Our Primitive Times Magazine Forum Has Had A Make-Over!!!

We got an anonymous letter the other day with a strange request. The letter was addressed to "All The Editors At Primitive Times Magazine" and was a request for HELP.

HELP, we thought?

Who needed HELP?

Well, it seems someone felt that our Primitive Times Magazine Forum was in desperate need of HELP. Someone thought it needed a pick-me-up, a fresh-look, a new-dew, new duds, in other words - a make-over.

Well, we all mulled that over and decided that maybe the forum did need a make-over. Maybe it was run down (although we couldn't understand that as the forum is still pretty new), needed some new duds (or in the forum's case - new graphics), and needed a bright, fresh, cheery and inviting appearance.

It also needed someone who would always be in the forums corner. Someone to always look out for the forum. Someone to be the "cheerleader." Someone who was creative, imaginative, and just plain "FUN!" We all thought - who better than Lisa? Lisa should be the cheerleader. RAH-RAH Sis-Cum-BAH! CONGRATS, Lisa.

So, our Primitive Times Magazine Forum has had its' make-over. We've revamped, reshuffled, re-aligned, and re-furbished our Primitive Times Magazine Forum.

It is now jam packed with new sections, new graphics, new colors, new images, and best of all - IT HAS BLINKIES!!!!. There are so many new features and sections to the forum now that it's hard to tell it all in one post. But, we'll try.

I Finished My "Linda's How-Do-I Series? - FREE Helpful Tips For Crafters" YIPPEE!

I thought you all might like to know that I finished my "Linda's How-Do-I Series?" on my "Tips For Crafters On The Web" blog. YIPPEE!!!

Why did I create this series?

Well, I get asked a lot of the time by other crafters with websites or blogs "How do I do this?" or "What's the html code for that?" so I thought it would be better if I just posted the articles on my "Tips For Crafters On The Web" blog then everyone could then see how to do it. Plus, it will save me a lot of time as I can just reference the articles versus re-inventing the wheel and creating separate emails.

So, a little sharing and a little self preservation. And, I thought I'd post the links here so our Primitive Times Magazine blog, Primitive Times E-Zine, and Primitive Times Magazine website readers could have the FREE tips, too.

I think I have everything but the kitchen sink in there! If not, just let me know and tell me what else you think would be helpful.

In any event, I'm done. YIPPEE!!! Here's all 43 of the articles:

Meet Our Newest Editor - Denise Bailey (aka NeeNee) from KKL Primitives

As mentioned in our previous post we have two brand new editors at Primitive Times Magazine - Kassy from Prim Country Market and Denise Bailey from KKL Primitives. Both individuals are very talented and creative business women and we are thrilled to have both of them as contributing editors.

We already told you about Kassy from Prim Country Market. Now we'd like to tell you about Denise Bailey (aka NeeNee) from KKL Primitives.

Denise is affectionately called NeeNee by all her online friends and she has been on a whirlwind of activity during the last year. NeeNee has set-up so many blogs and websites that she's giving both Angie and I a run for our money. Personally, I think she's got her eye on my "The Blogging Queen" crown. But, she'll have to fight Angie for it first. Then again, she may just have to fight me for it. I'm not sure I'm ready to give it up yet. Hmmm.....

Denise has accomplished quite a lot in the past year. Between websites, crafting, blogging, traveling, and her family she's had a lot to do. I'd suggest that she take a break, but I'm afraid Mrs. Hyde will appear.

You see, Mrs. Hyde is NeeNee's alter ego on her "Menopausal Monster" blog and she can be very devious at times. If you are of the "menopausal" age then you definitely want to bookmark NeeNee's "Menopausal Monster" blog. It's hilarious. NeeNee always adds her comic touch to every article and is a very talented and gifted writer.

But, NeeNee has a lot more going on than just her "Menopausal Monster" blog. She has her main website KKLPrimitives which sells primitive & country handcrafted dolls and decor and her eBay website The Krazy Kraft Lady which sells crafts and collectibles.

She also is an accomplished blogger. I already mentioned her "Menopausal Monster" blog above which is "A Day In The Life Of A Menopausal Woman" Well, she has many more than just that. There's her main blog called The Krazy Kraft Lady which has all sorts of posts about NeeNee's various crafting projects and dolls. Did I mention she was a gifted crafter and doll maker?

