crafty charity

There is a lot of giving and charity in the world of crafters. While at CHA – I was able to screen-print on draw string bags that attendees were sewing with The American Sewing Guild . These bags will be filled with goodies and shipped to the troops overseas.

I also stopped by the scrapbook royalty crop night to see about 300 gals and two guys with all of their crafting supplies laid out. This was a charity event benefiting The Kids in Need Foundation. There were also raffles and a silent auction with goodies given out by Provo Craft, Fiskers, Ellison and more. Pretty impressive!

Crafty PJ Party

Me and Sarah the pro screen printers we are – pitched in and screen printed 125 tote bags for the Inspired by Home Pajama Party. It was a whirlwind that was down to the wire to get all of them done and laid out to dry before the party started. We went back to visit during the party and the gals looked like they were having a lot of fun in the PJ’s, slippers and hair curlers.

What is that on your jacket?

It’s ink people! Demoing the YUDU and Your Story for Provo Craft the last couple of days has been super fun. While all the other peeps in the booth are wearing nice clean white bakers jackets – mine is covered in red screen printing ink. What can I say I am trained as a painter and don’t generally concern myself with such things. After talking my throat raw (thanks for those who brought me water and cough drops!) I am reminded how great it would be to have screen printers in all of the schools just like the die cutters that are in every school. What great fundraiser opportunities! Another mission for me to focus on. Here are some booth shots from the last couple of days.
