I joined the Creative Home Arts Club as a Life Member back in Sept. of 2004, member number [protected]. Paid $340.00 plus for the membership. Everything was fine in the beginning. Magazines where great until the changed to scrap booking only. Then everything stopped. I didn't get magazines, nothing. Now you can't even log onto the site. I realize things change in 14 years - but really - Life Member should mean Life. They should be required to refund membership fee's.
I just found my membership card in my rolling cart, that was packed away for years. I had joined back in September of 2003. Just went on line to check out the website and found these postings. Sad we didn’t get what we all paid for. Ginny1949@comcast.net
Count me in as well, been/ was a member since Oct 2005. Never heard way their stopped. Was it just another scam. Get the money and run.
I have been wondering the same for awhile now. I bought into the club ages ago and received the binders, rolling cart and magazine for awhile. I have not heard anything from them for years. No email no nothing. Yesterday I was using the rolling cart and the handle broke. Have to creatively figure out a way to fix the handle now, since their is no customer service to contact. There are other less expensive club memberships out there, but it stinks that company goes belly up with no word to their members.
I also joined the lifetime membership and got the binders, the magazine and the rolling cart (still have). I have been wondering what happened to them too but today when I came across some of my paperwork from them I decided to look into it more and found that so many people are wondering the same thing. It's been years since I haven't seen any correspondence from them. I don't remember which email I used with them but came across a old letter from them from 2009 and it has my membership # on it and I have my card somewhere just not in my hand. Here's the email I believe I used for this membership please contact me if you know anything via my email above; durandmelodia@gmail.com. Thank you so much.

Same here, just found the card while moving and went on line to see what was up and saw this thread. Member since 2009 according to the card. I guess I am out of luck too.
I’m a few months behind all of you but I just found my “Lifetime Member” folder! I guess I’m not alone, $360 really got me nowhere!
I’m adding myself to the list of those whose lifetime membership seems to be worthless.
Same as the rest of you, guess it was scam when they didn't have that many back then. Life time member.
From what I'm hearing it would appear that "Lifetime" means something different than what most of us thought it meant, The company can just as well say they meant the lifetime of the company not our lifetime. Looks like we've all been bambuzelled!.
Carol Ellis from NC. I joined maybe 30 years ago. I got the tote bag with my name on it and the bag that has wheels and I ordered a couple of kits. I got a letter saying they were changing the name of the company and around that time I moved. I sent them my new address but never heard back. I paid a lot of money and was out of it. Due to moving I never got Anthony back. I would like to know how get in contact with them so they can reinstate my life membership
Obviously they didn't do well in the scrapbooking business, went bankrupt and disappeared. Their lifetime and other people's lifetime means two different things. It's like buying a lifetime membership with a gym and it closes down and they don't have the money anymore. You could try and sue but good luck with that. Unfortunately these things happen and we lose our money for believing in other people.
Lived in low income housing at that time and thought that it would mean that I would get free or low cost kits for myself or my kids. LIES. Now I'm out money and hopes
I totally forgot about them until I came across my lifetime membership card today. I became a lifetime member in June 2003. I believe my fee was ~$100. If anyone finds out anything please share I’d like to know what happened.
Same with me! I don't remember how much I paid to be a lifetime member. My card says member since 02/2008. Website is gone.
I too just found my card (member since 5/2002. My receipt for my Life Member Fee says $336.00. When they first started they were great. Haven't been able to get a response for years. Would love an update on them. And, yes, lifetime SHOULD mean lifetime!
Like many others my Lifetime member club does not exist any more .What is being done about this.At least we are entitled to some reimbursment. Linda B. Seifert email spouseto 4of 8@yahoo.com thank you.
Also a lifetime member. Just happened to be using a cutting mat with their name on it and decided to look them up. Rip off.
This is crazy because today (1/19/21) I came across a craft tote I got when I joined as a LIFE member. So I did a search on the name Creative Hime Arts to see if they were still in business.
All I found was BBB complaints about the company.
So now I’m wondering if we will get a refund?
Wow, I still have my password. I hope someone can find out because I looked and found the same BBB complaints and they owe me $360.00 also.
I am right there with the rest of you. I became a lifetime member since 10/2004. I hated when they changed magazine to scrapbooking. Just look how many lifetime members just on here that have been cheated. June
I also am a Lifetime Charter member from 2004. I received a few kits and magazines. But I have not received anything in a long time(years). Would like to know what happened to them.
Same here I came across my membership card and I'm wondering what happened to this company. It was great in the beginning then it was gone. Any information would be great
I am in the same shoes as you all -- cleaning out and came across the Membership Benefits & Services handbook that I joined a long time ago (don't even remember how long ago). Very disappointing that this company has failed us.
