traditional medium, be it a pencil, paint, pastels, clay, etc - and I might be able to make you something. I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed when it comes to digital drawing or painting, so I guess it's a good thing that I am part of the Artisan Crafts Club!

If you have anything you would like me to include in these journals, let me know by sending the Artisan Crafts club a note with the word "NEWS" in the subject heading.




At the moment, there are two noted contests in the Artisian Craft category:

*Celtic-Dreaming is having a The Ogham contest. Deadline is August 11th.

The =SkyAndNatureClub is having a Colored Clouds Contest. The Deadline is June 20th.

Results for the Dreams Contest have also been posted in our CONTESTS journal.

If you are holding a contest, and would like me to mention it in my journal, please just send us a note with "CONTEST" in the subject heading, and I will announce it here!




^Kitten-of-Woe has made a rather exciting announcement that will interest all of us in the Artisan Craft community. She has announced that every middle of the month that she will choose one person from the Artisan Craft gallery will receive a one year subscription. Hoorah! Of course, if you would like to see more details, visit her latest journal entry.



I believe that is all for now, kittens. Of course I will have more news for you in the future - I was just using this time to get acquainted with you all. Have a great night and day wherever you happen to be!

=MyntKat here with a few additions! *monsterkookies sure was fast posting the news Keep it going girl!

After calling out for help for the club I got many offers through comments and notes! Thank you to everyone who offered to help! With so many great offers it took me a while to make a decision. Let me introduce the new team members to you:

Sunday Features will now be handled by the great *KaciHPfanatic

News and updates will be posted by the lovely *monsterkookies (who already introduced herself to you)

I hope we can keep this club exciting and fun for all of you!

And as always, if you have any comments, questions or suggestions, just send us a note!
