Oh Christmas Tree...

Yesterday we went to get our Christmas tree......I would prefer an artificial tree but my husband loves going out into the woods (aka tree farm) to cut one down, so we do.....

We found our tree in record time this year - it was seriously only 10 minutes. We liked one from the first section we looked in (that never happens!)

Right now it is up & has lights on, no ornaments yet, that is for today. I am also going to the Aurora gift shop to check out my inventory. Have a nice & lazy Sunday....I will!

Dance Party You Say??

My little girls just love to turn on their radio & get down. We like to call it "finding your funk". Our regular dance party grooves are Michael Jackson - he is the king of pop - just ask Audrey. Sydney likes to hold onto the shelf & jump but Audrey will just flail around. It is getting to be hard to get her out of her little tutu outfit so mom is making them both tutus that can be worn over any outfit (the one she has now is sewn to a little body suit). Shhhhh...don't tell them.

In crafting news I have picked up some cool new copper pieces - I am SO curios to see what they turn out like from the sulfur...we'll see I just need a few minutes to try....

Got to run!

The Show in Review

Well the Craftacular is all over....it was great! I had a blast, sold my goodies and bought a new purse and a few Christmas gifts & decorations. What a lovely day!

Here is a photo of my display (the scarves are cut off). I thought it was pink & fun!

I had a great day - thank you to all who came down

The BIG Show....

So this weekend is my highly awaited, much anticipated CRAFTACULAR!!!

It is a great craft show in Madison. It is the 5th annual & each year it has gotten better! It is hosted by crafty ladies who know what makes a craft show good.

It is this Saturday Nov 28th from 10-5 at the Madison Masonic Center - 301 Wisconsin Ave.

The first 50 shoppers get goodie bags. I donated some fun things myself for them.

I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving I know we have much to be grateful for this year.

Off the list

Wow, I can cross making my collage magnets off my to-do list! Can you even believe it? I have had these sheets printed out for quite some time just sitting there waiting to be made. I was going to stick them onto magnetic sheets & then modge-podge them & then wait days for them to dry. But then my mom said, hey you have a laminator, why don't you put pretty paper on the back of them & laminate them instead. Wow - what a great idea! Until I went to go get laminating sheets.....they were all gone. I happened to order more from a fun mail-order catalog & they came this past week.

So tonight I really wanted to get something done, but wasn't really in the mood to paint onesies, or to sew any. I finished my book last night so tonight I made magnets! Finally! I love how rich to colors got once I laminated them & I have holiday & everyday magnets. The Holiday ones have festive paper on the back even.

I got 50 (yes, fifty) of them made tonight, just in time for the Craftacular. I also happen to have a neat metal ladder type thing in my random displays.....I just need to paint it white.

Have a great Monday!!

The Show

So I was at the Holiday MarketPlace today. While I was very prepared & had a cute little spot (the pictures don't do it justice....at all) I'd have to say sales were down a bit from last year. But with the Craftacular just a few days away I was okay with it - I will have less to do to get ready for it :) I came home with more ching than I went with so I can't complain.

I was really happy with the display. I had a pretty sheer-white festive cloth over my usual pink table cloth, I also have cute holiday signs. I used my usual headband rack to hold scarves and I had all sorts of pretty new ribbon chains for the pendants and I had bracelets perched in the branches of a pretty pink tree & surrounding it like a tree skirt.

I will have to make onesies this week. And another display for them. With having girl & boy shirts one display doesn't seem like enough...

Well I need to get off the computer now have a good night

Holiday MarketPlace

I have a show this Saturday....

It is the Holiday MarketPlace Art & Craft Show located at the Washington County Fair Park
3000 Hwy PV in West Bend.

It is a great show. I was at it last year & it has well over 100 vendors (I believe 150). They have a great variety of holiday decor & gifts. The show runs from 9-4.

I will have my boy onesies, cute new girlie onesies, new scarfs, headbands & my hand stamped jewelry. I also have a cute wispy pink Christmas tree I will be using in my holiday display (I borrowed it from my mom!)

Hope to see you there
