Gifted Marketplace

This coming weekend I will be in my second craft show of the year. I'm looking forward to getting more of my creations out there.  This one is extra special because it supports my oldest sons' theater group - Eau Claire Children's Theater.  If you are local The Chippewa Valley - Eau Claire area, I'd like to invite you to come out and get your holiday shopping started or maybe finished?  Gee, I'd like to be that organized to have my shopping done this far in advance. Smiles.  Here are the deets for Gifted.

And as a teaser, here are some of the things I've been working on.

Some of the goodies I've been working on.  Also cocoa packet holders, gift card holders, Christmas planners, etc.

Hope to see you there!  

Happy Halloween!

Okay, so it's not Halloween just yet, but it is right around the corner.  It's sort of Halloween for me, because I won a few prizes around World Card Making Day.  I will post a photo of what I receive.  So far I've only received my prize pack from Reminisce paper.  I was Runner Up in a Pin and Win contest.  I got a nice sized box of scrapbook paper, stickers and dimensional sticker. Some of the scrapbook paper is die cut.  There is a huge snowflake, ornament and peppermint candy paper. There is probably more than that I just can't remember it at the moment.  I had to take two photos to get all of it in and really the photos don't show all.  

I have been busy creating inventory for an upcoming craft sale.  It is called Gifted Marketplace and will help to support the Eau Claire Children's Theater.  Mitch, my oldest, has been involved with ECCT since last year.  He's been in Camp Rock, Footloose, Legally Blonde and is rehearsing for Peter Pan right now.  You can check out Gifted here on Facebook. So if you are in the Eau Claire area, stop on out and do some holiday shopping.  It will be at the Oxford Theater Nov. 16 and 17th.  Which is also the weekend of Peter Pan, so I guess I will go either opening night or Sunday.  

Here are some of the creations I've made.  I have never made a set of 3x3 mini cards until a couple of weeks ago and now it seems that I'm on a roll. Smiles. I've also made boxes to store the cards in.

I must say nestabilities, SRM stickers and pretty paper make it easy to create these little cards.

Thanks for stopping by.  I hope you have a wonderful weekend and fabulous Halloween!
