What is a Cricut "Make Something You Love Event" Like?


On August 21st crafters gathered at the Bridgeport Art Center for Cricut’s Make Something You Love Event. There were two sessions available morning or afternoon. Each session had more than 200 attendees.

Can you image what effort it took to get all the necessary equipment and people here from Utah for this one-day event? It was really amazing to see the behind the scenes of this event.

When the first class was finished, everyone broke for either lunch or dinner depending upon which session was attended. There was a variety of different boxed meals to choose from including vegetarian and gluten free. Then the crafters went to their second class.

The Cricut Facebook live booth was available for those interested in recording their own video. Each attendee was given a “bingo card” to fill out and turn in for an Illinois pin and entry to the giveaway items.

Each table could accommodate five crafters. There was a Cricut Maker and a Singer Sewing Machine at each table.

 

I signed up to volunteer at the event. I worked in the sewing classroom. The day was long and I was tired at the end but I fully enjoyed my time with Cricut. I haven’t taught in a classroom for a few years and I realized I missed the experience.

As you can imagine with hosting such an event away from your home turf, there were a few bumps along the way. But in the end, I would choose to do it all over again. If I were asked to volunteer at another Cricut event, I would jump at the chance! I don't know if all the events will be the same but I know they will all be a great experience!

 


happy and exhausted!