Then there's her KKL Graphics blog which contains all sorts of wonderful FREE graphics and FREE tutorials. Did I mention NeeNee was a talented graphic artist?

Then there's her KKL Kreations blog which offers "Free & Low Cost Advertising Options." Did I mention that NeeNee has wonderful ideas for helping small business crafters to promote their businesses?

She also has a KKL Kreations2 website that also offers "Free & Low Cost Advertising, free graphics, websets, & more."

And, if all of that isn't enough - she has her Unique Boutique Group which is an MSN group where you can "Create Your Own Graphics", her Tubes4Us Group which has free PSP Tubes, and her Neenee's Tubes- PSP Tube Depot where you can get "Free PSP Tubes created by Neenee." Did I happen to mention that NeeNee is a gifted artist?

I told you that NeeNee was a whirlwind of activity last year - didn't I?

Here's what NeeNee had to say about herself:

I'm a 54 year old wife, mom and gramma from Western Pennsylvania. I've been married to my soul mate for 33 years, we have 3 beautiful grown daughters ages 33, 30 and 25 and 3 gorgeous grandbabies, ages 7 years, 3 years and 2 months.

I've loved to craft ever since I was a child, and as a young mom I would craft things for myself, family and friends. I was bit by the primitive bug two years ago and ventured into selling my crafts at local craft shows. This area however, doesn't seem to appreciate primitive crafts like I do, so I came to the www to see if I could reach a larger audience. I opened my eBay Store, The Krazy Kraft Lady and haven't done too badly, and by accident came across a Prim crafting forum where most everyone had an online store. I wanted one too! I opened my little shoppe, KKL Primitives in April of 2006 and while I have sold a few things, I've not yet hit the big time, lol.

The other editors and I are thrilled to have NeeNee as a new contributing editor. She has a terrific sense of humor which will fit in really, really well with the terrific group of editors we have on Primitive Times Magazine.

Welcome aboard, NeeNee.

Oh, buy the way, if Mrs. Hyde behaves we may let her join, too!

Meet Our Newest Editor - Kassy from Prim Country Market

We are so excited because we have two new editors at Primitive Times Magazine and they are both exceptional. They are both very talented and creative business women and we are thrilled to have both of them as contributing editors.

Our first new editor is Kassy from Prim Country Market. Our second editor is Denise Bailey (aka NeeNee) from KKL Primitives. This post is about Kassy. Our next post will be about NeeNee.

Kassy is the owner of Prim Country Market which sells primitive crafts, candles, handmade soaps and so much more. They also sell Early American Colonial Supplies~Aging & Staining Solution, Prim Fabric and other primitive needfuls.


Kassy is also the owner of Ravassant Boutigue. Ravissant Boutique sells Victorian and Vintage Style Clothing, Unique Jewelry, All Natural Mineral Makeup and Luxury Skin Care.

She is also the leader of a very successful eBay group called "A Primitive Country Gathering" (APCG). APCG is a group of Primitive Crafters, Candle Makers, Doll Makers and Friends on Ebay.

We asked Kassy to tell us a little about her Prim Country Market website and here's what Kassy had to say:

The Prim Country Market was established in 2004. Specializing in Americana Lighting Tapers and Primitive Colonials. Inspired by early Colonial America, we have expanded our product line to include chunky prim fixins, melting tarts, primitive houseware, prim ornies and bowl fillers, graphics and lots more. Our staff is always looking to create something new and exciting.

We love the olde tattered look of aged cloth, the warm patina of antique wood and the simplicity of a pair of old grungy tallow candles. TPCM transports their customers back into the past, where American history first can alive...a time where little children learned their ABC's by stitching them onto a piece of cloth and handmade soap was made over an open fire. A gentle era and simpler time, long gone but never forgotten. Recreated everyday by The Prim Country Market.

Personal Website: primcountrymarket.com
Personal Website: ravissantboutique.com
APCG Website: aprimitivecountrygathering.com

The group~~~

A Primitive Country Gathering...APCG. Proud Leader and member of APCG. I founded this wonderful group for primitive crafters, candlemakers and folk artist. Our group also consist of friends and fellow prim lovers. Even though our group is only 8 months old~we have over 300 members.

