Craft Till Ya Drop Extravaganza!

Hey ya'll! Molly here, Gypsy Queen of November.

Whitney has extended the invitation to the ladies of the Guild to participate and include our handmade wares in an upcoming boutique hosted at the assisted living community. 

In an effort to help Whitney fill spaces, and possibly earn a couple pennies for you in the process, The Gypsy Guild is going extreme. 

Craft Till Ya Drop Extravaganza!

The 411:
Friday, November 4th
7pm to 12am (yeah, that's midnight yo.)
Come and Go
Gypsy Cindy's House 

The object of this meeting is to purge your craft piles of the projects you've been putting off and just do it. With the help of friends and good food, of course. Then you can include your finished goods in the November 12th boutique and make a buck. There is no organized craft. Instead bring the supplies you've had for three years stashed in the back of your kid's closet that you've been meaning to make. 

BUT if you don't have any lingering projects, I issue a challenge based on this: http://www.younghouselove.com/2011/10/its-baaaack/

Choose one of your many "pins" (I know you've got 'em and if you don't you can choose one of mine because I've gone a little pin crazy...eh, hem...but I digress) and instead of storing it for safe keeping on your virtual board - do it! Maybe a recipe, diy craft or holiday gift. 

OR if you don't have a craft in the pipeline then just come and enjoy the crafting camaraderie. You can come and help someone else work on their project or just hang with the girls. 


Note: nothing you make needs to be sold at the boutique, unless you want it to be. 


SPECIAL BONUS! We will have a question and answer session with resident couponing professionals! Q&A starts promptly at 7:30. Learn how to shop like a coupon rock star. 


Spread the word to your people. All Gypsies are welcome. 

Drinks and laughs will be provided, please bring a little sum'n-sum'n to share. I am bringing these: http://pinterest.com/pin/381486044/

We are the Double G,
Fun times for you and me!
Sometimes we eat some food,
It puts us in a happy mood. 
And we'll do it again, 
We love making new friends.
Gather all you Gypsy crafters,
Follow the sound of laughters.

(Yeah, I pretty much just wrote that in two seconds. Booyah!)
