About Crafting Crazy

So What's It All About?

Crafting Crazy is the brain child of Patty Everett and Gary McHugh.

A jewelry designer herself Patty originally had her own site selling her pieces. While she was a talented designer she realized that promoting and maintaining a website were two full time jobs on top of the designing.

After trading for about a year it occurred to Patty that there must be others like her, talented jewelry designers that maybe did not have the technical know how to build and maintain an e-commerce site or the experience in marketing to make a site successful.

At this point Patty talked with Gary McHugh from 2001web.com and discussed the idea of building an online mall where jewelry artists could list their items for sale without the need to build their own site. So reducing the time needed to construct and maintain a site and of course drastically reducing the costs.

From these conversations a new partnership was formed and 1 Of A Kind Jewelry Mall was built. The mall went through several re-inventions over the next few years and like most malls charged a monthly rent of $32 including a $10 advertising fee.

The mall grew quickly, however unfortunately with times as the are in the US it reached a point where the monthly outlay became a little too much for the malls designers even at $32 a month.

So once again Patty and Gary got their heads together and re-invented, and Crafting Crazy was Born. A simple monthly listing fee per item, no commissions, no rents nice and easy and more importantly affordable for all.
