i think thats fair enough.  the point of this group is to support one another, we cant do that if no one is participating!!!

I was thinking or perhaps having a theme each month, and we each create soemthing with that theme to add to our shop??  and perhaps to add to each of our blogs and a treasury if possible.  for instance, 'fairytale items', or 'winter wonderland', 'romance' etc...and see what we come up with!  just a thought!

I agree that the theme idea would be fun.

Not put off. Makes sense to me!

Themes!  Yes, excellent idea.  I love motivation.  And as far as the board participation being a regular thing, I do agree. Communication, and the sharing of ideas is what keeps us going.  If you will be unable to for some reason, such as a trip or family illness, or something... maybe just contact HippieChick to let her know.

Ok thanks guys now I don't feel out of line LOL All i'm asking is maybe a couple of posts a week, if I see in-activity I will remove that account. I just feel that if you share, then you should be able to take advantage of the information that other people share. If you don't share, how is it fair to those of us that do that people are just coming in and taking info and not interacting. Does that make sense? LOL Don't mind me i'm a little tired, i've been staying up til like 3am the last 3 nights diligently working on finding new ideas and resources, not to mention working on my orders and trying to stock the shop.

carasan- I don't need everyone to be here every day....just when you have time and can make the 5 posts a month. That's why I made it so low I know everyone has lives and can't always be on here

I do think there should be required participation. Unfortunately I frequently can't get to this site as I am behind firewalls. I can get onto our thread on etsy so I hope you will let that count.

Amzjewellerydesigns had a great idea! 
So what kind of theme is everyone interested in working on this month? Are we going to focus on a certain color, idea, or what....  I think that it could be fun to have everyone work on a themed item and then post for all to see and hopefully make wonderful treasuries!

2Virgos- Don't worry about it, I want you to feel better instead of worrying about posting on the board

I made my posting quota this month! LOL I've been busy sewing for a home party and finally took a break today to check in on the D list forum. I think money is tight for a lot of people these days and not a lot of people are interested in buying. I went to a local craft fair and there was a lot of looking but not much buying.
