Mini Spiral notebooks for girls

I have also been working on some new Mini Spiral Notebooks. These are always popular at my shows and sold out completely last year so I wanted to be sure to have enough for this year.

 Cheyenne's favorite - she LOVES giraffes!

Stay tuned for some boy designs!

Oaks Fire House Sale - close ups

Here are some close ups of some of the items I had for sale at Oaks. I started making items in June for the sale in November. In this picture I have PostIt Note Purses, Ornament money holders, Post it note frames, coaster calendars and Folding Christmas planners.

Oaks Fire House Craft Show Nov 2011

In November I participated in Oaks Fire House's craft show. This was my second year with them and it was so much better then the first! The first year we were in the bay where the trucks usually park, and believe me when I tell you it was freezing when we were setting up! The doors were open, and no heat...but anyway..this year we were in the main hall and it was awesome! Here are some pictures of my set ups (kids not included in the sales). I am still trying to perfect my displays, but I am getting there I think. I'll be showing close up pictures in another post.

Lots of Craft Fair items on my other blog!

So last night I was working hard at getting a lot of my recent craft fair items on my blog, and after I had a bunch listed I realized I posted them on my other blog, I meant to post them here! ugh.
So if you have the chance and want to see what has been taking up so much of my time, why not hop on over here and check it out?

Craft Sale Pictures

Okay so I still need to come up with a more appealing way to set up my tables at craft sales. This sale we were outside, and had a bit of wind which was causing problems, but at least we were in the shade,as it was pretty hot out that day! Anyway here is two views of the table, which I shared with my mom. I actually had a whole table set up with cards, but I must not have taken pictures of that table :( I also came across some plastic canvas magnets that I made a while ago, and added them to the table. :)

Items for a craft fair - Popcorn Holders

Here are more of the items that I made for a recent craft fair. How cute are these? How many people give out Gift Certificates to the movies? Wouldn't it be great to add just a little something extra? These cute little holders come complete with a pack of Microwave popcorn. Slip a gift Certificate inside and Viola instant gift. What fun!

Items for a Craft Fair - Large Tree Tags

Here's another set of tags that I made for the craft sale. This one used that squeeze tool again with a 3 piece tree. The silver "balls" actually came in a strip that I just trimmed the adhesive in between each one. Again I used some of the patterned paper, ribbons and cardstock from my stash.
As this posts (if it works correctly)I will be on my way to my brother's wedding. I am hoping to get more done so I can schedule it out. If not, I will hopefully have more to post when I get back!

Items for a Craft Fair - Large Reindeer tags

There's those Reindeer again!! What can I say? I love how cute he/she is! I made some more tags with that squeeze hand die cutter. Well just the reindeer are cut with that, I actually traced and cut out the tags. I know I know, I have a machine to do that, just too lazy to pull it out! Ok so how many of you out there have more patterned paper than you could possibly use in this life time? That's me too! So I decided to put it to good use and make some tags! All of the paper, cardstock and ribbon is stuff I have on hand collecting dust. (At least that's what my hubby thinks!)
Stay tuned, more Craft Fair goodies to come! Oh and don't forget to check out my other blog as I have more goodies on there as well!

Items For a Craft Fair- Altered Butterfly notebook

This is actually the first notebook I ever altered! I have the second one on my other blog! Along with a few more that will be posted soon. I can't believe how much I was over thinking this! I used the "Flight of the Butterfly" set. And finished it off with some (retired) Old Olive Striped ribbon. What a quick, easy, and not to mention perfect last minute stocking stuffer! Or perhaps a little gift for classmates? I am actually making a bunch of these for the Craft Fair I am doing.

Items for a Craft Fair - Small Reindeer Tags

I really had to dig stuff out to make these! I pulled out and dusted my original hand operated Die Cut machine for the reindeer on these! It's amazing how far Die cuts have come! Gone are the days where you ended up hurting your hand or bribing your hubby to squeeze the hand tool while he's sitting there watching TV. LOL. Ah but they still have some cute dies! The circle tags were actually cut out using a store's die machine. The store closed, oh 3 years ago maybe. I was wishing they were still around, because I could use more of those handy tags!
Anyway these are for an upcoming Craft Fair that I will be doing in Mid-September. I'm trying to get a bunch done before I go back to work! Also in a few days I will be heading out to Ohio for my brother's wedding. I'm scheduling out a few posts so that I don't slam with you a bunch all at once!
