Hair clips

So this past Saturday I did a craft show at Crest Canyon Academy High School.  It was more of a swapmeet, so there was more haggling than I wanted to deal with.  It was pretty slow.  Actually the show was supposed to end at 3pm and almost all the vendors were packed and gone before 2:30.  Someone actually started breaking down at 11 am.  I don't usually start breaking down early, but the people that were organizing the show started to break down.  It was disappointing, but I was able to share with one of the kids in the ASB how the event could be improved and how they should target it to the high school kids on campus.  It was weird not seeing any teenagers at a high school event.


Anyways to prepare for the show, I made a ton of these hairclips.  It had been awhile since I made them, so it was kind of fun to go back and make some more.  I actually did sell quite a few of the Frozen clips.  With all the Easter ribbon available now, I came up with some new fresh spring designs.  I actually got to try out the new stand I picked up at the thrift store too.  It worked out great, until a gust of wind knocked it over.  Fortunately, it didn't hit anyone and the kid in the next booth helped me pick up all the pieces that got knocked over.  I found a weight, and put it on the base and I didn't have any more problems with it the rest of the afternoon. 

To try to help me stay on track with this blogging stuff.  I will attempt to write up a new post on Sundays or Mondays.  So check back then for some new creations.  If you see anything you like on the blog, please leave some feedback or send me a comment.  I will try to add some of these to my Etsy shop as well, in case you would like a gift for a special someone.  Enjoy the rest of your week.

In case you have not noticed, I have not been posting much lately.  I haven't stopped making things, but I have had a hard time taking pictures of the items that I have made.  But my darling husband got me a cool camera for Christmas.  Unfortunately, I got out of the habit of taking pictures and blogging for so long I kinda forgot how to do it.  They changed the format of the blog since the last time I posted, so I have to learn how to do it over again.  I have forgotten to take pictures of so many of the crafts I made and gave away for baby showers this year. 

Now that the new year is over, I am ready to turn over a new leaf and try to do this again on a more consistent basis.  I would like to post something at least weekly.  It is hard to tell if anyone reads this or not, so please leave feedback.  Blogging sometimes feels like online diary writing and I was never really good at that. 

So I guess I will start out by sharing some pictures of a banner I just made for one of my Etsy customers.  Last year, someone asked me if I could make a similar banner to one they showed me a picture of.  I was up for the challenge, so I flipped through my Cricut books and this is what I came up with.  I think it turned out pretty good, and I get rave reviews about it from my customers.  I think when we take the time to decorate with handmade items, people really appreciate the time and effort that goes into making these crafts.  In today's busy world, it is getting harder and harder to find people that actually take the time to make handmade items.  I guess that's why I really believe in our motto:  Creating lasting impressions through crafts.  My hope is that by spending my time making these items for your special events, that you will have more time to focus on the guest of honor and less time worrying about the details.  That will leave a smile on everyone's face.
