The staff constantly working for better solutions. They never deny any possibility of building a better community. They are working so hard for their customers. I just love their attitudes of never give up! Now in this world, when everybody is upsetting something, this site keeps cheer you up! Love you Artfire! =)

I found this post from Etsy forum, but I think it's very useful for us to get the real statistics without us going in and out our own studio. This post is original posted by FrucciDesign from Etsy! (((( This post is not written by me! ))))
