Are you a maker of things? If so, this week we're asking you to show us your crafts and hobbies! How do you flex your creative muscle during that precious leisure time? What special skills do you have (outside of producing fantastic events, of course, and if that is your super-power, bring us some of your most creative event photos!)
Is there a woodworker among you? Do you knit, sew, paint, write music, dance, sing, garden like a fiend, blow glass, love photography, weave baskets, refinish boats, build furniture? Show us a little about you, tell us how your handiwork can leave a legacy and you just might win a 3-night stay from our host! Don't be shy! With that fabulous prize at stake, there's never been a better time to show off a little!
And remember, the first five at 3:55 to log into the call (no earlier than 3:55pm) will win a special gift from our hosts, and Kelly McAlister will be on hand to gift someone with a fresh pair of Maui Jims!
