Items for Craft Show - Visitation

I had to take these pictures from above, while behind the table because it was just too busy to go out in front to take them!

In the top picture I have some ribbon weaving wreaths, post it notes holders, snowman soup, and ornament money holders.

In the bottom picture I have some post it note holders, gift card holders, and skinny tablets. These tablets are PERFECT for keeping track of your holiday shopping lists, to do lists, etc. I had some requests to make some for next year in non-holiday, so I will be adding those for next year.

Visitation BVM Craft Sale Nov 18 & 19, 2011

This year I was able to secure a spot at Visitation's Holiday craft show. I was both excited and a little anxious. I heard how busy their shows are! The first picture is one of the crowd on Friday night. And this isn't even at it's busiest!!!! When I went to set up I was a little overwhelmed. I expected an 8 foot space, this was closer to 10 or 12 foot. They used their lunch tables for us. I just kind of stood there staring at the tables, not really sure where to start. Then I was afraid I was not going to have enough stuff to fill the space. I ended up just fine, and still had stuff to put out. The pictures of the tables are from late Friday night, I can tell because there are boxes of cards there. When I first set up, I didn't have room for the cards. I ended up doing pretty well, making almost 4 times the sales I ever made at craft shows! I will absolutely be back next year! Oh and while I was there, someone from St Sophia's approached me to be a vendor at their sale next November! All in all a very successful show!!!

Craft fair items

Here is the last photo of the items for Oaks Fire House sale. Here we have lollipop holders, altered starbucks candy jars, Snowman soup, and candy bar holders all in the back row. Towards the front we have more coaster calendars, post it note holders, post it note key chains, mini composition books with matching pens, and spiral notebooks with matching pens. This year I opted to put the books into bags with toppers with my information. For one it kept the pens together with the books, keeps them clean and keeps little fingers from drawing on the pages. :)

PS Today's my birthday! Whoo Hoo! Nothing special planned.

Craft Fair items

Another view of some craft fair items. Here are lip balm holders, gift card holders, coaster calendars, and ornament money holders.

Craft fair items

Here I have pictures some altered composition books, decorated rulers, gift card holders, gift tags and corner bookmarks. These composition books I made into Holiday planners. Each one has handmade paper beads on ribbons which are great bookmarks. I also added tabs in little baggies so that when the person bought it, they could add dividers if they wished. The corner bookmarks are great for holding your space in a favorite book, and they aren't bulky so they wont mess up the spines of your books (I hate that). The gift card holders are probably one of my best sellers.

Oh and the rulers? What better way to keep track of your ruler! I bet no one would dare try to steal your ruler now! You could tell by looking at it that it was yours! Perfect gift for teachers, crafters or anyone in school!

Craft Fair items

I was so glad I took pictures of these before the sale! No lie I sold out of both of these items within 5 minutes of the doors opening! Luckily I had brought more of the little snowmen to make with me. The popcorn holders hold a sleeve of microwave popcorn, and would make a perfect gift! Want to kick it up a notch? Add a Movie theater gift certificate! The candy bar snowmen are filled with Nestle crunch, kit kats or hershey bars. There are also a couple more coaster calendars pictured here.
