It's beginning to feel a lot like Christmas!

The Christmas holiday season is my hands down favorite time of year to craft for!  I've been hoarding old graters that I've collected all year for this project. I got 7 made up today.  I actually found the little one this morning at a neighbors yard sale.

My first giveaway.

I know, It's about time I did a giveaway.  Thanks to all my followers.  I'm offering one of  my very popular Frosty the snowman.  I'll be adding some extras,  but that's a secret.

The rules are simple.

1.  You must be a follower of my blog for one entry.  2.  If you leave a comment, you get two entries.  3.  If you post this on your blog, you get three entries.

I'll be picking the winner on my Mother's 80th Birthday, Oct. 22.

Good luck! 

If you would like to purchase one, he's listed on my website, etsy, and there is an eBay auction going on for one now.



More Craft show pictures.

Show pictures.

I have a few pictures of my craft show display.  I wish I could have gotten more. The show starts at ten, but the shoppers start much earlier.  The weather was perfect! Last year the Fall stuff outsold the Winter. This year they were a close call. I used 90" muslin to cover the tables front, top and back. Then, I draped the creey cloth that I found at the dollar store on the Fall and Halloween tables.  I ran a lenght of dark green fabric across the top of the Christmas themed tables. 
It's hard to have the two holidays in one small space. I wanted the booth to look uniform, so I kept the table tops low key, and separated the Christmas and the Halloween the best I could.

 

My first giveaway is coming soon.  Thanks to all of you!!
Hugs,
Pat

50 Followers deserves a celebration!

I just saw that I'm up to 50 followers.  I plan on posting a giveaway to celebrate.  I just have to get this big craft show tomorrow over and done.  Stay tuned, It won't be long.   I promise to make it a good one!
I'll be posting show pictures soon too.
Thanks all...........
