The 3rd annual Vancouver Maker Faire event this weekend and we have two pairs of weekend passes to giveaway (valued at $50/pair)!

So excited for this weekend! With the scheduled packing up and moving of apartments on Friday, I am going to need an excuse to escape the craziness!! Checking out craft ideas, getting some great, locally-made new home items, and making a terrarium, so that we’ll at least have one living plant in the new place that I should be unable to kill with my “black thumb”, and just being among amazingly talented artisans will be a welcome respite! Not to mention, I may have to pick up some yummy treats to thank my bf for all his heavy lifting! The only thing that could make it better would be winning a weekend pass! Thanks!
Oooooooooh! pick me, pick me, pick me!!!! Pretty? pretty puhleeeeaaaaasssssseeeee!!!!
Would love to check it out! I’m always inspired and amazed by all the local talent in Vancouver.
Can’t wait! :) :) :)
Oh yes please! I live a couple of blocks away and would love to pick up some gifts for my family!!! Going to TO. to visit them in July!
Wow has it been a year already? Sounds like tons of fun every time you post! Can’t wait to hear your follow up :)
I missed this event last year and would LOVE to check it out this year!
I fall in love with Got Craft last December, since then I’m a huge fan and I follow them in every single event…
I’ve been looking forward to this event for a while. I’ve been to the past ones and loved it!
I was already looking forward to it, but now that I now there will be artisan caramels, there’s no way you can keep me away!
We are looking forward to the faire!
Thought we’d be out of town but are here, would really like to take this in, our FIRST! :)
No longer out of town this weekend, would love to take this in, our FIRST FAIRE! :)
I’ve missed this the last few times it was running so I’m super-excited to finally get to experience the whole thing.
I had no idea Got Craft would be at Maker Faire. Eee! Excited. :)
I’d love to see all the great vendors at Maker Faire.

Am so intrigued by this- especially after the wonderful presentation at the last Pecha Kucha.
Would love to check this out!
We are planning to squeeze Maker Faire/Got Craft? in between Mandarin lessons, two birthday parties and the kids symphony!
