It didn’t take long to get this Minnesota girl to say yes to Be Crafty Arizona. Back in November Cole, Heather, Katy, Lesley and Kate and I started planning the 2nd traveling BE CRAFTY workshop. So much love was poured into this event.
The amazing and talented Lesley created our chalk wall backdrop. We couldn’t have done this workshop without our amazing sponsors Barberry and Lace, Cupcake Mag and Junk in the Trunk Vintage Market. Hello apparel made sure we were all in style by sending each of us one of their screen-printed t-shirts.
At the staircase leading to the workshop, each girl had a swag bag full of handmade awesomeness. At the top were giant balloons from sucre + confetti. Faces beamed with excitement as we meet the girls at the top of the staircase. Smiles and hugs were received as introductions were made.
Each bag was hand stamped by heather and strung from the side was a ruffled tag, mini honeycomb ball from shop sweet lulu ( 10% off with code : CRAFTY) and a felt flower name tag made by Cole. Inside each bag was a list of all the sponsors and their Instagram links. We love instagram here at BE CRAFTY. For more photos from the event search our hastags #becraftyworkshop and #becraftyworkshopaz.
Our swag bags were filled with so much awesomeness from some of the best handmade shops. We love supporting handmade and hope you find some new favorite shops to support.
