Getting CO+K Busy!

The one thing I've never been good at is promoting Cut Out + Keep, so I was wondering if you guys had any crafty ideas for getting the word out and attracting more crafty people?

Also, for curiosity, how did you guys find CO+K?

Aww, you have crafty friends now Karen Happy None of my real-life friends are that crafty either, apart from Ysolda.

Sorry yes you guys, of course Happy One friend is, but she doesn't like to go online so much.

I am so glad I found this place too, craftster is great and all, but it's so big and not geared so much towards the projects like here, which is what I love

Cat, you found ME on Virb. ;D

I'm sure if you give me time I could come up with a ton of ideas to promote the site. I help my friend Jeff with that stuff all the time.

I found it by googling for cornbread recipes, I just wondered what it was.

my boyfriend says he heard you on Adam and Joe radio a while ago mentioning cut out and keep, and there's been loads of people come over here from craftster recently.

i found it on craftbits ( i think that is the site) and loved it. I have tired getting my best friend into it, because there are something totally her style, but shes to lazy to do crafts. *sighs* and I'm happy i found this site, i love doing crafts but most of the sites i find are old lady crafts, or kiddie crafts (there is only so many crafts that you can do of those that look cool, i am not into finger painting) and those sites aren't very inspirational, though i do enjoy doing ones with steps when my mind is in an uncreative mood i like to make things i know i came up with, or at least changed here and there on the item. And this site had people around my age, which makes me feel better because i feel that im not the only 18 year that does crafts for more than just a few moments when i have nothing better to do.

For years I've been buying Somerset Studio mags for interesting ideas for my crafting. But I noticed more of these mags advertising more craft things to purchase as opposed to found and recycled items you already have to make crafts and it was getting pricey to make anything.

I never got around to searching for a site like this before...but I was influenced to post them here from my daughter.

I think about the handwork crafts my grandmothers and grandfathers made and the answer I find is that they were void in their lifetime of the things we have now that take all our time up. Our life is what we choose to do and not do.

I choose craft and it may sometimes include art but mostly it includes the members/friends here that encourage me to continue to craft because we choose to share, create from all walks of life to make it ourselves.

I have no answers or ideas about advertising but I am grateful for CO+K.

**Hugs all around**

Thank we very much for CO+K...okay, now I need to pick a craft to work on and I have so many to choose from here!!!