Our members are so wonderful! They are not just talented but they are special too. APCG Elite members go the extra mile to always provide the best in customer service and satisfaction. Our group is more then just a group, it is a sisterhood. We share everything....we encourage each other, offer advice, listen to one another and share our knowledge. This is a special place to share, care and make friends.

APCG is a warm and inviting place that you will just fall in love with. If you would like to join, please contact The Prim Country Market for details.

Visit our group website:
APCG Website: aprimitivecountrygathering.com

I just love what Kassy had to say about her "A Primitive Country Gathering" eBay group.

The other editors and I would like to welcome Kassy to our staff of contributing editors and hope that she says the same thing about us as she said about her eBay group, which was:

Our group is more then just a group, it is a sisterhood. We share everything....we encourage each other, offer advice, listen to one another and share our knowledge. This is a special place to share, care and make friends.

Welcome aboard, Kassy.

Emails From Our Readers

We received another wonderful email from a reader and wanted to share it with all of you.

Before I show you her email I just wanted to share with you the quote at the end of her signature. Her quote is: "Friendship isn't about whom you have known the longest; but about who came and never left your side."

It's wonderful to have friends and we at Primitive Times Magazine are delighted that Sherry is our friend.

Here's what Sherrie Nordgren from Symple Tymes wrote:

Meet Our Main Sponsor

I am Proud to announce our NEW Main Sponsor is Talena she is a personal friend of myself for awhile and actually took over Marketplace Square Craft Fair for me! She has soo many sites and blogs I hope you will stop by and visit them all today and help us support our Main Sponsor. Please read more about Talena and her businesses below.

My name is Talena Bacon and I have been crafting for 16 years. I make Primitive/Country Dolls, create a bi-monthly magazine (called Sew Primitive Ezine), run an advertising business and an on-line craft show.

I love to create new items and enjoy helping others. During my years in crafting there was no-one to help me and I feel that everyone needs alittle help along the way when in a crafting business.

So with our Craft Show we give you a place to sell their products without living the comforts of your home.

I know first hand how it feels to pack up your products, load them in the truck and head to a craft show. It can be time consuming and sometimes hectic. Well no more!

You can advertise your products in a booth like setting and enjoy a cup a coffee or tea without walking out the door! Our craft show is highly advertised and I do alot of promoting. My goal is to help you make money and hopefully make things alittle easier on you.

So stay awhile and visit some of our talented vendors and maybe grab a booth before you go. I would love to have you join us!

Hugs & Blessings,

FREE Valentine Crow Poke Pattern from Debbie

NEW Customer Testimonial for Product Review

We received this WONDERFUL email from Eileen at Seneca Pond Crafts after Brenda reviewed one of her BEAUTIFUL Lamps and we just had to share!

Good Morning Angie,
I have read the new issue of Primitive Times, cover to cover, and wow did I ever learn a lot, smile a lot, and write down a lot of great ideas and tips! The magazine is truly awesome!!!!! Then, I saw this e-mail and realized that you were giving my website additional exposure through the contest, and I was really smiling from ear to ear. Wow! Wow! Wow! I have noticed an incredible amount of traffic on my website this weekend, so thank you, thank you, thank you! I would let anyone know that this product review initiative is such a win-win situation for everyone. First, it was easy to accomplish on my part and really helpful to have another pair of eyes evaluate my work with complete candor. I will enjoy reading the feature, even when I'm not the subject of it! LOL! Then, to get all this additional exposure through the magazine and the contest is just icing on the cake. I'm telling everyone I know to take advantage of this opportunity, because I know that I couldn't be more pleased or more thankful that I did. On a personal note, I'd like to thank you for your inspiration as a fellow crafter and business person. I know you must get a thousand e-mails a day and have a million loose threads to keep track of, but you still take the time to answer questions promptly and offer advice so generously. I hope others are also giving you the applause that you really and truly deserve!
Enjoy the rest of your weekend and please do something nice for yourself - you soooooooooo deserve it!
Sparkle & Shine!!!
Eileen
