My First Craft Show A Success!


There was a lot of prep work that went into my first craft show and it was such a great experience, but I am exhausted! Can I sleep now? :)

It was strange having my cards on display for everyone to see. I've never done that before! Lots of people stopped by and complimented me on my cards which was so nice to hear! And I couldn't believe how quickly I sold out of pillow boxes! I don't think I even took a picture of the ones I created (shame on me!). They are handy little things to stuff candies or gift cards in there. Note to self: make more pillow boxes next time!

Congratulations to Nicola!! She is my draw prize winner of 6 handmade birthday cards! I'm sending them in the mail for you Nicola! Way to go.

Of course, I must mention that it wasn't the best day to have a craft show because it was snowing!! I think Vancouverites were not willing to go out in the cold. And to be honest, I probably would have stayed curled up in bed with hot chocolate if I had the choice. Some of the other crafters at the Urban Artisan craft show had been there for a few years in a row and they said it was a slow year.

If you know of a craft show in your area, let me know! I'm looking for new ones all the time!
