Oh yeah...

And Buc-ees is just around the corner about  2.3 miles away. If you haven't been to a Buc-ees, you have to experience it.

Yes! There will be a swap table. Bring your unwanted items to drop on the swap table. And feel free to check out the goodies from everyone else. You never know what you may find. And you may make someone's day with your goodies.

In what has now become a Crafty Girl Tradition, you will be challenged to make a small project. More details coming soon. We'll see if you are up for the challenge!

During the day we ask every one to respect those around you including to use headphones so that music is not a distraction to others. But each night we have reserved time for all The Crafty Girls to let their hair down a little. Friday and Saturday nights after 9:00 pm are reserved to allow some time to crank up the music, kick off your heels and have a good time. A little music. A little dancing. And whole lot of late night power-crafting!

As is common for convention center policies, full outside meals are not permitted in the convention center. Personal snacks and drinks are permitted. There will not be a snack table. However, you are welcome to share any snacks with those around your table.

Complimentary ice water service will be provided in the event area. Feel free to bring your Tervis, Yeti, or other such beverage cup to stay hydrated during your intense paper crafting.
