That 5 year notation is there because of how my library software is integrated with PayPal. You see, the main library payment is set up as a subscription which requires a time frame. So for example, your first payment of $9.95 is set to bill every 90 days.

But that Charter Membership Package is just a one time fee of $9.95. And because PayPal "needed" a time frame for their calculation to work, I picked the longest option… 5 years. It's nothing to worry about though. I can guarantee that the $9.95 price for the Charter Member Package is in fact just a one time fee.

Thanks for bringing that up.

And here's a question which came in this morning via email, that I'd like to address…

"…I'm a little confused on how I access the bonus recipe cards each week? For instance…the hospital green…I get the Oops!! Page!! Hugs Peg :)"

Hi Peg. Hugs back. I see that you are a full member and that you have taken advantage of the charter member offer. Good decision :) and welcome! You now have access to everything in the library except for the bonus recipe cards. Those recipe cards will only become available through special "no-cost" promotions, contests and surveys.

You can can get a feel for how these bonus recipes are given away by having a look at my Oct 18 blog post. The link by my name will take you there.

In the meantime as a full member, you do have access to all the "regular" color recipe cards. They are the ones listed as "A" recipes in the recipe index. The bonus recipes are marked with a "B".

Hopefully this clarifies things for you Peg.

I became a Paying Member and a Charter Member both this evening. I am so glad that I got in on your great offer for Charter Membership before October 31st! I hope everyone else who wants access to all of the past videos from the beginning will get in on this fabulous deal! A one time fee of $9.95 (after becoming a Paid Member for just $9.95 once every 3 months, of course) for a chance to be able to always go back to the first videos made by Cindy, is a beautiful deal!!!

Well, I am sitting here for hours just enjoying all that you have to offer!!! It is actually 3:38 in the morning where I am, and I just finished going through many videos…some that were new to me, and some that I had seen months ago. It is really cool seeing the ones I already saw before, because it is like I am seeing them with new eyes, and learning even more the second time around! I really want to encourage anyone who is going back and forth about weather or not to get a Paid Membership or a Charter Membership…DO IT, YOU WILL BE SOOOOOOO GLAD YOU DID!!! Now that I have my User ID and password, I easily get around in the library to see videos on anything that I am interested in at any moment. It is really great! The recipe cards are so nice as well. I am a painter and didn't think that I would need the recipe cards because I am so used to mixing paint colors together…well…I LOVE THE RECIPE CARDS!!! You have shown me that there are sooooooo many different colors that I can make from my clay! So many different greens, blues, reds, purples, yellows, and even metallic colors and different natural "white" colors. Thank you so much!

I AM really looking forward to everything to come here at your site in the future, and am really enjoying everything that is now within my reach from the past, just by signing in to "my new library."

Sincerely, Cindy Erickson

And for anyone else who is already on the Guest List that has not yet received your invitation, leave a comment below or send me an email and I'll forward it to you immediately.

For everyone else that is interested in getting the library invitation, what you do is sign up for my Guest list (use the link by name above) and you can receive the invitation that way.

Saw your current e-mail on membership, and maybe I'm confused. It gave us an option to signing on by 10/31/08, in order to be eligible for the cards (I think). Anyway, is this set up as of yet? Just wanted to be sure and connect with you prior to your "GRAND OPENING". Wasn't sure as to whether or not we could sign on with PayPal, because if there is a way for us to do so "I'm in!".

Thanks alot! Sorry, but things sometimes get confusing for me, and this has been a rambuncious one for me. Ha! Ha!

"Here's Look'n at Ya Kid!" I'm sure that it will be great — like your other things you have set out for us.

Sorry, but wanted to be sure that everything was going okay.

Regards,

Diana (Queen of Beads)

P.S. Wasn't sure as to whether it was going up yet, because I went onto your e-mail and there was no information as to how to get on-board. It just mentioned that it was finally ready, but no place to go.

And here's another comment that I copied from another post which talks about the new library…

"Cindy, just joined as a paid member for both new and historical information. This site is fantastic and I am thrilled with what I have seen so far. You are an excellent teacher, and some of the follow up suggestions and hints in the comments section from others are equally great." ~jwc

Thank you jwc! It's great to have you as a member.
