ETSY Craft Party!

CRAFT 6759

A little over a week ago, RANCHO COCOA (a.k.a., me and Missy), along with TREEHOUSE KID & CRAFT, hosted the worldwide ETSY CRAFT PARTY day. Everyone was invited to come down to the Treehouse store last friday to come hang out, have some snacks, and work on craft projects before hitting up the town for a big night out. Needless to say, it was the perfect setting for a bunch of folks to come together to create and make new friends...the theme of the night was "WISH YOU WERE HERE"...

Thanks, Jenny! We had so much fun at this Craft Party. I think we are going to try and make it a monthly event!

We're going to be bringing Church of Craft Athens back to life and it's probably going to be a once-a-month thing at Treehouse. We'll be sure to let everyone know!
