BIG News!!

So I have some really BIG news to share.  I got accepted into my FIRST juried craft show!!!!!  I have been accepted in the Handmade Promenade show on May 6^th!  I know, I know, that is the weekend after the Encore Consignment sale!  Wow…I’m going to be doubly busy the next few weeks.  At least I have a week between shows so I can whip up whatever products I need to for the second one because they sold unbelievably well at the consignment sale….right?....I guess I can dream…and hope that will happen.  I guess I can’t complain because I need to make MORE product right?  So this will be a new experience for me, one that I am very much looking forward to.  I feel excited and scared and overwhelmed and a whole bunch of other emotions all at the same time!!  I’m going to be going crazy by the end of the month I think.  This show in Indy will be my first where I have to set up EVERYTHING….from the canopy to the table to my products (because it’s my first outdoor show too!!)  I’m hoping that with me new network of crafting friends that I will be able to hear about many more craft shows and be able to apply to them.  So here’s hoping that all goes well and I sell lots of books!

Getting Ready

Now that I don't have 3 classes I'm taking I finally have time to do some more books!!  YAY!!  And since Spring is in the air that means the Encore Consignment Sale and Handmade Market will soon be here.  And that means I am busy making new products to bring, but don't worry, for those of you who went last year I will have some of the same stuff.  So here is a sneak peek of two of the items that will be new this year.

Pull Tab Book

I'm really super excited about this book, because the applications for it are really endless...as far as your imagination can go!  :)  I plan on having a few books already made for the sale but I also will have them in kits so you can make whatever kind of book you want!  I will also have a sample book made up to show how the book can be used.  This one is a baby girl book.  There is room for one photo for each month (1-12) and then you pull the tab out and there is space for recording the weight and height for that month as well as the "story of the month".  Great way to keep track of all those special moments in that first year but in a simple way!

Matchbook Photo Book

This little book is really fun!  It's a great place to put those wallet size photos you don't know what to do with.  Also great to keep in your purse to show off those cute kids/grandkids of yours!  It holds up to 12 wallet size photos.

Don't forget to come back often to see what else will be making a début at the
