Craft shows for 2012
Wowzers it has been ages since I posted at this blog.
As you know I've signed up for some craft shows this holiday season and they are starting very soon. I've been crafting like crazy, started a new job (with no overtime so I actually get my weekends back!!!) and since it is now October we are starting to gear up for Halloween (the outdoor decor, the planning for our annual Halloween party and the tweaking of the inside of our house decor all being done at the same time!). No wonder I've not been online in a while LOL
In case you want to track me down and check out the local crafting scene, here is where I'll be over the next little while...
October 20/21 - Uniquely Creative Arts and Crafts Show - Brockville Memorial Centre
November 3/4 - Rotary Club Christmas Craft Fair - Gananoque (at the Gan Secondary school)
November 17 - South Grenville High School - Prescott - this is a very large show (last year I think there were over 3500 people through the doors and about 200 vendors)
November 18 - Mallorytown Legion
November 24 - Beckwith Christmas Bazaar
So now you know why I've been offline for so long! I have tons of new items (like the girly purse in a box) and some old favorites (like the Snowman Chocolate Bars!).

Craft shows
I've signed up for a few craft shows this coming holiday season. A few two-day events and a single day event. I might try to find a few more depending on timing and how many items I sell at the shows I'm committed to :)
Who else has signed up for craft shows this coming holiday season? What are you planning on creating? Have you got any new items that you are going to try out? I have a few new creations that I have been working on and I hope they sell well, but if not, I will have some extra goodies for family and friends!

Did you say JULY??
It's JULY!!! I don't know where the time has gone but I haven't posted in so long it feels strange to actually post a note here. I've been busy crafting for the upcoming season as well as keeping busy at the regular job. I'm going to see if I have any photos of projects to share with you - no promises but I think I do have some and will try to get them posted in the next little while... hopefully before the end of the summer LOL

What is a Christian? (re-post)
A very good friend of mine who lives in NC posted yesterday and I am sharing her post because I feel the same way.
"Promote what you love instead of bashing what you hate".
According to Websters Dictionary – “one who professes belief in the teachings of Jesus Christ”. Ok, so what did Jesus teach? Love, forgiveness, prayer, not being judgmental.

2012 is the year to get rid of clutter!
I'm a list maker. I like lists. To-do lists. Shopping lists. Ideas to try in crafting lists. You name it. I love lists. When I saw this "list" I have to admit, my heart was so happy! A calendar that is listing all the stuff I know I should do and is on my long-term list but I'll be honest, I tend to not look at that list until we have a party coming up or guests coming over LOL
This calendar makes the list of things to do into a really easy to follow list. Each day you tackle one spot or area, like the nightstand (and yes I have way too much on my nightstand!). How easy is that?! I've downloaded my copy - now you can check it out HERE to download and get rid of that clutter!
NOTE: I planned to post this back in January then got busy with crafting since I was silly enough to sign up for a few shows in Jan and Feb... and now I've signed up for another one in March!

My poor neglected blog... I will try to do better in 2012
The balance of 2011 really flew by, didn't it?! My poor neglected blog. After all the crafting I did for the craft shows in November I had planned to spend time on my blog and get it back up to date with photos and info from the shows. Hah! Instead, I took a rather long holiday from blogging (and crafting) in December. It felt good. I even managed to clean out a ton of items that I was hoarding but realized that I really won't use them - and it felt GOOD to purge!
What an interesting year 2011 was. Lots of good things and par for the course, some bad as well. But now, we welcome 2012. It's going to be an awesome year! I don't make resolutions but I do try to figure out what I want to change or improve on in my life.
I will smile more.
I will drink more water.
I will try to make sure I wear matching socks everyday... but if I don't it isn't a big deal because most people won't be looking at my feet.
Since I'm trying my hand at some new crafts, a new venture and some new ideas I've signed up for a bridal show in January and am putting the finishing touches on my creations. This type of event is a bit different for me because a bridal show typically is one where brides (and grooms) get ideas and pamphlets and oogle and stare at booth after booth while their head spins and they dream big while trying to keep a handle on the wedding budget. I'm not really sure what to expect. The show I am doing isn't a huge show (there is one in Ottawa that is just OTT in my opinion - tons of info and I'm sure that it is worth it for many vendors but I can't fathom a vendor fee upwards of $800). No wonder some companies charge so much for their services ;)
Today I am prepping for that show - I want to see how my table set-up looks and do the tweaks and changes now - not on the day of the show.
Hope you had a wonderful 2011 - let's plan on making 2012 the best year yet!
