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!

I'M BAAAAAACK!!

HELLO EVERYONE!!

How is everyone doing??! I am exhausted and working on getting my life back together! Since my son and I moved back to Ohio from Las Vegas, it has been a roller coaster ride. We moved around a bit and finally was able to afford our own apartment! It's the cutest little apartment with a great price! He's soooo excited that he still asks "are we at our new house?" every time we pull into the driveway! And we got our keys on April 1st!

So I cannot wait to catch up with everyone. I dearly miss being on the design teams and my design team sisters. I will have some projects coming up since we have a blank slate in our apt to work with! Fun fun!! Plus...I just purchased a new paper cutter, the Craftwell Ecraft cutter (more to come on that).

So I just wanted to say Hi to everyone, I miss my crafty family and cannot wait to get back into the loop!

Cards for Izzy!!!

Cards For Izzy

***THIS POST IS COPIED FROM KAREN'S POST OVER AT LASTING MEMORIES***

Hi there! As most of you know, Evanna's daughter has been diagnosed with Leukemia. When Evanna emailed me last week, I just felt heartsick and wondered what could I do? So, after a lot of thought, I'm going to run "Cards For Izzy" and reach out to all our fellow blogging friends to send a card to little Izzy. All cards can be mailed to Karen at:

Cards For Izzy

PO BOX 438

Cards do NOT have to be "Get Well", in fact, they can be absolutely ANYTHING that will put a smile on a little girl's face. If you have little ones and they want to make something, PLS add that in! The more cards, the better. I'm asking for all cards to be mailed out by October 21 and I will wait a couple weeks to be sure I get everyone's and then I will pkg everything up and send out to Evanna. Thank you all so very much - now let's make this little girl, and her family, smile.

I'm totally slacking on this blogger award I soooo graciously received from Tammy over at The Purple Muse!

So I'm trying to pick the 5 people and it's really hard!

1. Ruthie - September Ninth
2. Theresa - The Scrapbooking Queen

No more NSD Challenge entries but read on why!

I LOVE My Pink Stamper and wanted to play along with all of the challenges over the weekend...Robyn was even keeping it open until tonight! However, I had a new special little man come into my life! drumroll please....

Say HELLO to my gorgeous nephew! At this time he does not have a name yet! But I will update this as soon as he does. He is still in the hospital since he was just born yesterday, but hopefully coming home tonight.

So this is why I have not had a chance to enter My Pink Stampers NSD Challenges. I was able to get the first one in and started another, but then I had to come home and clean and sanitize everything. My son's birthday is tomorrow, he's going to be 3! I will try to get posted the cupcakes I'm going to make since the holders are a custom svg I designed.

Hope to talk to you soon and have some projects up!

Thank you for taking the time to read my blog, it's greatly appreciated! Now on to fold I think my 12th load of laundry for the day!!

xoxo Charity

What are YOU doing tomorrow!?

So I am sure all of my scrappy friends out there know tomorrow is National Scrapbooking Day! I really hope to fit some special events in throughout the day...especially at My Pink Stamper!! My son will be turning 3 on the 10th so we are celebrating it this weekend.

So what are YOU scrappy cats out there doing for scrapbooking day? Are you fitting in some projects, spending the day with Robyn at My Pink Stamper, celebrating Mothers Day or all the above?!

Hope you all have a great weekend! Happy National Scrapbooking Day and Mothers Day!

xoxo Charity

New Facebook Page!!! AND WINNER Announcement!!

Sooooo, I actually won a challenge from the fabulous scrappy family out there voting on my card!! I entered a card for the Tacky Tuesday Challenge. You guys are so fabulous! Well I figured I would start a FB page in case you didn't want to follow :( me here you could follow me HERE! Wow, how awesome is this!

Welp, thank you again to all the people who actually took time out of their day to look through all of the entries and cast a vote. It really means a lot.

xoxo Charity

Way excited!!!

So I have been customizing my blog page....do you like so far? I'm not that advanced, at all, with this stuff. When I used to sell wedding supplies on Ebay, I taught myself html. That was a LONG time ago and not sure I really know it anymore.


Anyways, I am gonna go through my scrapbook LO's and take pics so I can post them. Have to start this blog from somewhere right?! Then hopefully I will advance into some videos...we'll see!


I really appreciate anyone who is taking the time to view my blog. Could you please leave me a comment and let me know how you stumbled upon my page? Plus, any advice would be greatly appreciated!


Thanks again for looking!

Hello everyone!

I just started a blog! Yay meeee! Hopefully I will be able to keep up and keep posting. My goal is to post pics of layouts and other paper crafting I put together. If you were wondering how I came up with the name of my blog, I thank my almost 3 y/o! I used to have a scrapbook room and he would call it my 'bookin room'....so cute! Now I have a loft in my sisters house, but once we get our own place I will have a room again! Thats why I didn't want to call it The Bookin Loft! ha ha!


Welp, I'm gonna try to get some pics posted and start a blog!!! I really hope you enjoy and follow. Once I figure out how I will post ALL the people I follow. Two blogs I follow with a passion are The Pink Stamper--so my FAV! and Creations with Christina--FAB! I'm also sure anyone who starts following me, if anyone, will help me on my grammer and, I'm sure, the legal things I may screw up on!! Thanks again for taking the time to read this, maybe even follow *hint hint*!


Talk to you soon!!
