Kristi, a So Cal gal has formed a Crafty Cash Mob plan and has had her first event at 2 So Cal paper crafting shops--with phenomenal results.
The next event will be at Pages From the Heart & Scrap N Yap, both in Monrovia on Saturday, Sept. 15-- all day. It's Simple! Just bring a $20.00 bill and spend it all and more on your favorite Crafty Supplies!
Scrap 'n Yap is located at 830 S. Myrtle in Monrovia. Phone 626 357-2727. Right around the corner on Colorado is Pages from the Heart at 137 E. Colorado Blvd. Phone- 626-358-5334. You will be entered in a drawing just by dropping by.
The general idea is to encourage people to go into small, locally owned businesses and spend their money, en masse , to give the business owner a little bit of economic stimulus. We'll help businesses grow, we'll make people happy, we'll get stuff for ourselves and have a great time.
The Cash Mob concept was started in Buffalo, NY in August 2011 and has spread to many other communities. This is the first Crafty Cash Mob in the US. Thanks to Kristi.
