🎯 [DIY & Crafting Club Meetup 02 - Thunder Bay Canada] Second Successful Meetup! 🫂

Hey Wonderful Community!

Im really happy to say my second meetup went way better then I expected! I couldnt be anymore happier then how everything turned out!

It looks like International Women’s Day was busy around the world with Robotime meetup’s, Im so happy to say I was one of them!

The meetup started at 2pm, I personally got there at 1:50pm (almost late!) because I dropped my energy drink and had it explode all over me. I had everything set up just before 2pm and that’s when people started strolling in.

Drinks, snacks and everyone builds were at the front for everyone to grab! We all introduced ourselves when everyone was settled and thats when the awkward silence turned into a wave of pure joy from everyones voices. Once the creative feeling started, everyone was having fun!

People working on the same build would work together and thats what built a lot of friendships that I dont think anyone was expecting.

One item I will be remembering for my next meetup is Acatone, this time someone glued there fingers together. We all had a good giggle, including the beautiful lady that it happened too! Thankfully the place I rented was more prepped then I was in that aspect! :heart_hands: Other then that, everything went smoothly.

My meetup was 3 hours long and we got 5 builds finished! 1 Eiffel Tower, 1 Blossom Cart and 3 Sunflower Frames! Everyone else finished there builds at home, I was receiving photos and videos of everyone’s builds all night!

One of the most rewarding things about these events are when you see someone who didnt believe in thereselves finish a build and you get to see that proud smile on there face, I was able to see so many that it almost put me in tears. (I wasn’t crying in front of no one lol!)

Here’s the gallery of photos I took, I wish I took more but we all were having to much fun!

Everyone noticed I was taking photos so everyone got there photo taken :blush: Such a gorgeous group of ladies! :heart_eyes:

I tried taking video content for the first time :blush: but not enough for a cool video :sweat_smile: So I used what I had and made this :heart_hands:

I definitely know what to do for my next meetup! :blush::blush::heart_hands::heart_hands:

Concentration is key!! (With a bit of chat chatting always! :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:)

4 participant had to leave a bit early but 3 were able to finish there builds! Im so proud of them! :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

The meetup was a giant success in my opinion! Everyone walked in as strangers but came out as friends :blush: I love it when that happens! Almost every person asked to come to another event or where to buy a kit, I was even sent someone’s order because they had to keep building! Im so happy I can share my passion and creativity with people in my community. Thank you @Robotime for making this entire meetup a reality! And thank you for letting me host these, I truly am honored!

The one memory I’ll remember the most is when all 11 of us said “Robotime!” before the group photo! It makes me tear up even now!


5pm came way to fast! We all wanted to keep building!

I loved this group so much, I’m happy I was able to become friends with every single one of you (expect the one in the bright blue shirt, that’s my mom :joy:)

Side note: Right after the meetup, I hosted my great grandmas birthday! She turned 90!

Thank you for reading my long post! :heart_hands::smiling_face_with_three_hearts:
