One step closer!We're going to the chapel. 🎶
Celebrating our first big step!
Our offer was accepted!
And here it is the chapel in Green Lane across from the firehouse.
Lots of things that still have to fall in place, but for right now...
WE CELEBRATE!
(A little ironic that we're celebrating with wine. But, it is red. It's kind of in keeping with the fact that our offer on a church was accepted on a Sunday. And it The Dreaming Tree wine which sums up how we feel right now.)
Thank you for all the support, prayers, and good vibes sent! đź’• We are humbled and very, very appreciative. đź’•

Welcome Bill Franklin of Soul Man Jewelry to the Crafters For Life family. We will sell his jewelry at our events. If you're lucky, you can meet Bill when you stop by our tent.
So nice to meet Bill tonight!
Love it!Noah is getting the grains measured for our brew day! 🍺
It's steamy, but we don't care!
We'll brew anytime and everywhere.
Here is the page of the soon-to-be brewing company who made that great IPA I posted earlier. Like their page so you can keep up with their progress. We need as many jobs created for special needs adults as possible. Plus, I want to make sure I have a constant supply of that IPA!
I feel very privileged that Maggie Whiet - Autism Love: Mosaics & Brewing​ gave me a preview from an amazing new company that is about to launch called Perkiomen Valley Brewery. This craft Imperial IPA was brewed by a young man with autism and his parents. I can't wait for them to get their brewery up and running because this was a fantastic IPA! Let's all push Maggie and her family to move as quickly as possible so we all can enjoy their true talents.
love it....... I need that beer at the shop.... We need a beer tasting night...
Very cool! I will have to let my son know who loves craft beers!
Is this in the Collegeville area? Would love to help spread the word if it is in my neck of the woods!
Jenn Casper- maybe this can be added to the WPH IPA menu??
Awesome đź‘Ź

Everyone involved in Crafters For Life is very proud of what we have created and where we are trying to go. Yesterday at Skimmer in Sea Isle City we had yet another reason to be proud. Dr. Joseph Gall from The US Army at West Point presented Crafters For Life with the Army Community Service coin for our service "above and beyond". Wow! We are very honored to have the recognition and support of Dr. Gall and his team at West Point who service the the special needs family members in military families - EFMP - Exceptional Family Members Program.
That is wonderful!!! Nice job!!
Congratulations to the whole crew! Well deserved!
Dr. Gall and his team are true professionals with big hearts.
Very nice coins. You get those in Itaewon??
Well deserved! Congrats!
Very Nice!
We will have our tent once again tomorrow at Skimmer in Sea Isle City NJ. We will be setup between 39th and 40th streets on the promenade. Be sure to check us out!
What time does skimmer start?
Number of adults with special needs requiring services has doubled in the last 17 years - it will increase 7 times in the next 17 years - how will the government fund this increase? That is why Crafters For Life does not rely on government funding - we rely on purchases from you!

Julie did a great job working the tent tonight. No surprise that the coasters and greeting cards with her photographs were the top selling products.

<3 Tom and I are excited and terrified all at the same time. Noah and Jonah are all chill about the whole thing. There are so many times where they're the ones who show us how life should be done. Thanks for sharing us!
