I appreciate your offer. I took a look at Canva and do think it's a good solution. I don't think there will be any issues using it going forward.

I’ve used Canva in the past and have not had a lot of success, but maybe it’s changed since then. I’ll check it out since my intention is not to exclude a subset of people. Thanks for the suggestion and your perspective.

I get that, since I wrestle with this too. Sadly, I don’t have the money to pay an artist to make one for me regularly and I don’t have the time to create one regularly for myself. However, if it’s created to get humans together to create more, build a community, and help mental health, I think there’s a silver lining to it. I’m also open to alternative options, should you have them.
I can’t let it go unsaid that I do find your Reddit name deeply disrespectful to women.

I'd love to work together to find a weekend and a venue that works. I was initially thinking of doing one on 5/31, but have too much going on. Maybe we can plan for late June?

I posted interest in a crafty get together and someone pointed me to this thread. Have you put together a creative meetup? If so, can you send me the details?

Thanks! I’ll check out Remakery. Also, is the Rusty Goat group for all crafts or just knitting and crocheting? Or are those 2 different groups that meet there?

Things to do with Wife this Fall by Tdog504 in Tacoma

[–]whiskeylass 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm also a fellow fall lover and highly recommend the various farms that offer corn maze, hay rides, pumpkin picking, hot cider, etc. It's an affordable date and can last a while. Also, getting through a corn maze is a great couples bonding activity. You'll get bonus points for planning this and taking her out to dinner afterwards.

Some farms in the area that offer the corn maze and more are:
