The Craft Buffet Recap

Thanks to all that made it out to the Craft Buffet!  It was such a good time.  We had a modest turnout, but you wouldn't know it by looking at ALL the stuff that was laid out on the tables.  There was so much that we couldn't even take it all home with us.  We actually stashed what was left for the next time.

Hopefully, we'll be posting some finished products consisting of Craft Buffet finds.  Be on the lookout for that.  Hey, what do you think?  Maybe we should have a contest.  Yes, let's do that.

Everyone that attended the first Craft Buffet, listen up!  You have a chance to win a ticket to the next Buffet.  All you have to do is submit your best project incorporating materials acquired during the event.  The only guideline is that the finished product must be comprised of at least 50% of traded materials.  We'll post the submissions in 2 weeks.  Then, we will all vote and announce the winner.

How's that for an incentive to follow up making use of your new supplies?  Can't wait to see what you create!

How will the Craft Buffet work?

Thinking of attending this Thursday's Craft Buffet but just not sure you get it?  Here's how its gonna work.

You are going to attend the event with a bunch of stuff you don't want (all of which is creative or artsy or crafty in nature). Before letting go of your stuff, you'll have your items tallied as to how many credits you get. Big items, 2 credits. Small items, one credit. Then, we'll chat and have a bit to eat. When that's done and after we've all sort of had time to peruse the pile a bit, we'll take turns picking an item. Once everyone has chosen, we'll give the opportunity to trade among each other if you see something better in someone else's hands. They can accept your offer or politely decline.

Bring as many or as few items as you want. That will determine how many credits you get. It is an opportunity to get rid of stuff that has been gathering dust. But, no one pays for stuff during the event. The price of the ticket gets you in for the event, light dinner faire, and something lovely to drink.

Think of it as some creative entertainment, the possibility of new inspiration (maybe grab stuff from a medium you've always wanted to try), and good conversation.

Tickets must be purchased in advance.  Thanks for being considerate!  Still need tickets? Stop by Sweetspot, The Fabulous Fabric Shop, or buy online below.

We all love a good sale

Stop by Sweetspot tomorrow (Saturday, May 8) any time and score an amazing deal on event tickets.  I believe you'll be able to get them as a "Buy one, get one half off" deal." 

See you then!

Lactose Free Milk

So I just realized that the Facebook "Like" box on the sidebar to the right does not feed over to Oh!Carousel's fan page.  Instead, it feeds over to the fan page for Lactose Free Milk.  Needless to say, I went ahead and removed the link until I can figure out what the problem is.  In the meantime, enjoy supporting lactose intolerance!
