Craft Party Days!

I am so excited about the Etsy Craft Party! Is your Craft Party today or tomorrow?
I am holding my Etsy Craft Party tomorrow at a local crafting business called The Crafty Fox. I have several people from my team C'Ville Handmade & Vintage as well as a few from a local crafting group Craft C'Ville coming. My head count came to 18. I am pretty happy with that number for my first Etsy Craft Party. I have been making signs, getting sweets together and having fun buying supplies and prizes etc. Our theme is Etsy Is So Sweet and I have a candy bar planned. I have Etsy stickers that I received from the Craft Party Fellowship that I used to decorate things. And with paper being the Etsy theme I tried to make containers out of paper too. Still so much to do today! Hope everyone has a great Etsy Craft Party. Can not wait to see the photos and videos of your events.

I can not believe that I am still working on getting everything together for the Craft Party tomorrow. Just when I think I am done there are ten more things on my list. There is paper everywhere! Picked up some last minute things today and now everything is in a big stack waiting for tomorrow. Have fun everyone.

Yay! We had a great Etsy Craft party this evening. We had a candy bar and all sorts of sweets. We made paper crafts and had random drawings. We had 18 people which was good for my first time putting the Etsy Craft Party together. It was a lot of fun and I am so glad that Etsy offers this to everyone. I really felt part of the Etsy commuinty!

Re: Craft Party Days!

Good to hear that other people had successful and fun parties. Ours was insane, in a good way. We had a craft fair attached to our and it didn't start till 10am on Sat but by 9:30am there were over a 100 people already lined up waiting to get in. The number of people who came through from 10-4 on Sat was in the 1000s for sure, and I got a lot of questions about when the next one was going to be. My vendors really appreciated the Etsy readers we were sent and expressed their thanks to Etsy. I have to gather pics from others because I was running around all day, being interviewed, on the mic every 30 mins announcing demos & pulling numbers for prize drawings, checking on my husband outside who was in charge of getting the food trucks set up and parking, etc. that I only got to take one pic. Then my phone died and the cable to charge it to my portable did not want to work. I am also hoping that the College newspaper that interviewed will send me the pictures and video they took, soon.

This event was more successful than we had hoped for or event expected. It has opened the door for the guild to now have more selling events, and partner with others in the community.

Wow, that was a blast. All our 3 workshops were a great success. There were team members, friends, family. But we also had people coming in who never even had heard of Etsy but had seen our poster in the library.

One the goals of the Craft party: 'bringing our team together' really worked. From starting as a group of 4 active members 8 months ago, we now had about 12 people actively involved. Plus our team has now grown to over 50 members.

Here are our photo's (I'll try to upload some to Etsy Flickr as well):
