Holiday Craftacular Week!!

December 2nd, 2008 4:45 pm by Naomi in Day to Day at Glitter

This week is all about the Holiday Craftacular happening THIS SATURDAY!!!

The first 50 shoppers will get a canvas tote filled with great donations and goodies as well as tons of coupons good for shopping the show. Here are the bags that Rebecca made for me..

We also received an amazing donation from Craft magazine and will be having a drawing for the complete boxed set of issues from year one! Each issue is like a craft book in itself. There will be additional drawing as well, so make sure to enter at the check in table on Saturday.

My sister has been helping me a ton these past few weeks too. She has become a pro at the button machine, learned to foot coasters and check for flaws, and has even turned over to the dark side of crafting. I actually heard her tell my niece, ‘just one more snowflake..’ yesterday as she worked on her ornaments for the show. They are turning out awesome!

I am working on painting signs tonight for the show and maybe finishing a cat hat. I am trying to wrap up a little production each night since I basically sold out of a large portion of my merchandise at Art Vs. Craft last weekend in Milwaukee. It was amazing. There were literally lines of people waiting to get in the door and my cat hats were gone within an hour and a half! Well, I need to mainly focus on being the organizer of the Craftacular first this week, crafter second. Well, ACTUALLY I am a mama first, always, but thank god I have a lot of help this week!!!

Wish me luck. This is going to be a great show, but I still have a ton of work to do.

    I was thinking the same thing about the totes - they look wonderful!

    My To-Do list isn’t shrinking as fast - had to take the ol’ sewing machine in for service today…….

    See you Saturday!

    As usual, the Craftacular ROCKED! Thanks to you & all the vendors for making holiday shopping fun, and for making it easier for everyone to support local businesses and buy original, handmade items! And did I mention the goody bag? Soooooo cool! :) Margo
