Meet Up & Share What You Love

Have a Hobby You Want to Share?


For those of you who have a passion whether it be photography, craft, cinema… it is not always easy to meet people with the same interests as you. It’s good to have friends with different backgrounds. However it’s also nice to meet people with whom you can actually share about your passion. This is what Meetup.com is for. It’s a really cool website that I recently discovered. You can find groups of interests in your area such as Crafters, Movie Fans, Monopoly Players or Scrapbook Lovers. Usually you don’t have to pay to be a member which is good in this economy!

Some of these groups can meet from very often (weekly), to more rarely (monthly). For my part, I am already part of 30 groups on Meetup, because the more groups you are in, the more opportunities you have to go out & share the things you love with similar people. Here is an example of a scrapbook group in the San Francisco area.

Feel free to browse the website to find more groups that match your interests. Here at OttLite we were thinking about creating a few OttLite Crafting & Scrapbooking Groups this summer....would this be something that you would be interested & possibly join?

At OttLite we also have a group that feels like a little family: Our community that you can find here.

By subscribing, you will be entitled to many benefits including a free E-mail newsletter subscription that includes hobby and craft projects, tips and tricks, as well as exclusive sales & promotions.
