Craftaway Extended Stay VIP ticket

There is a VERY small change to the "EXTENDED STAY" option this year. As a "Thank you" for extending your stay, you will get some sort of small wood cutout/kit that you can possibly use on the extended weekend!

I wrestled with this last year and never made the change, but this year it's something I just had to do, so that I can continue to host the extended stay. There is a small $20 "ticket" for those that want to stay through the weekend and do the touristy things with us!

The first year, I didn't realize how expensive it would be to host the extended stay, so in reality I should have been doing this to begin with. But after I didn't do it the first year, I felt weird charging for it the 2nd year. But being the smart business woman I am, last year I tracked everything for the extended stay and it cost almost $600 for me to host that weekend (Extending the car rental, gas, going out to eat, activities, parking, etc) It's as if I'M on vacation too LOL! So I just want you to know that I swear this is not a "money making" move, its simply just to cut some of the expense of the Extended Stay so that I am able to continue doing it!

$20 per person wont come anywhere near the entire cost, it's just to make it a bit more manageable for me! I wanted to make the extended option low enough where it wouldn't effect anybody being able to stay, but high enough where it would help out with expenses. I am trying to figure out some sort of small wood cutout/kit that all the extended stayers will get as a "thank you" and maybe even something you can do over the weekend.

I know that I don't have to explain myself or justify, I just really don't want anyone to think I'm being greedy because I'm all of a sudden charging for the extended weekend.

 I wanted you to understand where this change is coming from and know that I LOVE and APPRECIATE every single one of you more than words can possibly say and I can't wait for our third annual CRAFTAWAY (not-craftcation!)!

 The extended stay is an AMAZING weekend with a much smaller more intimate group, where you really get to bond and see all that San Diego has to offer. It's 100000%%%%%%%%% worth extending your trip through the weekend if you can! 

Countdown to Craftaway is ON!
