Coming to TEXAS - and other fun events too!

It's only November 10th and I already feel like the month has passed! That's because I have a list of fun stops in the next few weeks.

1. Michaels Store Grand Opening: Denton, TEXAS!
My event time: Sunday, November 16, noon-3 p.m.
1800 S Loop 288, Ste 106
Denton TX 76205
(940) 891-0726

The crew at Michaels has been so cool about helping Duncan Enterprises and myself build the Crafty Chica brand. Not only did they do the special promotion/debut of it in 140 stores this summer, they've invited Patrick and I to come out for an appearance to the new Denton store grand opening this Sunday!

Friday and Saturday we'll be in Dallas (need ideas of fun events/art festivals, sightseeing, eateries, hangouts!) and on Sunday we'll be at the new Denton store from noon-3 . The cool thing about this is one of the "model" stores, it is all super-fly chic and laid out like one big colorful art studio. We're really excited to be there to celebrate it's launch. Come see us!



2. Felt Club!
Event: Sunday, November 16th
FELT CLUB: HOLIDAY 2008
Sunday, NOVEMBER 16, 11am-7pm
@ Shrine Auditorium Expo Center
700 W. 32nd St., LA CA 90007

My friend, Jenny Ryan, sure knows how to throw a craft party and this is the big shebang of the season! I won't be there in body, but I will be there in spirit at the Quarry Books booth. I'm donating a prize for the raffle and they will have copies of my book on hand! This is by far the biggest Felt Club event ever, and you can read all the updates and crafty opps HERE.



3. Tempe IKEA 4th Anniversary Celebration
My event time: Monday, November 17th, 4-7 p.m.
IKEA Tempe
2110 W. IKEA Way
Tempe, AZ 85284
office: 480-785-8209

I remember when IKEA first opened in Tempe and I attended the press opening. I was beyond awestruck. Never in my craziest dreams did I think I would someday be asked to demo at such a huge event as the one this weekend! There will be a hecka lotta sales going on and on Monday I'll be camped out in the lighting department, showing how to pretty-up a chandelier with beads. (Not that one, a different one).
