Country Cuzins is a family business specializing in handpainting on wood and fabric creations, such as quilted items and free standing snowmen and santas. We've been in business for over 20 years, but our website has only been up for 3 years. Unfortunately, we can't put everything on our website, so we do a number of craft shows here in eastern Pennsylvania, during the Sept-Dec. craft season. We are proud to say, that all our items have been handcrafted by us and we strive to please our valued customers. Please take a minute and visit us and sign our guest book, we'd love to hear any comments or suggestions.

This is a great site..make sure and stop by and show your support!!
If you go to this web site, www.letssaythanks.com , you can pick out a thank you card and Xerox will print it and it will be sent to a soldier who is currently serving in Iraq. You can't pick out who gets it, but it will go to some member of the armed services.

How AMAZING it would be if we could get everyone we know to send one!!!This is a great site.Please send a card.It is FREE and it only takes a minute.Wouldn't it be wonderful if the soldiers received a bunch of these? Whether you are for or against the war, our guys and gals over there need to know we are behind them.

Crafter Spotlight..COUNTRY CRAFT DIRECTORY

2006-11-30T13:46:00.000-08:00

Hi, My name is dap and I am the owner of :

Country From The Heart Crafts 'N Consignment Shoppe
http://www.CountryFromTheHeart.com

Country Crafts Directory
http://www.CountryCraftsDirectory.com

Country Peddlers Marketplace
http://www.CountryPeddlersMarketplace.com

Kerri has so kindly asked me to tell you a little bit about myself and my businesses, so here goes lol.

Starting off from scratch knowing absolutely NOTHING about the web, my first adventure was just that.... an adventure. I sat down and taught myself html coding and after a couple of months of pulling out my hair , I had my first website built: Country From The Heart Crafts 'N Consignment Shoppe.

I thought it would be such a neat idea to be able to offer a place for Crafter's that didn't have the means or the resources to have their own websites, a safe place to sell their products online. So my husband and I started out offering our own crafts and a few crafts from local Crafter's and today we have a wonderful group of Crafter's from all over the world ( from Mom's to Senior's ) selling their craft and gift items on CFTH. I couldn't be happier with the progress the business has made throughout the years.

After a few years and once CFTH was established and doing so well, I decided to create yet another online business which became: Country Crafts Directory. And boy it is a full time job in it's self lol. The Directory offers anyone crafty with a website a great place to get more exposure for their craft business. I spend hours and hours daily to get the Directory out there an noticed not only on the web but off the web as well. Which in tern has brought a great deal of traffic flow through to our members sites. We now have over 125 members and there is NEVER enough time in a day lol.

And lastly about six months ago a fellow business woman emailed me and asked if I could take over her online business, knowing that I would take it on and give it my all just as I do with my businesses. And that's how I came to be the owner of: Country Peddlers Marketplace. It took some time to get everything switched over and get settled in but I really feel that it is on it's way.

I have been involved with the online craft community in one way or another for quite a few years now, and I feel so blessed to be able to get up every morning and do exactly what I love to do. I also have been sooo fortunate to get the chance to work so closely with such a fantastic group of people on a daily basis. And to be able to build some life long friendships along the way!
There are days when I just look up and say "THANKS" !! :)

I am sooo proud of what I have accomplished with my businesses and the manner in which I do business. My first thought is
ALWAYS the Customers and the Crafters, and having my businesses be a valuable resource for the Crafting Community!

So if your in the neighborhood drop in and spend a little time with us. We would love to have you!!
All of our members on all three sites have so many unique prim and crafty items to offer.
You can't help but have a great time just wondering about.

Have a Safe & Happy Holiday Season!!
