This is a call to all Gals crafty:
It is my pleasure to announce that
Friday, April 10th, 2009 at 6:00pm
Alewives Fabrics will be hosting it's first annual
Craft Swap!!!
What's a Craft Swap?
A Craft Swap is exactly like a Yankee Swap.
Except it's different.
In a Yankee Swap, you exchange Christmas presents.
In a Craft Swap, you exchange crafts.
And I'm not talking just any ol' thing that you've slapped together, either.
I'm talking about your BEST CHEESE.
And your Crafts for said Craft Swap needn't even be of the "fabric" variety.
Know how to knit?
I would KILL for a pair of gorgeous socks.
Is it possible that you paint?
I would trample my own Mother for a one of a kind work of art.
Is your beadwork blossoming?
I would wear lycra if it meant I could have a gorgeous bracelet.
No matter what your poison, this is a chance for you to show off your talent...
And go home with something fabulous and new.
Who doesn't like all things fabulous and new?
(I DO!!!)
So, get creative, Ladies!
Unleash your inner Martha...
Really think outside of the box and out-do yourselves!
Why?
Because we live in Maine and it's the middle of the Winter.
That's why!!!
Remember, the Craft Swap is FREE
But you need to call and sign up so that we know what we are dealing with.
We will be exchanging crafts IN PERSON
and we are exchanging FINISHED CRAFTS, (not craft supplies).
The most important rule about Craft Swap?
You DON'T tell ANYONE what you are making.
The second most important rule about Fight Club ... I mean Craft Swap?
You DON'T tell ANYONE what you are making.
Capiche?
And if you're still confused about just exactly what a Craft Swap is...
...and what exactly I mean when I say your BEST CHEESE...
Here are some links for you to follow:
Try here,
and definitely here.
And speaking of Cheese, we will be serving Wine and Cheese at the Craft Swap, so come feeling nibbly.
Any questions?
Just call me at the store or shoot me an e-mail!
Vroom, vroom, ladies!
LET THE CRAFTING BEGIN!!!
xoxo,
Rhea
