Trick or Treat

Hello,

For my first craft show I made some adorable Halloween treat boxes.  It took quite some time to create some cut files for my Cricut.  Using my Cricut sure made the process of getting these boxes made so much faster.  I didn't sell many boxes at the show.  I did get a huge order from a friend and a couple of smaller orders.  I have made over 80 boxes.  I am tired.  The original idea came from using a Stampi Up die Top Note and a variety of punches to punch out shapes like the nose, bolt, eyes.  If you search for Top Note Halloween boxes you can find some tutorials. Here is a link that has some great tutorials. http://dreamcreateandshare.blogspot.com/2009/09/and-heres-frankie.html

Have a blessed day!

Blessings, Diane

New Adventure

Hello,

A friend I have known for many years recently retired and asked me if I wanted to participate in craft shows with her.  I have done a few craft shows several years ago.  I  also decided to retire this Summer.  We have joined up together and so far we work really well together.

I am selling my Chic Totes that can be used for grocery bags, beach bag, sleepovers, craft projects, and carry stuff around everyday.  I am also selling pin cushions, knit and crochet dish cloths, rice filled warmers for sore necks and cold toes. Greeting cards, treat boxes, gift card holders and more.
My friend has a variety of items she is personalizing and decorating with her new embroidery sewing machine.

I made us matching aprons that were wonderful for holding lot's of things we needed.  I love our stands that we got from IKEA.

Here are some photos from our first craft show.

Have a blessed day,

Blessings, Diane
