APRIL 2010: 4th Annual Crafty Chica Art Cruise!

Thanks to Jim West and the shiny team at ScrapMap.com, all the details are set in place for the 4th Annual Crafty Chica Art Cruise!

Special guest: superstar podcaster and savvy crafter, Sister Diane of CraftyPod.com! She will be reporting from our event and sharing some of her amazing crafty energy!

I took the feedback from the last cruise (yay, we added one more night to the package!) and put together a fun 6-day artsy adventure. Here are all the details! What I love the most is that there is only a $50 deposit. And if you sign up now, you can make monthly payments of $75! We are also including a special "Crafty Chica" t-shirt that we can all wear on the ship during the cruise!
