All crafters welcome to join, especially those who craft Gourds. If you do not craft Gourds, join anyway, you will soon grow to love Gourds and want to craft Gourds, they are very addicting :) We will have Gourd exchanges, so tell your friends to join too! There are no limitations on what you talk about, so long as you always remember that this is a FAMILY list, children can join too, so PLEASE, no profanity, volgarity, or any type of rude behavoir, they will NOT be tolerated.
If you have an educational craft website, please feel free to share it with the group, unlike these groups that are scared to share websites, we welcome and encourage it. However we do not care for people spamming the list just for the purpose of spamming, especially unrelated products. Those will be terminated, banned, and generally disliked by everyone... so there!
