I do think it is a shame that the magazines are going this way, but I do believe this is a reflection of the times and instant online communication rather than a reflection of our industry. Artists know of each other via forums, blogs, websites and…

I know Karen, I loved the ME mag. I was really sad an surprised when that one ended. I thought it was pretty popular. I am like you, I don't prefer e-magazines. My husband gave me his Nook when he got a newer one, and I…
Edie Barlishen replied to Wendi's discussion 'Adding Friends'
Talk about a light bulb moment! I always wondered why there was the "add as friend" bit on here and have only added friends if they asked me to - all the time wondering the purpose - as I kind of thought of us as all being…
Edie Barlishen replied to Kelly Dauterman's discussion 'Merging Magazines'
Karen, I made a mistake in the date of the magazine (which I have since corrected in my post) - it was the Dec issue, not the Feb issue. Still not that long ago though so it does seem the merge was fairly sudden!
Karen Alderson replied to Kelly Dauterman's discussion 'Merging Magazines'
Sorry, Edie, I was just going by what was said on teddy talk, as I haven't seen that issue of TBR- sounds like the ones asking on Tddy Talk hadn't either as the deadline was their big question.. Makes you think now this merge wasnt in the…

This morning I received and e-mail from one of the show promotors. You may have gotten it too, it was a mass mailing. They said that we need to support the magazines to keep them going. It offered some good suggestions like giving…

I'll have a stand as well there and I'm looking forward to it, I think it'll be a great international show. The new team was very, very busy by promoting it and they are still doing a great job.
It would be nice to meet you and others…
