A great big craftabulous THANKS goes out to Realtor Shannon Witters, for providing our event with a fabulous seasonal swag for our front entry, this weekend. We haven't seen it yet, it will arrive on Friday, just in time to provide a fresh, fragrant, and fabulous welcome for all our guests, over the weekend.
Shannon is an expert in local real estate, and whether you are buying or selling, she knows how to make a house shine. Thanks Shannon for ensuring that our event will shine as well!

Barbe Saint John will not only have a fabulous spread of loot to sell at Holidaze Craft Craze, but she has also provided some wonderful freebies for attendees, as well.
One lucky door prize winner will receive these sweet glass cherry earrings - woo hoo!
And a couple dozen attendees will luck out when they receive their goody bags, because they just might include a coupon for 20% off anything on Barbe's website, and - who could ask for more - PIXIE STIX!
But she wasn't content to leave her freebie offerings at that ~ Barbe also provided a wonderful group of Craftster magnets with the funkiest knit doggy on 'em that you have ever seen. These are going into goody bags too!
Remember, all attendees of the Holidaze Craft Craze will receive a fabulous goody bag full of freebies, and will be eligible to win a door prize, as well. No purchase necessary!
Good luck, and see you there!
Big 'ol crafty thanks go out to Charmaine at Kutchicoo, who shipped us 30 adorable little buttons for our goodie bags.
Charmaine has a fabulous shop on etsy, full of hand crafted goodness.
"My wares are constructed by hand and with optimum fondness therefore very much human so they're prone to bouts of individuality," she says.
Join us at Holidaze Craft Craze, and you may just receive one of her wonderful little button cards in your goodie bag!
Thanks Charmaine ~
You rock!
The ZNE Store is pleased to annouce that they will be making available Live Pink Gifts of Art for those whose lives have been impacted by breast cancer, at the Holidaze Craft Craze event.
Live Pink is a program that ZNE put together in September of 2006, created out of the desire to do something on a large scale in response to one of their founding members being diagnosed with breast cancer. Since that time, ZNE has mailed out free and anonymous gifts of original and limited edition artwork and hand crafted gifts to hundreds of recipients.
Any person whose life has been touched by Breast Cancer - be they a current patient, survivor, family member, caregiver or other loved one of a survivor or someone who has lost their battle with the disease - is eligible to receive a gift of art.
Artwork is entirely donated from ZNE Members and other artists interested in supporting the program. The program is run on the honor system, ZNE trusts that those who ask for a gift of art are eligible to recieve the artwork, and we mail it out as it comes in.
A new batch of of donated artwork was received during October, Breast Cancer Awareness month. ZNE will be working to update the Live Pink Galleries to show this artwork, over the next couple of weeks - and any person who requests a Live Pink Gift either for themselves, or someone else they know - during the upcoming Holidaze event - will receive one, while supplies last.
So, if you or anyone you know deserves a Live Pink Gift of Art, please stop by our event. There is no purchase or obligation in receiving the art. We don't add you to a special mailing list, and no donation is requested in exchange for the gift. Most of the art is ATC sized (2 1/2" x 3 1/2") and it is a small expression of the fact that while we may not know you, we do know that we are all in the fight against Breast Cancer together, and we care.
Pacific Coast Mestieri has received an incredible bunch of goody bag prizes and a FABULOUS Door Prize donation from Pleasanton's Dinner My Way.
Have you heard of Dinner My Way? At the Dinner My Way kitchen you can prepare family style meals that serve six in a short amount of time. Dinner MyWay employees do all the prep work. All you do is assemble the meals the way your family would like them best. Plus, the staff is there if you have any questions and they even clean up the mess. When you're finished, you have entrees to take home that are perfect for your busy lifestyle. It couldn't be easier.
We have received literally hundreds of $25 coupons from Dinner my way for our goody bags, and a door prize donation of ~one fully paid party for SIX participants! ~ This door prize will be called at the end of our event, so everyone who attends over the two days will have a chance to win. The winner will be able to invite five friends (a total of six people) to a special Dinner My Way event, just for them. Each person will be able to assemble and take home their own meal - enough to feed a family of up to six people! (If you want to assemble more meals while you are there, you may do so at their normal prices, however - the first meal will be FREE and no additional purchase is required unless you want to bring home even more fabulous food!)
This DELICIOUS prize (not including the goody bag donations) is valued at $150!
THANK YOU DINNER MY WAY for putting your money where your mouth is (tee hee!) when it comes to supporting independent artists and the local arts and crafts scene.
YUM!
All attendees of the Holidaze Craft Craze event will be entered to win this door prize. Entries in our door prize drawings are FREE!
Constant supporter of all things artsy and crafty - Claudia Hess of Worthington Gallery West has donated a lovely array of postcards to be added to the free goodie bags for all who attend.
In addition, she donated a box of lovely blank greeting cards - enough that one lucky door prize winner will receive one, each hour, on the hour, from 1:00 - 4:00 on both days.
This is just the beginning of all the freebies and goodies we will have for attendees, so stay tuned to this blog - we'll have more exciting prize previews soon!
The prodcution line has been set up in the ZNE Studios (aka PCM Headquarters) to put together some fun kids goodie bags.
If you have kids with you the weekend of 12.15 & 12/16 ~ go ahead and Bring 'em with you to our event!
Each kid who attends will get a free goodie bag filled with a tiny toy animal, the requ
isite goody bag candy (a candy cane!) and best of all, a tag to color complete with an opportunity to have their art showcased on our PCM website home, in their very own kids gallery!
We've designed some fun tag art, ready for coloring and decorating! My kids tested out the tags for their "color-ability" and deemed them A-Ok!
RJ found that the tag background meant that the image was ideal for coloring, even on the rug. (Yikes! Watch that marker, kid!)
Abigail enjoyed using a wide variety of colors, and in the end decided on adding some stripes to match the retro theme.
Their finished artwork serves as the header for our new PCM Kids Gallery, which can be found here.
I am so proud to show off their work:
So remember, if you have kids - don't let that deter you from attending the PCM Holidaze Craft Craze event! We'll have a goody bag waiting just for them, complete with their own tag to color - and if they return it via mail (or an image of it via email) to PCM - we'll add it to our online gallery, and they can let everyone know that PCM is crafty, and they are crafty too!
(Complete instructions for returning the tags to PCM are included in the kids goody bags. No purchase necessary. Goody bags are free to all kids attending (*with a parent or guardian) the Holidaze Craft Craze event!
