Helpful?

I swear (*crosses heart and hopes to die*)I have been keeping track of the community lately but there just isn't much time to post/comment what with being recently employed. Of course, the new(ish) job also impedes my crafting... what with not having as much free time anymore but for some reason I seem to have gotten even more creative and have been having a huge overflow of ideas. I write them out and craft when I have time.

Everyone is making wonderful crafts as always and I am always impressed when I visit the community and read back through the posts. You folks are just super fantastic. :) You're so crafty and creative and fun and supportive of everyone. We have a great group here.

Anywayl,there is a where can I but...? section and a websites: ideas/inspiring section in the memories but I thought perhaps this might be helpful to everyone as well. Since many of us are busy and perhaps not located with in easy reach of quality craft stores, I was wondering if you all would recommend sites online that you have ordered supplies from and that you would recomment to others (and what ones you would recommend we avoid) . I know that, personally, it is easier for me to shop online because of working and such but I never know where I should buy from because I'm never sure what shop sells the best quailty of beads/yarns/wire/clay/paints/fabric for the best price... It would be so much easier if I could reference someone who had used the shop previously and either recommended it or encouraged me to try elsewhere. And I just figure that I am not the only one who could benefit from this. *grin* I just want to thank you all beforehand. Keep up the fabulous crafting!
