Suffering From Craft Show Withdrawal?

Are you a self described craft show junkie? Are you suffering from withdrawal because most craft shows have been canceled for 2020? 

There is a solution!

Craft shows have gone virtual. Imagine shopping from the comfort of your own home, not having to battle crowds or jockey for position at a booth. You won't have to worry about social distancing, mask wearing, hand sanitizing, air purifying. Sounds heavenly, doesn't it? An added bonus in shopping these virtual shows is that you are purchasing some very special gifts while supporting small businesses who have been hit very hard this year because their main sources of income have been canceled.

Cruisin' Creations and many other very talented artists are participating in the following virtual shows. Please visit by copying and pasting the web address into your web browser.
