Yay! Day 2 of the 3 day craft show I'm participating in this weekend is behind me now and I'm currently home with my feet up on the foot stool again!
Today was another long but successful day so I really can't complain. Tomorrow is the shortest of the 3 days so it shouldn't be too bad. I plan to start it off by hopefully sleeping in a bit.
With it being the last day of the show, I don't look for it to be quite as busy but I could be wrong. My thought is that the shortest day of the show will feel like the longest though if it isn't very busy. Only time will tell!

Feet Up
Awww.....it feels so good to be sitting on my loveseat with my shoes off and my feet up on the footstool.
Today was day 1 of a 3 day craft show I'm participating in this weekend. It can be a lot of work to initially get your booth set up but usually the reward of sales in the end makes it all worth it!
I'm definitely glad day one is over though. One down, two to go. Wish me luck!

New Business Cards
Awhile back I purchased a package of paper for a great price to print my own business cards on. The paper was already perforated so once you printed your business cards, they just pulled right apart. Easy peasy right? Or so one would think!
So with Fall craft shows coming up, the other night I started working on my business card design so I'd have them to hand out at the shows I'm going to be participating in.
Well, after a few trial and errors, with some printing out right and some not, I enlisted the help of my hubby. Between the two of us, we FINALLY came up with a design that worked! Yay!
I used the cute doggie avatar that you see here on my blog, on my Etsy shop, and on my MadeItMySelf shop. It is just such a CUTE picture that I can't bring myself to change my avatars so why not use that same cute picture on my business cards!
I'm looking forward to passing them out at the craft shows and mailing them out with my Etsy orders! Between all the ones that didn't work quite right and all the ones that printed nicely, I now have like 290 business cards. I think I have plenty, don't you?

Thomas The Train Treasury
My daughter and I have a New Year's resolution to make a treasury a day this year on Etsy. So far, except for a few occasions, one of us has made one each day and on the days we missed, two were made the next day.
A lot of times I am the one who makes the treasuries but on occasion my daughter still shows interest and either helps or does all the picks. Just kind of depends on what mood she is in and what else is going on.
Tonight I thought it would be fun to let my son who is 3, almost 4, help me make a treasury. Knowing he is really liking Thomas The Train here lately, I decided the theme for today's treasury would be Thomas The Train. My son picked out each of the featured items.
I think he really enjoyed picking out all the Thomas The Train items. Once the treasury was finished, he wanted to make another one with one of the other trains from the Thomas The Train collection. It was really cute. Maybe tomorrow he and I will make another train treasury!

Working On The Car
Tonight hubby was out in the garage working on one of my displays for my upcoming craft shows. Our son decided to go out in the garage with him.
In our garage we have an old car that hubby is restoring. The two of them left the door open that goes from the kitchen to the garage so a little while after our son joined daddy in the garage I hear our son's little voice say, "I'm going to work on the car."
Right after that I hear, BANG, BANG, BANG, then my hubby saying, "Don't hit my car with a hammer." I think the little guy thought he was helping, just not the way daddy wanted. It was one of those moments that we'll have fun telling to our friends and family.
