Craft Fair

So, the craft fair was a bust. I sold one package of cards and it was to a lady who lives in my neighborhood that goes to my church. I'm pretty sure it was a sympathy purchase. But I got some time to hang out with Amy and her sister Mary and to get outside (and get really sunburned) and to have sometime away from the kids. I love my kids but everyone needs a break now and then. I'm glad I had the experience but I'm not sure what we could have done differently to sell more things. Oh well, maybe next time. Here's the cards in their packages and my display as well.

Bookplates and Gift Tags

I made some bookplates and gift tags for the craft fair to go along with my cards. I only sold one package of cards at the craft fair...oh well. I guess I'll just have to send some handmade Christmas cards this year! No worries. Here are some photos of the bookplates and Christmas gift tags that I made. I love the idea of these and will be using the leftovers for Christmas presents. I got the idea from another blog I stalk. She used them as party favors for her childs birthday party...what a good idea. In the future when my kids get older I hope I remember this idea!

Greeting Cards

I created a bunch of greeting cards to sell at a craft fair that my neighborhood association is hosting. I'm pretty happy with how they turned out but wish I had more of the stampin goodies to make them even better. I hope that people like them enough to spend money on them but if not then I'll just have a bunch of cards to send out!
