Man so my craft fair earlier this month gave me a BUNCH of new ideas to add to my arsenal of items in my shop.  I am so excited to start working on them!  Unfortunately they won't be up on my shop until the new year, but still VERY exciting.  One of them I am definitely making one for myself.  I had someone ask for clip on earrings, so I am going to start adding those to my shop and possibly have the option of getting them as regular earrings too.

I also got new ideas for gift boxes for next year.  I am so very excited!  I will be posting blogs up on the making of the new items when I start making them so you can see them before they are put up on my shop.

Wow!  I went to this exhibit this weekend to check out the new Restoring Earth exhibit that I worked on. It is so cool.  You get to learn how they are helping save the rainforests and there is all of the different species of birds and moths and butterflies... and there is this big interactive part where you answer 5 questions and based on that you get this little collection that goes up on the big screen.  And then you can stand in the beam of light in front of the big screen and interactively go through all of the different collections that people have made.  ALSO they email it to you so you can customize it and see all of the other collections.

Heres a link to all of the collections:

If you see butterflies, moths or the iPod and speaker.. those are mine.  :D

So I had my very first craft fair experience this past weekend.  It was a  lot of fun.  Kind of stressful at times, but overall great!  I learned a few things on what to take next time.  And also got some ideas for new items for my shop.  I shared a booth with my mom and she did very well!  I was so happy for her.  I really wanted her to do well because after the craft fair last year she was so down, it broke my heart.  She said for my first one, I did very well too, which I didn't think I did since I had a lot of stuff still on my table when I left, but I did make a bit of green, so thats cool.  :)  I can at least afford groceries this week now. YAY! 

I am going to be posting up a couple of new Christmas items this week, once I get photos taken of them.  I am very excited to see them sell.  They are too cute not to.
