Monday….

is usually Monday Inspiration but today I’m a bit under the weather and TIRED from the weekend. Hard workin! LOL! So I thought I’d show some tweaks I was “inspired” to make to my booth for this past weekend’s fair. I have one more before christmas so ALL HANDS ON DECK YO!

I found these fabby yarn mats (hot pads???) at a second hand store for 69 cents each! I am in love with them!  They are uber thick and in the perfect cheery colors. I had to have them, didn’t know what I was going to DO with them but that’s besides the point lol. The shutters need a new coat of paint (hoping this weekend but I hear snow in the forecast… its 60 right now! wtf michigan?!) but we made some strides with our frames for signage and the cute tags we made! I designed stickers (vista print) and DH helped me by punching and sticking. Isn’t he such a lovey? 🙂 
My fav part was the tree! I love how it turned out! I had that thing just sittin in storage, got a new topper (HL 50% off baby!) and hung the ornaments and Christmas cards from them 🙂 
I sold a lil of everything so I am pleased. I think it would have gone better but there was another cardmaker/paper crafter there (who was before me in the traffic flow to boot) who was selling some cards and very simple lil giftie tags and boxes. She made a killing! I hate her yet am jealous I didn’t think of it LOL. The hate, besides she got luck of the traffic flow (HA!), is all of her stuff was so “production line” and overly…. cheap isn’t a good word but it didn’t have any love in it if you know what I mean. I’m the only paper crafter at the Dec 10-11 show so fingers crossed! 
I know a few of you also had fairs this weekend so LET ME SEE THOSE PICS!!!

    love the colour scheme you went with… pity about your table position. You will be much better off when you are the only paper crafter for sure!! Good luck! Robin
