I hope this is okay to post here but I am really excited to be one of 14 stores that is participating in a very unique crafty weekend! Maker Mania is a one-of-a-kind weekend-long event brought to you by 14 local craft stores across North America! These 14 stores are all selling a kit full of products and all kinds of project tutorials to go with it! On September 12 and 13, each store owner will go LIVE in a Private Facebook Group to showcase project ideas, techniques and inspiration, using this exclusive bundle of products themed for your holiday crafting. You’re sure to pick up techniques, tips and tricks, ideas, new products and more that you want to try out! Each store has committed to a minimum of 2 projects so you will be getting at least 28 tutorials!! If you want more information - my store is in Alberta Canada and you can purchase the kit here (free shipping in Canada) - MAKER MANIA KITBut I can also direct you to a store that may be closer to you - participating stores are in Ontario, BC, California, Iowa, Wisconsin, Ohio, Florida, Washington, Connecticut, Missouri, and Arizona! |

Is there a list of participating stores?
I’m most interested in Arizona but I’m curious to see which stores in other states are participating too.

I'm also interested to see what other stores are participating. You listed my state, but not which store. I Googled Maker Mania 2020 but sadly I'm not seeing much. Some of you are doing a really good job of keeping it a secret! Can you give us more info? Is there a FaceBook page set up already? |

so it looks like the kit is the same one, just purchased from your 'local' store... then the tutorials are all things made with the same kit? is that the idea? It's a neat concept, but I agree with msliz; more publicity for the event would probably be a good thing. eta: it's a Christmas-themed kit, which I guess makes sense, but I'm not big on Christmas crafting so it's not a huge loss for me. |

I would love to know what the Washington store is? I also googled and could not find anything.

My LSS in Iowa is part of this, but they only had 29 kits to sell according to their Facebook video this morning. I'm watching part of the video now to see what this is all about & according to one of the comments the kit sold out before the live video ended--they only started talking about the kit & the concept with less than 10 minutes before the end of the video!
It's a neat idea, but not for $50, especially since it's a Christmas kit (for me personally).

Thank you! ...and no worries—Peoria is in the Phoenix area, so I get it. It’s close enough that I could go, assuming this pandemic thing ever ends. |

The San Jose one is already sold out too, at least the virtual one is sold out. You can do in store but I won't be doing that.

Sorry everyone, I was away on holidays! We will likely be doing this again so stay tuned  As for the kit, it is mostly Christmas but lots of the stores have done projects that are not Christmas. We don't have a web page as each store is doing the advertising on their own page but maybe we can do it for the future. Each store has the same kit but are creating their own projects - the idea is that you can create the ones you like with the kit or even with your own products at home (so it doesn't have to be Christmas). Currently almost all our stores are sold out - Florida (Everything Scrapbook and Stamps) and Connecticut (Papercraft Clubhouse) both have 2 left I believe. The stores that are participating: CANADA: Scrap Addicts - Edmonton AB Clipper Street - Langley BC Crafty Capers - Nanaimo BC Papercrafter's Workshop - Stoufville ON USA Urban Papercrafter - Edmonds WA Creative Escape - Los Gatos CA Winneconne Crafts - Winneconne WI Picture This - Eau Claire WI Scrapbook N Memories - Harrisonville MO Scraps of Love - Peoria and Sun City West AZ Legacy Paper Arts - Powell OH Memory Bound - Ankeny IA Papercraft Clubhouse - Westbrook CT Everything Scrapbook and Stamps - West Palm Beach FL |
