The wonderful volunteers of Crafting Comfort will be set up in the Lobby of Shop Crafty, tomorrow April 16th, from 10am to 5pm.  They will be running our GIGANTIC Charity Raffle - featuring items donated by all of our vendors.

They'll also be set up doing $1 make-and-takes of beautiful fabric flowers (pictured at right).  All of the proceeds from the raffle and make-and-takes will benefit Crafting Comfort.  Purchase your tickets to Shop Crafty online now - the pre-show special of two for $5 ends tonight!  A portion of ticket sales also go to support this charity.
