Craft Fair recap

Happy Monday everyone! Am I glad the whole craft fair business is done and over with! LOL! Since this was my first craft fair, I had no idea what to expect. The stuff I thought would sell the most didn't and the stuff I didn't think would sell sold the best! Ahhh, live and learn! I did good but still have some inventory that I may put up on esty or just sell through my blog. We'll see! Oh before I forget, I wanna thank Miss Joni for stopping by! She's such a sweet person, she even brought me some cookies and boy were they oh so ono-licious! As a quick note to any first timers, (I'm sure most of my Hawaii girls are familiar with the whole CF thing, but I wasn't), I was told by my fellow crafters that there will be some crafters "shopping" for ideas...meaning they only go to get ideas on what items to copy...and you know I got a few which was funny cause I had several straight up asking exactly how to make what I made...hahaha! Too funny! I knew there would be some but not ask me exactly how I made my stuff. I'm seriously all for sharing my ideas and how to make stuff but um (not to be mean) not while and at the place I'm trying to sell stuff that I had worked over a month any other time. Wasn't upset about it, just shocked. Another lesson learned! On a brighter note, we met a local celebrity... Tim Sagahara from Hawaii News Now. He is the SIL of one of the coordinator for the CF. Nice guy...didn't realize he isn't from HI but from Cali! Woohoo!

OK, enough about that, here's a pic of my table (wish I thought of presentation, but I didn't so my table was plain)! Be sure to check back tomorrow as I will be giving away something!!!

I Believe - Christmas Kit by Mindy Terasawa

It's 2:30 AM! I'm finally done with my craft fair projects!!! Finally! Right now I'm printing up some business cards and then I'm off to bed! Gotta wake up at 5! Yikes! Anyhow, here's Mindy's latest kit called I Believe (name by yours truly...LOL!). I believe it'll be available at Designer Digitals Sunday...I'll have to double check with Mindy. If I don't post by Sunday then I'm correct. If not I will make a note here on the blog!

Sorry friends, I've been busy tryin't to finish up my craft fair projects. I have to say as my first fair, I've learned a lot. Even though my items may seem simple, it was definitely labor intense. At least I've learned that I need to make more simpler items and if I want to ever participate again. hahaha! We were told that this was a fun thing and not to stress, I have to say there was a lot of stressin' done on my end up until yesterday. I figure why stress? No one is in charge of me and if I don't make a lot, I don't make a lot of mula...that's on me. This again was suppose to be fun...so I'm taking that for the rest of the week and allow it to be a fun process. If I don't have a lot of items, I don't have alot....no big loss.

With that said, as you know I have not created anything for the blog. I will post a few of the items once I'm all done. I did however create my weekly digi LO for TGF using their latest kit called Dirty Sugar. Which is up for sale at the TGF site...check it out!

OK, without further ado, here's my LO.

Don't forget to check out my fellow digi girls:
