Round 2!!

So, I was asked to be a vendor at another boutique!!! It's on a Saturday this time, so I am hoping it will have a better turnout. I don't know details yet, but I will let you know (in case any of you dears wanna stop by).

It is Tuesday night though, which means it's party time!!!! Let's see what you have to share with us this week!! I still haven't been able to get a picture of Bucky in his pirate costume, little turkey!!!

Uhh . . . something is wrong with inlinkz, the site is too busy or something. I will keep trying!!!

*** It's up and running, sorry it took so long!!! ***

Boutique Pics!!

Hey all!! Hope you are doing GREAT and are getting excited for Halloween!! Bucket's costume is DARLING, but the little turkey doesn't like putting it on . . . uhhhh that could be a problem on Saturday HAHAHA I guess I'll just have to hurry up and force it on him then distract him and he'll be fine. It's weird, he doesn't mind wearing it, just doesn't like putting it on . . .weirdo!!

Anyway, I thought I would show you all the pics of my "booth" at the boutique. I'm still kinda bummed about the outcome, but the next one will be better!!

I was outside and it was one of the best spots, makes me wonder how the other girls did that were inside :(

You can see my subway art luminaries on the back of the table, I'm rather proud of them because I haven't seen anything like them out there YET. Maybe I actually have a semi-original idea ??!!! I'm going to get them on my ETSY store later today, but it's kinda hard to get a good picture of them . . .

I whipped these little blocks up last minute so I could have some more Halloween stuff on hand.

When I was little my mom made us a plate like this one, only it was before the days of cricuts and vinyl, so she used a paint pen . . . we put it out every year and LOVED it. I know Santa cookie plates aren't a new idea, but I have yet to see one that gives a treat to the reindeer. They are the ones doing all the work!!! ;) I'll be putting these in the ETSY store as well.

Super cute and simple Santa blocks.

I really like the way my table turned out so I can't call the boutique a total bummer and I met some fun ladies!!

*** If you make a plate like mine or the luminaries, please only make them for personal use and don't sell them. I spend a lot of time coming up with my ideas and I would like to keep them mine, THANKS!! ***

Shoe Dazzle

Umm . . . have you heard of Shoe Dazzle yet??!!! It's AWESOME!!! You sign up and create a profile, they show you pictures of shoes and bags and stuff and you choose which ones best suit you.

You don't have to make a purchase every month either, you can skip as many months as you like. And when you first sign up, they send you an email for 50% of your first purchase!!! KILLER!!! So, click HERE and check it out!!! Seriously, go now!!!

Well . . . I have good news and bad news

Let's start with the bad news . . . the craft fair yesterday didn't turn out the way I had hoped. The turnout wasn't that big and it seemed like most of the people that did come just wanted the free swag bag. I made two sales and one of them was to my mother in law. Kinda sad . .. I ended up buying something from another vendor so I ended up with a whopping $3!!! hahahaha can you believe it?? At least 3 bucks is better than no bucks!!! So that's kind of a bummer but I met some great new ladies!!

Now some good news . . I was thinking about putting together my own little Holiday boutique. I don't know how many of you live in the Salt Lake Valley area but I would LOVE for some of you to join me. It will be a great time!! Even if you don't have an ETSY store you could bring some of your crafts and trinkets!!

Let me know if you would be interested or if you know anyone else that would like to do it!!!

Show Us What You're Workin' With #32!!

Oh my heck!! Ive been so busy preparing for the boutique that I almost forgot about this week's party . . . SORRY. I am making this short and sweet but I do have some fun new things to show you . . . I will post this weekend!!

My First Boutique!!!

So, I was contacted last Friday and asked if I would like to be a vendor at a boutique, THIS FRIDAY!!! A weeks notice isn't much time, especially since I was asked if I could offer something for a raffle AND goodies for 50 swagbags. Obviously I was hesitant because that's A LOT of work in 7 short days. We've had received some rather devastating financial news earlier in the day and I felt like being asked to do this wasn't a coincidence, so I said yes.

So, I have to come up with something for the SWAG bags and I am kinda stressin about it because I don't want to have to buy any supplies . . . I was thinking about making some Christmas gift tags. What do you think? I've never actually made any, but I figure with the Cricut I can whip 'em up quickly. Oh, but what is your opinion on how many gift tags I should put in each bag? And how should I present them, I don't really want to just toss 'em in the bags. Maybe use those clear treat bags and tie a bow? This is my first boutique and I just want to be prepared and make a good impression. Obviously, I'm crafting away this week like a crazy woman and I still need to come up with some sort of Business card and price tag design. Holy Moly!! I was thinking I would just run the business cards off on the printer, not my first option but I don't really have time to send out for them.

Ummm . . . the more I think about and type about how much I have to do, I'm thinking that I may have been delirious when I said yes, hahaha!!! Ok, better get back to work!!! Oh wait, if ANY of you darlings are in Utah County or Salt Lake (and you don't mind a drive) PLEASE stop by and say hi, I would LOVE to meet you!!!
