This is the story of The Chix. The Chix is a very small group of shop owners who have become friends. We listen to each other and we support each other. I bet that only 4 of the 10 know where the name came from.
Back in January 2010 I met Artisan Originals and Fruits Of the Bloom on twitter. We started hanging out together with a small group of artisans. To make references easier we started referring to ourselves as the Chix. I don’t remember who used the term first, but I decided to open a twitter account using Chix in the handle.

The Chix have a few things in common. We all have shops on ArtFire and Facebook pages. We realized that each one of us deals with serious health issues, either our own or a family members.

And the best part of all --- I think The Chix are some of the best people I know.
I will be featuring each one of the Chix on my blog in the next few months so that you can meet them and get to know them better.
I am working on a widget to add to my blog with links to The Chix shops on ArtFire.

What a sweet post, Cheryl, and boy...does this take me back "when" us Chix were "born" online! I miss those Twitter days and all the laughs, but we are all still around for each other. That's the most important and wonderful thing, after all. ;o) Thanks so much for this blog post! Chix RULE!
Ahh, the good old twitter chix days! We had so much fun!!! :D
I thank every day for meeting you, Loren and Meredith on twitter. <3
