just curious. it seems like we have some ladies from way back when glitter was here, and we have some newbies, who have come from some of the pr around the get crafty book. how did you come over here?

I found it through old glitter. I have to say I love this board. All the cool chicas, and none of the trollish snark.

I used to lurk on glitter occassionally, and found this right when it started. So many neat ladies and ideas!

one of my friends told me the new getcrafty was up and running, so i hauled ass over here. i met so many great people because of the old-skool getcrafty, so i figured it would be nice to come back.

I was just searching the internet. Web posting is brand spanking new to me. I didn't hear about the book until I started posting here and it took me a while to figure out what everyone meant by "glitter". I just serendipitously wandered in I guess.

I was on Old Glitter for a long time, then ended up only at New Glitter after the switch. I finally made my way over here the other day, even though I knew about it for awhile.

Another one from the old Glitter, with a new username. I just kept checking in (there were threads about this on Supernaturale and Craftster, I believe) until getcrafty was reborn.

I was on old Glitter too but I had dropped off in the last year or so before the change. Then I got the email about the change and went to check out Supernaturale and saw all the chatter about the split. Drama always equals curiosity for me. So I came back to getcrafty to see what was going on. With getcrafty's rebirth, I have felt good about posting again in this little piece of web space. :P

Me too, and I agree.

I found the old Get Crafty site a few days before it closed, then became Supernaturale. Supernaturale didn't / doesn't really appeal to me, for a number of reasons, and I was v. excited when the new Get Crafty was launched.

I bought Get Crafty the book because I love the website so much (and it didn't disappoint).

As an aside, I like the "craft your life" philosophy of Get Crafty and the political atmosphere (feminism, the environment, new domesticity, all that stuff) that can be found here.

i was a member of the old glitter, but didn't really check in that often. i mostly became a member to receive newsletters and the like, i didn't read the boards much. i heard about the split via e-mail but since i wasn't a very active member, i didn't really know what it meant and didn't bother signing up for the forums or newsletter again... until i came back to "getcrafty.com" to find directions on how to make bowls/flower pots out of records... and saw that everything changed! and i was in a position of having more time to participate in or read forum discussions. so here i am and i really like it.

A friend that I sometimes get together to knit with often sends me links to crafty-related sites. This was one of em!

I found out through another website - perhaps supernaturale, or craftster? Or maybe through a blog of someone from the old getcrafty - I used to post there, and picked up a lot of web and blog links I still use from there.
