Chicago Craft Social Photos

The last Craft Social on June 18th was a big hit!  Crafters seemed to be having loads of fun, making friends and inspiring each other.  This is exactly what Craft Social is all about.

Here are a few photos of the night captured by Jennifer Gaudreau of Jennifer Kathryn Photography of the great night of crafty fun everyone was having.

Craft Social Makes National News

Well, it appears that we have hit the big time now!  ABC News has just picked up the story from the Associated Press about our very own Craft Social.  We couldn't be more excited to see our crafty event making headlines.  I'm sure this news will hit many more cities and get people even more interested in Craft Social.

You can read the entire article online, Craft Socials Turn Do-It-Yourselfing Into a Party.

Thank you to everyone who has come out to a social, supported us with sponsorships or even just told their friends about it.  You are the reason that Craft Social is becoming bigger and better!
