Announcing.... CraftyCon!

Here on this blog… because if you’re a crafter who Tweets or Facebooks you’ve probably already heard about it. ;)

I’m so excited to share though (in case you haven’t) about this fantastic conference for Crafters BY Crafters which will be held in Chicago (my home base) October 21-23.    This unique get together for professional crafters (or those that dream of being one) is put together in part by the editorial team at Craft Critique, so I’m a little partial to saying I know it will be a blast.  And you can bet I’ll be there!

So, how can you get involved?  Click the logo above to be taken to the website where you should sign up for notifications that registration is open and more.  Currently there’s a call for speakers too, and I know there have already be some A-mazing submissions.

Next, follow along on Twitter here:  @crafty_con

And become a fan on Facebook here:  CraftyCon Fan Page

I’m so excited just thinking about all the amazing crafty minds that will be there to network and share ideas.  Seriously, from what a little bird has told me…. this is going to be AWESOME.  I’ll of course share more as I learn more (and can), but in the mean time go on and sign up for those updates. Yay!

Now back to your regularly scheduled craftiness… what’cha doing this weekend?  Something creative I hope.  Nothing helps cut through these winter blues like splashing some color around a scrapbook page or canvas.  I’ll be here this weekend posting some fun projects – I’ve got the itch to get some crafty on!

Thanks for stopping by today, and see you soon!

(And Happy Friday – you made it!!  Woot!)

Mwah.
