Register by April 1 for Create ‘n’ Take night at Bethany Blues

March 30, 2019

Sandy Black has been in the business of creation for more than 15 years, crafting everything from home decor to signs and other personal pieces of interest.

Until she retired about three years ago, she traveled to craft shows selling her wares with her business partner and sister. When her husband retired last year, the two of them made their vacation place at the beach into their permanent residence, and now they call Sussex County home.

As they rolled into a new beach-centered lifestyle, they also decided to embark on a new business endeavor together, helping others to enjoy Create ‘n’ Take nights. There, they help people craft their own serving trays, pallet signs, and porch signs.

“These are the types of projects most people want to do on their own, but many people aren’t sure where to start, and there are so many supplies to purchase,” said Black. This is an easy way to introduce oneself to the process of making this style of decoration, and it’s ideal because a lot of the behind-the-scenes work is already done. For example, Black and her husband purchase, cut, sand and prep the wood for the signs as well as creating the personalized stencils.

“I want people to know that this is really easy and fun,” said Black. “People worry they need to have strong artistic ability. You don’t need any experience – no one has to freehand. We walk you through the whole process, and it’s fun and the result is a beautiful product.” Should anything go wrong, Black knows how to help clients fix it as well as how to do touch-ups.

Create ‘n’ Take events are set for 6 to 8:30 p.m., Tuesday, April 8, and Monday, April 22, at Bethany Blues of Bethany Beach, where participants are treated to happy hour pricing all night long. Clients can enjoy a well-rounded evening that includes dinner and drinks.

Sign-ups need to be completed a week in advance so Black can generate customized stencils for each participant. For more information on available packages and events, and to sign up, go to www.thecrabbienook.com.
