Time to wind down

Hello everyone!!

I have been crazy busy with the craft shows lately. My last one was this past Saturday. They are a lot of fun and really help bring in some extra funds for my rescue kitties. At the same time, I am thankful they are over for now! I need a break!

Now, I need some inspiration on what to do next. Everything I make and sell at the shows is small giftables. I need to get back into the swing of things of crafting. I just don't know where to start off!

How do you guys get back into the crafting mood? Leave me some ideas!

Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!

Have a blessed day and be kind to each other!

Craft Shows are so much fun!!

Do you like going to craft shows? Do you sell at craft shows?

I like doing craft shows around Christmas since most of the items I make are little giftables. I recently had a request to make baby shower favors. I make and sell little teapot favors and she saw them last weekend at that the show. She asked if I could do little onesies instead of teapots. I said of course!! So now I'm thinking of extending what I make and offering favors on my Etsy shop. Here's a few pics of my table at some of the shows and some of the items I make. Let me know what you think, any constructive criticism, and advice! As always, have a blessed day!

Lost Mini Album - Never know what you'll find!!

Hey everyone!!

I was recently cleaning out a closet in one of my spare bedrooms and came across a box labeled 'Mini Albums'. WHAT??!! Where did this come from??!!

Have you ever done this before? Go on a cleaning/purging spree, box things up, throw things away, store things in various areas of the house, then go on with your life? Only to find things at a way later date like it's Christmas?! Please tell me I'm not the only one! lol

I pulled this box out and frantically ripped it open----ok...carefully ripped it open because I didn't want to tear anything inside----to find a bunch of mini albums and various things I made a long time ago.

I vaguely remember making this album. Let me know what you think of it. I was thinking about putting it up for sale for someone else to enjoy it. Since I obviously completely forgot I even had it! What would you sell it for...or better yet....what would you pay for it?

Thanks for looking/reading!

School-themed Decorative Boxes

Hey everyone!

Remember those paper mache boxes I bought? I posted some of the Halloween ones I made. So here are some school-themed ones I did!

I think I'm going to sell these for $10.00 per set of 3 at the craft fair. What do you think?

Thanks for looking!!

Halloween Box Sets

Hey Everyone!!

So, there is a craft store called Pat Catan's that are closing in our area. I picked up 12 sets of these for $3.00! They are only 0.25 cents each and each set has 3 different sizes. I couldn't believe it and had to get some to see what I could do with them. 

I have 2 events I need to make and sell things for. One is for our upcoming fundraiser for our shelter. I need to make things for their silent auction. The second is for craft fairs I have coming up throughout the rest of the year. 

This is what they look like out of the packaging.....

I started by picking out papers and black ink for Halloween. I inked the edges of the boxes and lids. 

I measured the top of the lid, the four sides of the lid, and the four sides of the box. I cut the paper to size, inked the edges, and glued them on!

I did an assembly line with the cutting and inking. This made them work up so quickly and easily!

I am going to do some Christmas and non-holiday ones also. I'll post those when I get some done.

Thank you for looking! Don't forget to follow me here, Instagram, and Pinterest!
