Craft shows, you win some you lose some.

So the craft show didn't go as well as I had hoped.  It is just the way it goes.  We did have fun and we aren't out money so that is a good thing.
 I thought I would share pictures of our booth.  I thought it looked pretty great if I do say so myself.

Craft Show week hectic running and last minute crafts

Bookmarks made from Hymns printed on Card stock and then painted.
Sorry I haven't posted this week, it has been a  busy busy week.  It is Craft Show week.  The week before a craft is always a busy week, hectic and crazy week.  If you are like me, you run around crazy pricing and packing up.  Not to mention the last minute panic that you don't have enough, so you run around frantically creating more just in case.   Yes even I do this every show and I have been doing this for 20 years.  This time around I did bookmarks from hymns, pebble magnets, crazy Christmas sweater jewelry, and more.  Honestly no matter how many times you do shows you always get a little frantic and worry.  I worry a lot.  This is how Tammy (Friend and craft show conspirator) and I get our Christmas money.  We love to craft and using it to make a little extra money makes sense.  I thought I would share a few of my last minute projects with you. 

Glass pebble magnets 156 in fact.

Gift card holders.

Crazy Christmas sweater necklace.  It is really beautiful.

Snow man ornaments Tammy made them and I painted them.

A display I made for jewelry and small items that get lost on the tables.   An Antique Samsonite
suitcase, made to stand open and  hooks to hold necklaces.  Tin bins for other small items and I made
Necklace stands out of cardboard and printed burlap.
