Hi Allison! You can participate in any craft you wish - if you want to bring stuff for only one craft, that's cool! If you want to bring something for all 4 - that's cool! If you need supplies, we will have limited quantities available at Sew Crafty for purchase!
Posted by Sarah Gabbart June 14, 2010 at 2:44 PM

Thanks to my awesome Facebook friends for kicking Houston into overdrive :)
Whatup Dallas! We need to have some sort of crafty collaboration or something. :D
Posted by roxy rodriguez June 8, 2010 at 5:44 PM
Dallas - you are a worthy adversary! Craft smackdown this fall perhaps? It's on - like Donkey Kong.

Seriously, you guys rule - it makes me sad that we are 4 hours apart and can't throw one giant party together!
Posted by Sarah Gabbart June 8, 2010 at 11:00 AM
Well played, Houston. You have proven yourself to be a worthy opponent - you received the highest RSVPs to an Etsy Meet-up as of June 7th.

We can't tell you how excited we are to meet another team interested in healthy competition - and in TEXAS!
We'd love the chance to win back our pride (and to have a little fun!) in a rematch of some sort. Contact us and we'll agree on the terms of the next Texas showdown.

Signed with a cowboy's sneer (and love),
Etsy Dallas Team

Posted by Sarah Gabbart June 7, 2010 at 10:35 PM
I SO wish I was going to be in town but on the 18th I will be getting my Rocky Mountain High (figuratively) on in Colorado....when I get home, I'd like to get ALL involved. GO HOUSTON...Dallas, bwahahahaha, look out!

Hi Beal! So far pretty good - I believe we're in the top 50! Now hopefully most everyone who RSVPed will show up on the 18th and we can cause a crafty ruckus!

Sounds great!!

We decided to do four craft stations. You can come make an inspiration board, rolled flower fun, a spring garland or fuzed plastic bags.
Posted by Allison Virgadamo May 30, 2010 at 3:28 PM
FYI...
What craft project should we make at our Craft Party?

That is up to you to decide. With some help from our friends at ReadyMade, we're going to be offering a download or two with ideas for inexpensive party crafts that are fun in a group setting. Also, be sure to browse the crafty how-to's on Etsy's blog for inspiration and instructions.

Just met with Roxy. We decided to do four craft stations. You can come make an inspiration board, rolled flower fun, a spring garland or fuzed plastic bags. You can chose which of the four you want to do. We will be posting more information and what you will need to bring on
http://www.etsyhoustontx.bl....

Don't forget...TELL ALL YOUR FRIENDS!!!! We need to be one of the top 50 cities!!!! Get excited.
Posted by Allison Virgadamo May 30, 2010 at 3:26 PM
Sorry, they will not allow me to post Allison's email address. She is listed as the group's organizer on the sidebar.
Posted by Amie Needham May 30, 2010 at 9:58 AM
Etsy Houston was brought into this short of last minute. We are working to see what can be done for the party. If you have ideas and would like to help, please contact Allison: [masked]
