    SITE POLICY JUNE 2009
    New Members must now be approved by admin in order to prevent further spammer problems.
    SITE POLICY February 2009
    In the last week we have had a problem with SPAMMERS signing up as members not filling in their profiles and then writing spam blog posts advertising dubious products which have nothing to do with being creative.
    So our Creative Cafe policy is now to just ban such members as soon as they are spotted without any explanation.

    March 2010 Side Picture: Thanks again to Creative Cafe member Brenda for this wonderful side picture entry Fiery Skies which is so bright and cheerful we must believe Spring is here now! Brenda lives on a Llama ranch in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado and harvests the lovely llama fleeces every Spring. Some fleeces are sold raw and she processes others into rovings, batts or beautiful handspun yarns. You can have a look in the Split Rock Ranch shop and follow Brenda on her Blog.

    Friday Feature: Allyisms!

    This week's feature (now that I'm finally getting back to doing them) is for another friend, Ally of Allyisms.com.



    She bakes wonderful cookies, cakes, pies, sweet breads and even dog biscuits, right in her own kitchen. And what's better than real homemade baked goods? Not that stuff you get at the grocery store, for sure!
