Mystery Bags

I am trying a couple of new things in my Project Random shop. I bundled some patterns and started making "mystery bags". Doesn't everybody love a mystery? I of course take pictures of what is going to be in the bag and you can see what you will be getting in the mail. I have collected so many odds and ends of crafting things and I really had no idea what to do with them. I woke up in the middle of the night remembering going to the Salvation Army with my grandma and we got to pick a "grab bag" of toys. I think this will help draw traffic to my shop, fingers crossed.  I have one posted so far take a peek.



I think its a good thing if I do say so myself. Have a great day all!!

Whats for dinner? Chicken and green olives over here.

Craft Fair Flop??????

Here we made a display for my sisters artwork. She got so much interest it was great.

 here are the dolls I made and some last minute little monsters.
We both made some magnets from things we had around our houses.

I put out some of my felt food and dessert plates my hubs put together. I had one girl come back several times to look at the cherry pie so I sent it to her on Tuesday, I got the sweetest note from her yesterday.

My sister Violet (who doesn't craft much but helped us set up and brought us coffee) and the Artist of the family Creepymama.


Our set up, after a couple of hours I decided to move everything just because we were not getting kids looking at the beads.
And here are all the beads!!
After a hot two days and all the work we made enough to pay for the booth. Creepymama did get a deposit for a portrait WOOT WOOT. My mom of all people ordered a doll :] I wish I had gone into this more with the thinking that this would be a learning experience. So now I am glad we did it, I met fellow crafters, learned what I need to work on more and had fun hanging out with my sisters.
So I am off to get more things done! 



What for dinner?? We are having chicken of some sort....

Great weekend with the hubby! Picked up alot of really fantastic items to post on Etsy, here is a sneak peak.

Its a pelican cookie jar, I think its so cute.

We also were able to take the time to really look at cameras and found one that meets our needs, so we can take pics like this.

I love it! Have a great week everyone.
