Beading sweepstakes and video classes, from old friends and new!

Posted Fri, Sep 28 2012 9:35 AM by Stacy Werkheiser

When I first discovered Etsy.com, we became fast friends -- and we remain BFFs to this day! This week, I met another new friend with some cool beady offerings I think you're going to love.

Please meet my new friend, CraftArtEdu.com.

The first thing you need to know about CraftArtEdu is that they are currently running a jewelry-making sweepstakes, and it ends this Sunday, September 30. Why should you rush to enter? Let's just survey the prizes:

The Grand Prize includes a $125 gift card to CraftArtEdu (read on to find out what to spend it on), a $150 gift card to Rio Grande, and a pair of custom prescription CraftOptics glasses. We reviewed those glasses in Bead&Button, and they're pretty nifty!
Each of nine Second Place Winners will get $50 to CraftArtEdu and $150 to Rio Grande.
Each of 20 Third Place Winners will get one free video class of their choice at CraftArtEdu.

The Third Place Prize reveals the main purpose of CraftArtEdu -- it's a place to watch jewelry-making videos and classes taught by names you know and love, like Margie Deeb, Maggie Meister, Sherry Serafini, Jean Campbell, and other old friends. Here's a bit more about CraftArtEdu I borrowed from their latest press release:

"Once you purchase a class, you can watch it at your leisure -- start, stop, and replay as needed. Each class you take is stored in your Class Library, and you can go back days, weeks, even months later to watch the class again and again.... The average cost of a class is $28, and many available for less than $25. You can also sample a class from the collection of free tutorials."

So if you're feeling friendly, please say hi to CraftArtEdu!
