Calling all crafting addicts! Join the Richmond Craft Mafia and Richmond Etsy Street Team for the Crafters Anonymous Craft Swap! Swap unwanted supplies for ones you can use. Donate supplies early at local drop off spots or come the day of and pay $5 at the door. All proceeds go to support Art 180 - a Richmond based non-profit organization that creates and provides art-related programs to young people living in challenging circumstances, encouraging personal and community change through self-expression.
Even if you don't have supplies to swap or want to take any, come out and join us for a day of crafting and all around good times. Crafting tables will be set-up all day!
Can't make it? If you interested in donating supplies to the swap we'll take them by mail. PM me for the address.

Post Subject: Valentine's Day Craft Swap
Hi everyone,
I just participated in my first ever craft swap for the holidays and it was a blast. I'd like to organize a Valentine's Swap.
Here is how it works:
1. E-mail me if you are interested by January 21. On the 21st I will e-mail everyone with the name of the person who was selected for them.
2. By February 10th you send your person a crafty Valentine's Day package -- it can be pretty much anything -- homemade Valentine's, soap, candles, pink and red stuff, heart iron-on patches, yummy bath products...you get the idea!
Everyone will get a fun package filled with crafty love!
E-mail me at stellagal78@yahoo.com to sign up; please signm up ONLY if you can commit and follow through - it would be really sad if someone didn't get a package who signed up. Also, please be sure that you can send your package BY FEBRUARY 10TH so it is received in time for the Big Day.

Sounds good - what does that involve?
I'm only new to the whole crafty scene - I only recently discovered that I have some kind of creative talent, albeit a pretty basic one, but I'm looking to improve it :D
