Maude Cobb Christmas Corner

Well, this weekend was Longview's Christmas Corner at Maude Cobb. This is my second year to sell my items at it. Last year, I shared a booth and was very pleased when they had extra room and we both ended up getting a full booth space (at only half the cost).

This year, I decided to get a booth alone and see how it went. My friend, Mandy, was going to share the booth with me and use a small corner for her photography business, but then she had to go and move! (You know I love you, Mandy!) :-) So, I invited my other photographer friend, Josie, to join me.

I brought my camera to take a picture of our wonderfully amazing booth, but just never got around to taking a picture. I was lazy... Just take my word for it that we were the coolest booth in the joint! :-)

One of my newest additions to my display items was this cool locker!

I was so excited to get it and set it up! Doesn't it look so cool!


Unfortunately, it's not magnetic. Silly me. I didn't realize that it would be wood! Oh, well.


As I was putting it together, I had everything spread all out across the livingroom floor. Slade was doing something on the computer and when he finished, he scooted his chair back and we heard this terrible "crack!" Here's the back... Notice the hole?


Just the size of the leg of the chair... Oops! :-)


But, it wasn't noticeable when it was on the table at the Christmas Corner.

It was a long weekend (all day Friday, all day Saturday and half a day on Sunday), but the time flew by! It went so much quicker having someone there with me--to chat with, to help take money. We both got good at giving each other's info and laughed together at people that didn't even hear us as we talked and talked about our products and services. Also, we knew quite a few of the people that came through to shop and enjoyed getting to chat and catch up.

All in all, a great weekend and very profitable for me. It was also a great way for Josie to get her name out to more people. She filled her calendar from now to Christmas!

Feeling a Tad Bit Prudish?!

I can personalize your tin, too... for a small fee. Oh, no, I mean, for you, free! Well, for everyone, free, but for you, too! So, go check it out!

Back in School Again

I had my first craft show of the season this weekend in Gladewater, Texas. It seems to get smaller each year, but it was still a great show for me!

My friend, Christy, came with me on Saturday and my mom came with me on Sunday. I enjoyed both days very much.

Christy and I were brainstorming better ways to set up my tables to give them height since most of what I sell is flat *grin* and came up with the idea to look for a locker of some sort. I could put paper bag albums inside and then magnets and refrigerator scrapbooks on the outside. I couldn't wait to get home and look up lockers.

I was thinking about buying a real, full-size single locker, but then I found this:


It was exactly what I was looking for! It won't be too heavy or long to tote back and forth to shows, but it is definitely a locker and people will be able to tell right away!

Now I'm even more excited about my next craft show!

Welcome, Little Buckaroo

I had a baby shower for a sweet friend from church this Sunday. She is decorating her little one's room in a western theme, so we used the western theme for the shower, too. It was so fun because it was different!

Here's the card I made for all the hostesses to sign.


Here's the food table with the fun western stuff. The plates and napkins matched perfectly with the paper I used on the card.


Look at that cute cake! It was made by Edible Art. And, it was even yummier than it was cute! Honestly. I don't usually like cake that much. But, this was moist and thick and delicious! They make yummy cookies, too.


Here are the fun tables! Aren't the centerpieces so perfect?!


The whole shower was fun. No pictures of the hostesses all together because that was taken with someone else's camera. But, everyone worked hard and did such a good job! The games were fun, the food was super yummy and the chatting was sweet.

If you "carrot" all... write!

I made this card for a sketch challenge from many moons ago. It was a Gina K. sketch and I liked how it was different with the corner of the paper folded up.


I needed a card for some sweet friends of ours that were moving home to Canada while the husband finishes up his Master's, I believe.


I saw my Easter stamps sitting out (needing to be cleaned, I'm sure) and it hit me that I could use the carrot one for a pun! I love puns!

The carrot stamp is from Michael's $1 bin and I got a few other cute Easter images along with it.

So, do you like puns? This one is, of course, only two-thirds of a PUN... P-U! Ha ha ha ha... Tell me you got that one...
