Me: Holy time flies Batman, it is that time of year isn't it? Well I did two craft shows and zero Christmas cards.
"Another year over, and a new one's just begun"
Me: (sobbing quietly into my eggnog for all the unfinished projects).
Apologies to fans of the song, please don't send me hate mail, I promise not to do it again. Actually that's a lie, I'll try not to make bad jokes again.
So, the craft shows. You've all done them, you know the drill, so I'll skip to the good parts.
 |
| Okay, this isn't the good parts, it's my booth at MakeIt Vancouver. Oops, forgot to put away the step ladder. |
Highlights of the shows:
- selling some of some soaps I hadn't expected to sell off
- seeing fellow crafters who I got to know from previous fairs
Best phrases from the shows:
- "This is my daughter's favourite booth." Not bad for a venue with over 200 vendors
- "This is fudge, not soap." A sign seen at the fudge booth.

| Half a booth picture. By this time I got too lazy to put out as much stock. |
Cool artists I met at the shows:
- Jo of LaJolee
- April of Yapes Paints
- Jamie of Jamie Smith Studios
- Rubina of Whisper Jewels
 |
| Rubina of Whisper Jewels with her oh so cool creations. Plus I finally remembered to take a picture of my neighbour. |
And friends from before:
- Lisa of Blush Face Papers
- Anahita from Gogobags
And my favourite crafter (because she's a fabulous person and she has me make her special soaps)
- GG of Creampuffs by GG
Hope you all had great success at your shows, and that you're finding time to be with friends and family this holiday season.
