Craft Fair

Our latest craft fair is successful! We made a little over $100.00 minus our fees for this fair and the next fair. We are very pleased! My hubby felt I needed a bigger table so he went an bought be an 8 footer. My step-daughter, Tracy, and I enjoy doing these events together. These events give us the time to be together and we enjoy every minute of it. Tracy has a FB page called 

"Tracy's Smoking Glue Gun" and mine is 

"Cupcakes & Lattes Stampers"

Stop by and say hello, we would love to hear from you.

This event was held at the Christian Academy in Marysville, OH. We were next to a woman who sold Scentsy, her name is Rebecca. I, Tracy and Rebecca chatted throughout the day and we exchanged business cards. I told her I do home parties, online if requested and as well as class in the mail. Later on I had went to the ladies rooms and when I came back she commented on the cards I had made and she said "I use to make cards but it is hard with running a business. Since you do home parties maybe I can do one and sell scentsy at the same time."  Of course I said "Sure, why not". She said she would be in contact. Never know maybe I would do the same, run a second business along with Stampin' Up!?? Interesting notion...

Our next craft fair is at:

Marion, OH 43302

I am at a Craft Fair today!

Today I am at a craft fair, I will post pics of it later on, until then I have scheduled for you today the door prize for my craft fair. I will draw the name of the winner on December 5th, because on December 4th I will be at my final craft fair for the year. Here in Ohio, majority of the people are Buckeye fans (I and my husband root for the team up north, Go Blue!!). Now our families on both sides are 90% BUCKEYES! As you can see we are always out numbered.

So in honor of my buckeye fans I have created an exclusive set of 8 Christmas greetings using the Quilted Christmas and Hang Your Stockings, using the mini tinsel, Stitched felt embellishments and rhinestones. I used Real Red and Smoky Slate for a lot of the card bases. I used some silver foil on a few, some glimmer paper in silver and dazzling diamonds. The card in the right hand corner in garden green has the embossing folder Quilt top. Insides are left blank for you to write in your name, quote or what ever you want.

 How would you like to win this set of cards? 

All you have to do is fill out the survey and email it to me
 and on December 5th I will have the wheel picker pick the winner!

Having fun with the Quilted Christmas

Quilted Christmas has become one of my favorites. I can remember growing up as a kid going to my grandmothers and her sister teaching me how to quilt. My very first quilt I got when I was born, was from my great grandmother. The unique thing about the quilt was she was blind. She could not see colors all she could see was black and white images out of the corners of her eyes. She learned by the shades of the black and whites she saw what colors they were to be. She hand stitched my quilt and I have it still today and I am almost 50. When I saw this stamp and die set it automatically brought back all those fond memories. Oh to be a kid again:)

But what to make with it. So I started going through my stash that I have had over the years and I came across some collegiate scrapbook paper and got an aha! I made two of these like the collage samplers I have seen on pinterest.

I made one OSU and the other Michigan.

 

Here are close up's of each one.

 

 

 I posted a pic on Facebook of the OSU one and it sold in 30

minutes. Tomorrow  I will be posting the Michigan one. Will see how it goes. Do you see where I used the Dies?

So tell me which one is your favorite? I would love to see your comments:)

Here is some OSU pages I made last year for our Adopt-A-Family. We auctioned off items to raise money for a needy family for Christmas.

This is what I submitted.

See the toilet on the left page:). The only thing is I am a Michigan fan. But I knew we could get more money if I did it this way. If I remember correctly it sold for around $20.00.
