CRAFTLAND 2009 application now available - and big big big news!!‏

Tuesday, July 28th, 2009

We have a trifecta of announcements for you. While it should be an equilateral triangle of news, the third one really puts this over into isoceles territory. We’re talking obtuse isosceles news-worthiness, people. But no skipping ahead.

It is with great pleasure that we announce to you that the 8th Annual Craftland Show application is now available online! Yes!! We cordially invite you and all your crafty friends to apply here: http://www.craftlandshow.com/application09

We’ve posted it a little bit early especially for you because, get this - if you submit your application by this Friday, July 31st (which is the day before it goes live for the rest of the world), you will be entered in a raffle to win an incredible Million Dollar* Crafty Inspiration Prize Pack including two prints by Jen Corace, released by Tiny Showcase, and made especially for Craftland 2008 and 2007 shows, as well as a copy of Maura Madden’s new book Crafternoon, and Death Vessel’s Nothing is Precious Enough For Us CD out on Sub Pop to keep you entertained while you craft.
