The Best Day Ever

First of all, I want to thank each and every one of you who left me sweet comments or sent me kind e-mails wishing me luck at the craft fair. Your thoughtfulness really means alot to me. It is so nice to be encouraged and uplifted by your friends. I feel truly blessed by your friendship!

And because so many of you asked me to post pictures of my booth, I thought I'd share just a few. It really was alot of fun coming up with different ways to showcase my creations. My vision was to create a boutique-like feel...while spending little to no money. The only thing I purchased were the dropcloths and tables. Which I needed anyway for other uses, so I don't feel too bad about that. A necessary expense I guess. Everything else I already had in my house. I just repurposed it for the weekend. (My 3 year old freaked when I took all her toy shelves out of her room!)

Recycled shutters hinged together to hang all of my signs from.






Mini journals.

I love making these...they are just so cute and tiny!

A little tiered tray to hold my business cards. Do y'all remember when I spray painted these ugly rusty garage sale trays?

I've had Christmas on the brain for weeks. I absolutely could not resist making some holiday blocks. Plus, the fair was called "Christmas in July". And ps....I did not see one other Christmas item at the whole fair! What is that all about? It's called "Christmas in July" people!

My back of the toilet basket for holding toilet paper...full of card sets. Is that gross? It's ok, I didn't tell anyone that bit of information.

Ok, I have to be honest here. Apparently craft fairs don't like me 'cause I didn't make a ton of sales. But...like my title says, it was the best day ever. Do you know why? Because I was doing what I love and am passionate about. And the best part of all was being able to spend the entire day with my best friend in the whole wide world. Hubby and I can't even have a 5 minute conversation without being interrupted by those 4 screaming, crying, fighting, adorable kidlets. So being able to have the whole day all to ourselves was priceless. I forgot how funny that man is. He had me laughing so hard at a couple points, I was crying. I could not stop laughing...maybe that's what scared the customers away. I don't know, I'm just sayin. So even though I probably came out in the red, I really don't care.

It was totally worth it.
