Bringing the heart of the Labs to a town near you!!

I'm more than excited to share with all of you how one street team is bringing the heart of the Labs to their own town and encourage each of you to follow their lead and bring the Labs to your town too!
Heidi of Designchic and Danielle of PreciousPups of the Michigan Etsy Street Team organized a skill sharing team event in Michigan open to everyone! They named it a "Make-Out Session," since they would be leading skill shares and making things the whole time as Heidi explains, "yesterday we had a "make-out session". Taryn from TalkingSquid did an embroidery demo and Danielle did a glass etching demo. It was a lot of fun, (and) I'm hoping that we can do them on a monthly basis."
The ladies promoted the event all over the Etsy forums and in the area to spread the word about the event. What a great way to bring what we are doing here at the Brooklyn Labs to their own area! This is exactly the type of initiative we want you all to be taking with your teams and expanding the Etsy love all over! I KNOW lots of you have been wanting an Etsy Labs in your own area, and this is the perfect way to bring the concept there within your own team!
Please check out the rest of the awesome photos from this session on flickr: here.

Thanks Heidi and Danielle...keep up the great work! Have you been taking initiatives with your team and setting up events in your area? We'd really love to hear about them and show them off as examples for other teams! Send me your info to labs@etsy.com.
