🎨 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!
🗓️ 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!
🎁 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:
💰 Flash sales on popular products
💰 Crop-only discounts on kits and supplies
💰 Bundle deals you won't find anywhere else
💰 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:
✅ No additional apps to download
✅ No extra logins to remember
✅ 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!
💫 Why You'll Love Crop & Connect
More Than Just Crafting Together
Every Crop & Connect session will include:
- 🎁 Giveaways throughout the session
- 💵 Special product deals announced live
- 🎨 Creative inspiration from fellow crafters
- 💬 Real-time conversations about techniques and tips
- 🌟 Fun, engaging atmosphere with fellow crafters
Flexibility is Key
Life happens, and we get it! That's why you can:
- Join at ANY time during the crop (late arrivals welcome and still eligible for giveaways!)
- Leave whenever you need to (no pressure to stay the whole time)
- Pop in just to say hello if you're not feeling crafty that day
- Bring your current project or start something new
The More, The Merrier!
This isn't just for community members - invite your crafty friends! Whether they're scrapbookers, card makers, or paper craft enthusiasts, everyone is welcome to join the fun and be eligible for giveaways!
