Once you go, "you know"

I didn't see any comments regarding the art festivals in "the heart of Arizona", Payson, Strawberry, Pine, where our shows really do have "heart". I would love some feedback. The artisans of Strawberry and Pine started the Arts & Crafts Festivals 31 years ago as a way for local artists to give back to the rural community. The members of the Pine-Strawberry Arts & Crafts Guild of today, some the founding members, carry on the tradition of helping the community and providing a venue for…See More

First show ever
I've attended Arts & Crafts Festivals for many years, but only after moving to a rural community in Northern Arizona did I discover my own "inner artist", which stems from a life-long love of pine cones. I began making wreaths and then joined the local Arts & Crafts Guild to get involved with the shows. I love it.

Boycott negativity on AFI

Posted on April 24, 2011 at 3:41pm 44 Comments

It's very hard for me to understand those who slam others and make negative/RUDE comments about others work. You can't even call it "constructive criticism" - there's nothing constructive about it. Who do they think they are? Do they think they are extra special? Their work may be extraordinary - but would you really want to give them the time of day, let alone purchase their art? It's time to stand together and boycott negativity!

This is a great site that Connie had a…

A Lesson on the Origin of Arts & Crafts (c) Joy Hafford 2/28/11

Posted on February 28, 2011 at 5:30pm 6 Comments
