WINE and CHEESE CRAFT PARTY!!

hi everyone!
to everyone who missed our little meeting tonight, here's an update:

we decided that our meetings need to be a little more fun (similar to the portland street team's tea "parties"), so our next scheduled meeting will be a Wine and Cheese Craft Party/Meeting! We're all going to hang out in my outdoor courtyard and drink wine/eat cheese and make crafts! Everyone should bring a craft to do (I'll put out a little card table to use), some wine, and an interesting cheese. It would also be awesome if we could each bring some promos to share with others- i think that was a good idea before. This will be 2 weeks from today, Thursday July 5th, at 6:30 pm. i'll post directions to my place that week.



on to the next order of business... Pam had a great idea- that we start doing home parties (similar to those candle or tupperware party). we were thinking we'll start with one of us hosting, with a few others showing at the party. the hostess will get free gifts, and we'll all invite people we know to browse our wares and drink some margaritas! i've heard of other artists doing this and making some good money. so, we'd like to work out this idea and plan something during the upcoming Wine and Cheese Party.

that about covers it- i hope we see you all there next time (with wine, cheese, promos, crafts, and lots of ideas!).

Meeting?

We are due this week for our second meeting of the month. I won't be able to make but wanted to remind everyone else on the off chance we had some people interested. I'll be loading my moving van in preparation for moving this Friday.
I wish I could be there to hear all the stories about the show in Portland in the rain!
See you guys after the move and the wedding!

General Meeting on Thursday, June 7

We are going to start having meetings every other Thursday so everyone can plan on it. We will meet at the World Cafe at 6:30 pm. Please bring any promo items you have, especially biz cards. Some of us who are going to the Portland show next weekend would love to have them available to hand out. And, remember, the more you get your name out there and people visiting your shop, the more successful your shop with be. So bring on the promos!
