I dont understand why there have been complaints this this the 3rd year one of us crafters have set up this page and there has not been a problem until now!!

Are we in the wrong area of the forum if so where do we move the thread to so that we can post dates and have a discussion/chat?

I only ask as it seems unfair that certain individualshave to ruin what has been a good thing going on for sooo long and if we are in the wrong area we will gladly move

Arkonite Babe - can I ask who it is that is complaining - is it a new member to the thread? if so, why should we all pay the price of someone who seems determined to cause trouble?

Actually Arkonite Babe, dont worry - having started this thread myself back in 2009, and posted many many date, made many many friends, gained loads of helpful hints and support, I have decided to leave this forum too. Ive tried over the years to keep it positive and have often called for new posters to try to understand the reason it was set up, and that has always worked, but it does now seem as if one poor person has been hell bent on spoiling the thread for those who have used it since it started. Ive therefore decided to leave here for good too and continue with the members only private threads we have set up elsewhere which are open and honest without being abusive, threatening or troublemaking. I trust this message will be left here long enough for my friends to see, and wish the person who seems intent on spoiling it every success in their very "crafty" future. how very sad.

Very, very sad.

Sorry that Arkonite Babe has had all this hassle regarding a long running and successful thread.

Sorry that Supermums brilliant idea has been ruined, and thank her for starting up the thread in the first place, enabling me to make some really good friends.

Hope to see you all at some craft fairs in the future, unfortunately these may be less well attended if less crafters know about them which will result in less money raised for many good causes, and less money made for some crafters.

Thanks again for all the really nice things that were said here xx

I'm saddened that people feel they have no choice but to leave the forum. However, as this thread has had to be referred to abuse, I can't discuss any details.

If anyone needs clarification on anything I've had to do or they disagree with it, please feel free to contact ...

kind regards
