π¨ Exciting News: Introducing Weekly Crop & Connect Sessions!
Your New Favorite Saturday Tradition Starts October 18th - With Giveaways & Special Deals!
Mark your calendars, crafty friends! We're thrilled to announce something we've been working on behind the scenes: Weekly Crop & Connect Sessions - our virtual livestream crops complete with fun giveaways and exclusive product deals!
ποΈ Save the Date: Our First Crop & Connect is Coming Soon!
When: Saturday, October 18th
Time: 10am PST - 1pm PST (or longer if we're having too much fun to stop!)
Where: Right here in our Craft & Connect community
Bonus: Fun giveaways throughout the crop + special product deals you won't want to miss!
π What Makes Crop & Connect So Special?
Fun Giveaways During Every Crop!
Get ready for some exciting surprises! During each Crop & Connect session, we'll be hosting giveaways throughout the session. The longer you stay and participate, the more chances you have to win! (But don't worry - even if you can only pop in for a short time, you'll still be eligible for prizes!)
Exclusive Product Deals - Crop & Connect Attendees Only!
Here's something extra special: we'll be announcing exclusive product deals available ONLY to those who join our Crop & Connect sessions! Think:
π° Flash sales on popular products
π° Crop-only discounts on kits and supplies
π° Bundle deals you won't find anywhere else
π° Early access to new releases
These deals will only be available during the crop or for a very limited time afterward, so you definitely don't want to miss out!
No Apps, No Hassle, Just Pure Crafting Fun
Here's the best part about the technical side: we're using Skool's brand new livestream feature, which means:
β
No additional apps to download
β
No extra logins to remember
β
No confusing Zoom links to hunt for
Simply log into our Craft & Connect community, click the red notification at the top of the page, and you're in! It's that easy.
Camera On or Off - Your Choice
Feeling camera-shy? No problem! You have complete control:
- Turn your camera ON to connect face-to-face with fellow crafters
- Keep it OFF and participate via chat
- Switch between the two whenever you like
The game-changer? We can actually talk to each other live while we craft, rather than just typing. It's like having your crafty besties right there at your table!
