“I just looked at the pattern of my life, decided I didn’t like it, and changed.” — David Sedaris It’s not that simple for everyone. But it could be. You may have a job you love. A family you wouldn’t trade for the world. A killer wardrobe, flat stomach, car with seat-warmers and a Bose sound system, plans every night of the week, a ring, a mortgage, and a passport filled with stamps. You may have some of that. Or you may have none of that. What you do have is a desire for something more. For a …

Let's get together to create, learn &/or teach each other how to make jewelry (put together great design from store bought beads or create your own clay beads), cards (simple folding, stamping and taping or using the Cricut and other machines to create designs), handmade crafts (crochet, simple knit, sewing to name a few), etc... Socialize with others who love to create in my home studio. Share the love of making gifts for others or for selling on Etsy.

This group is for anyone who is concerned about the environment and supports the green movement. We will have speakers on sustainability, holistic living, bio fuel, ecology, gardening, natural living, slow food and more. Basically it is for like minded folks who are willing to network and share information. Our goal is to educate each other and help stamp out greenwashing.  We want to help make the world a better place.  Come out and join us!

West Suburban Art Junkies is a meetup group where women can be inspired, can create and share their art. Each meetup will feature a project workshop that we will do together from start to finish, talk, laugh, lear …

What happened to us??!! If your like me, your single or divorced, busy with a full time job, and with commitments at home which don't allow you much time for yourself.

I  started a new Meetup for those of us in our 30's and 40's who find themselves single and looking for an opportunity to meet new people, start new friendships, and get out and have some fun. It …
