LaCueva Craft Show

We had a wonderful craft show this past weekend at La Cueva High School, had a huge turn out and almost doubled our sales from last year.  We have one more show this year and then we start restocking our inventory for next year.  I was sure I had fired enough bottles to last a few years but found myself having to fire 2 loads this week. lol
    

We are making journals this year and when I ran out of ideas I CASED my own cards. I found a few cards I really liked and made journals to match.

Shop is cleaned out

From this

To This!

All cleaned out so we can tear it down!!!! I know doesn’t make any sense but that’s the way it. It makes it a little easier to think the shop employees will have a nice place to work again soon.

Happy Thanksgiving

Hope you all have a wonderful time with you family and friends.

God Bless

Sandia Craft Show

The Sandia Craft show was a success, we sold a lot and I had a wonderful time hanging out with my friends.  The day flew by and I am looking forward to the next 2 shows.  Last year I was the only one selling the slumped bottles, this year there were 2 others.  I guess I should of expected at least that many they are very cool. lol

 

Kristen makes some really wonderful paper crafts and I kind of regret getting into the bottles, paper crafts were sooooooo much easier to load and unload. Thank goodness for my wonderful husband for all the heavy lifting.

I got this great stand for $20.00 at a Hallmark store that went out of business. It worked great and I could really get a lot of bottles on it. 

1st carft show of 2011

First craft show of the season is tomorrow….. I can’t believe I am looking forward to getting up at 5am! I am never up before 7am and then it is a few cups of coffee before I get moving. lol  I will post pictures and how we did and what the big sellers were this year. I would love to know what the best sellers for you are. For the last 2 years I sold a bunch of the scrapbook purses, you can find the tutorial here. I sale them for $5.00 and I ran out both shows we did.  This year we are doing 3 shows Sandia High School 11/19, LaCueva High School 12/3 and Eisenhower Middle School 12/10. Would love to see you there.

I have ink on my fingers......

Really true ink!!!! It has been so long since I have been up in the craft room. But after the week I had I really needed to just sit and think of nothing but putting things together. I decided to work on some notebooks for the upcoming craft shows we will be doing this year. We were accepted into the LaCueva show again and did sooooo well at that one last year can't wait for this years. I had some cards that I made and really liked so thought I would turn them into notebooks something that would last longer than a card.

We are still not allowed into the shop at work, and the poor tech's and detail are working outside in the heat. I can't wait to get this all done but until the EPA says we can clean it up and tells us how we "have to clean it up" we are stuck waiting. This is what it looks like 2+ months after the fire.

 

 

This is what's left of a boat.