I completely forgot about this club I too like everyone else was a “life member” I came across my club member card yesterday because I was cleaning out the shed and had a storage container filled with things from my office old papers and such. I am determined to discover if I can what exactly happened with this company, like all of you I’m very pissed off when thinking about it. So if anyone is still around if I find out any information I will post here wish me luck LOL
I too was a Life Member since 5/2003 was wondering what happened. Came across my membership ship card the other day.
Please include me if anything is filed for lawsuit. Or if anything is found out

I too had joined and ran across some of my paperwork just today and was wondering what had happened to this company and seen this group messaging going on. If anyone ever finds out I sure would like to know...I will place my email lorie.young71@hotmail.com. It is very frustrating to think that a company would take people's hard earned money and then shut down and then think that it would be ok without any kind of explanation.
I joined the lifetime membership in 2008. I did receive nice beading tools, a cutting mat, project totes with my name, magizines, and books. I even got to try some new products. Then nothing. Like everyone else, the company seems to have vanished with no warning. I paid a lot for a lifetime membership. It is disappointing that they just vanished with no warning.
I too would like to know what happened.
I may as well add my name too. Became a member, paid my fees & nothing! Actually forgot all about it till I came across my membership info.
I too became a life time member of these idiots back in 2009 and pd $380.00 I totally forgot about them until I was moving and found my membership card and welcome paper..the only thing I recieved from them after the tote bags were some attic rings that go around gift paper to keep the roll in
Place..i would like to know what happened
to this place and everyone's money..
Very pissed off..
I came across a magnet I had with all their contact info on it while organizing my storage (hadn’t been in that storage for over 8 years!) and decided I’d look them up and see about finally joining. After reading these comments, I’m grateful I wasn’t able to afford the membership all those years ago!
This is unacceptable. I purchased a lifetime membership in 2003 not realizing that it meant the "lifetime" of a shady company that took our money and ran. Judging by the previous posts, no one is happy.
I also forgot about this, until I went through a drawer and found a product letter and my membership card. I was a charter member. It's been so long since I've received anything from them.
It also happened to me. I tried calling a non working number. We should be able to get a refund. I also was a lifetime member with their Cooking Club.
I'm glad to see I'm not alone in this. I paid for a lifetime membership and haven't heard anything in years either. Its a shame. The cooking club disappeared as well. I would like some answers.
Yes I too am a Lifetime Member, paid over $350.00 for it, was very happy with what I was getting then the scrape book thing happened, was not a fan. Then nothing even after finding them again cause they changed their name without any notice to the Lifetime members. Wow where is all the stuff we were promised?
What did they change their name to? Do you remember?
Count me in with the rest. I think I threw everything away by now
I've been a lifetime member since 2004 too and I too was robbed.
I’ve been a lifetime member since 2004, and like everyone else, I was robbed.
I am like AmberRT above. I only paid $50 or $60 for Lifetime Membership back in 2006. Just came across my membership packet last week and threw it in the trash. The big rolling tote I received is great and I still use it, but I never expect to find out what happened to them.
Wow, I had completely forgotten about this club until I came across a big stack of "Make your own gift card! Enjoy this free life member gift from the Creative Home Arts Club" packets. It shocks me that so many were charged so much for 'lifetime membership'. I must have joined around 2006, but I believe that I was only charged ~$50 and not the three figures that seem so common. I got a nice(ish) tote, and a bunch of these little free packets of 3x2" gift card sets with "MADE IN CHINA" printed on the back. They really did just stop sending me magazines and free stuff at some point in 2009. I wonder if it was a money laundering scheme?
I joined may 2004 and paid close to $400.
I too became a life member back in 2004 ! I didn’t know 🤷♀️ why I didn’t hear anything from this art club! I really like it at first . I hope someone will respond to these e-mails!
I'm also a lifetime member since 2004. It was great when it started but I agree lifetime members should have received something before they completely closed
I too have been a life time member since 02/2005. Think about this club often. I loved my magazines and crafts. I also joined The cooking club of America Life Member through this site. 02/2008. We sure did get ripped off. No one even has the courtesy to answer all these questions on here. Never will I fall for a lifetime member again!
Total scam since the beginning!
Just threw my lifetime pin away.
Gave away the large cheaply made tote, but am keeping the small hand tote with my name on it for portable projects.
I have been wondering the same thing.
Same here. It is frustrating! Been a life time member since 2007
Adding my name to this list in case someone ACTUALLY replies within the information. :) Same scenario as everyone else in this chain.
