Craft Show Display

Due to technical difficulties, I was unable to get this posted at the normal time.  As promised here are a couple of pictures of my display table taken at last Saturday's craft show.  With the number of shows I had, it was hard to keep up on inventory.  It was a fun, busy day and I met a lot of new vendors and customers. They loved the Jr. Legal Pads and the Gift Card Holders.  The little Petite Purses were another favorite.

Snowy Crab Apples

Well, at least I think they are crab apples.  Because I took Sunday off to get my home decorated for Christmas, I forgot to upload the photos I took from Saturday's craft show.  Oh well, my house looks pretty!  So, for today, here is another beautiful photo I found.  The red and white really do put you in mind of Christmas.

Tomorrow, in between making gifts for my local demonstrator group get together on Tuesday evening, I'll take the time to upload those photos.

 

Santa Makes Me Smile!

One of the things offered at the craft show last Sunday was a free picture with Santa.  Late in the day Mariah and her friend had their picture taken with Santa.  They had such a good time hanging out with each other that they wanted to have a picture taken together.  I love it!

The photographer, Tammy, did a great job!  Here is her website so you can check out more of her photos:  http://www.capturedmemoriestammy.com.

My Craft Show Helper

Sunday afternoon was spent at another craft show.  My granddaughter, Mariah, was my helper for the day.  We had a fun time together.  I have one more craft show this weekend and they are done for the year.  Well, at least for me.

No Time to Play!

It was a busy weekend here at the Stamping Cafe.  I had a craft show on Saturday and Sunday was spent with my family celebrating birthdays and my son finishing his last year of college.  Both days were busy and noisy and so much fun.  Because of all that busyness and fun, I didn't get pictures taken.  I'll be sharing new projects throughout the rest of the week.  For today, here is a beautiful picture of dandelion puff.

 

The Beauty of Autumn

Other than the two challenges I try to do each week, I've not had much time to create.  I've been working on an order for journals I received and need to deliver this weekend when I head back to Boone for a Craft Show.  I have the journals covered but now comes the really fun part... decorating and embellishing.  Since I've nothing new to share with you, I'm sharing some fall color.  While this is not an Iowa photo, it does show some of the same color I've seen in the trees this fall.  It won't be long and there won't be any color left.  Enjoy!

Melon Mambo Matchbook Post It Note Holder

This time last Saturday I was having all the fun at a local craft show.  One of the items I had for sale was post it note holders.  They are fun, easy to make and a useful small gift item.  They are always a hit at craft shows.

Stamp Set:  Just Believe; Ink:  Soft Suede; Card Stock:  12x12 Textured Melon Mambo, Old Olive, Ice Cream Parlor Designer Series Paper (retired); Accessories & Tools:  Word Window Punch, Modern Label Punch, Butterfly Punch, 1-3/4" Scallop Circle Punch, Blossom Punch, Eyelet Border Punch, Antique Brads, Jewels Basic Rhinestones, Stampin' Dimensionals

These are quick to make up and everyone seems to love them.  I usually have two to three different styles on hand.  I often give them out as gifts myself.
