Creative Home Arts Club
Reviews and Complaints

I paid $300 for a life time membership and I never heard another thing from them. I have my card that states I'm a lifetime memory since 08/2005. What happened? I'm an avid crafter and that was why I joined Creative Home Arts club, but I am really disappointed with what happened. I don't know what to expect but something needs to be done, to correct this.

I still have my life membership card, which states that I became a life member on 7/2006..
As soon as they received my $300 lifetime membership fee, I quit receiving my magazines, and everything else the life membership entailed.. Which was periodic craft supplies, etc..
I want to be fully refunded now, as they led me to believe I was purchasing a lifetime of craft ideas and magazines with ideas and supplies that help us be creative..
Thank you,

I joined the life member ship in June of 2009, I have not heard anything from this company in years. I would like my money back since they are not doing anything for me. I was very excited about this membership and was afraid I was not going to be able to afford it. I used my Social Security disability to pay for it. I am very disappointed that they have not contacted me in several years. My member number is [protected], Judy Hlad.

I have been a lifetime member for a very long time. I don't recall receiving a magazine for quite some time now. Since I relocated a year ago, if that is the problem, I will happily send you my updated address.
To prove legitimacy, if you could please send me an email to which I can respond, it would be much appreciated.
I look forward to hearing from you in the very near future.

Thank you,

I have been a member since 2008 I am a life time member. What is going on? There's no site to go to anymore! I paid a lot to become a life member, I'm also a life member of garden and handyman. All three I paid a lot for life member. I don't hear anything from any of the clubs! I want my money back! Tell me what I need to do to get that done? I totally enjoyed it while it was there. Bad business

I also am a life time member paid $300.00 for it back maybe 2006 I believe, , I received garden tools and a bag with my name on it that was it nothing else no magazines no nothing... I demand my money back I said it back then now I'm saying it now!
I would think someone would do something about this with so many people that got scammed out of $300 that's a lot of money being it was 06! I sure hope we would get a complete refund!;

I have been a lifetime member since 2005. After paying my membership I have not received anything from the company. When you try to contact the company by website and phone. You get nothing. I have tried for years now. There own card states you will receive magazine, items to test, and much much more. I WANT MY MONEY BACK SINCE THEY BROKE THEIR OWN POLICY. This company sent me complimentary items before i became a member. Once they got my $350.00 I havent heard anything from them. I still have my card for membership for them and Cooking Club Membership NEITHER company has done as they advertised. To me thats false advertisement . They need to do the right thing and return ALL memberships. Tena Elkins

I signed up as a lifetime member and shortly after I signed up and paid I stopped receiving anything. I don't get the magazine or any else. Have tried to go online and get no where. I think I should be refunded my money since I paid for something I am not receiving and have not received. Did enjoy but now wish I would of never spent the money. My member number is [protected] 7.

I joined the Creative Home Arts Club as a Life Time Member back in November, 2006. After I had paid approx. $350.00 for membership and reached Life Time Member status, I have not received anything to try out for consumers nor heard from Creative Home Arts Club. What is going on? I truly enjoyed your magazine and trying new items. Please let me know what is going on and why I have not heard from you.

I would appreciate a reply.

I paid for a lifetime membership and received a few magazines then nothing. Did they go out of business along with their cooking club and gardening club? I was a lifetime member in all three clubs. Some sort of explanation should be sent or posted to all the lifetime members as to what happened. Unfortunately it looks like all of us fell for a scam.
The president & ceo is listed as Nancy Evensen, senior Vice President: Tony DeFranco, Vice President, finance: Kate Pope, Vice President, information systems: Scott Simerlin, Vice President, human resourses: Sherry Lee Phone # listed was [protected].
My member# [protected].
I had tried to get in touch by calling numerous times, but was left on hold, or was accidentally hung up on. When I called back I was left on hold again or was disconnected.
I never thought there was anything I could do other than accept the fact I was scammed. I would like a complaint filed against the companies if that could be possible.

Just like everyone else, I paid $300+ to join this "lifetime" membership in September 2006. I received a couple of items, but not much! Certainly not $300 worth. I came across my membership card recently and sparked my memory that I haven't received anything from them in years. Now, no website, phone disconnected, etc. Where did they go with our money? What can we do about it? What a rip off!

I would like a refund for the lifetime membership fee I paid but realize that probably won't happen. I am updating information in my computer on accounts I have and imagine my surprise when I tried to go their website. If a refund was made to members I guess they missed mine. I tried the phone numbers show here and neither is a good number. Does anyone know if there is some sort of compensation due to those that paid for the lifetime membership?

I was a life member of Creative Home Arts Club, I paid $300.00 to join and I never received all of the totes that they promised and after so long I quit receiving the magazine and also any literature that they sent out. I first was told that they were changing the magazine then they stopped sending the magazine all together. I was very disappointed when things went wrong, because I did enjoy the information that I recieved and also the crafts.

I am Jori R Boeckman #[protected] member since 11/2006. I have paid all my fees/dues and they just up and stopped sending. I should get my lifetime cost back if they cannot honor my membership. I have always counted on this company to follow through. I am still waiting on my second roller case that needed replacing due to zipper was broken. That never happened. I am home bound and count on companies like this as an outlet for my creativity. What happened to the kits? All these promises of what to expect are no where to be seen.

I have been a life member of this club since 2002 and have not received anything in a long time. My member ship number is [protected]. Why am I not receiving any benefits. I used to get a magazine, test kit offers and product giveaways. Calendars, patterns, and other informational things about group meetings or board decisions. Now nothing. The same thing has happened with other club memberships that were headquarter in the same area of Minnesota. The Cooking Club of America and the National Home Gardening Club. I have life membership to all. Please forward me any information to has the status of all three groups. Thank you for your assistance.
