Successful Christmas Craft Fair

My Husband helped me with a Christmas Fair this past weekend. It was very successful. The people who attend these craft fairs are the nicest people. We sold out of our Nutcracker gift boxes, our hersey bar stocking stuffers and sold a lot of our lighted frames which measure 9x9. Lots of our gnomes were sold too! Here are some photos of a closer look at some of the items that were in our craft fair.

Sisters Designs are my twin sisters and me. They were celebrating their 70th birthday at Disney so they weren't able to attend but I made them a Disney card for the occasion. My other siblings all contributed to their birthday gift which, of course, were gift cards to use at Disney! Happy Birthday Chris & Connie!

More November Birthdays

This style card is called a vertical stepper card by Mixed Up Crafts/Sam Calcott. She always does a great job explaining her projects that she does. I made this for a friend you loves fairies! I hope she likes it!

One of my favorite style card to make is a card in a box! This birthday card is for my sister-in-law. Her birthday was just before Thanksgiving and she loves wine like me. I found all these sayings on Pinterest and had a ball putting this card together. Now that Thanksgiving is over and we are into the Christmas season, I am getting ready for one last craft fair this weekend. It is a 2-day craft fair in South Portland, Maine. My husband is going to help out since my sisters are vacationing in Florida. Hope we have a good turn out. Here is a picture of our table that we set up a couple of weeks ago to see what we should bring. Let the Christmas fun begin!

November Fun!

I was asked to make a card for a friend who has a friend who has a milestone birthday in November! The big 70! I have done a card in a box before with the same theme but this was it was all about being 70! He is a grandfather who likes to play games with his grandchildren. I love it when I had a themed birthday card!

My sisters and I are gearing up for a craft fair this Saturday in Portland, Maine at the Italian Heritage Center. This is one of the items that we will have for sale. These "race track" luminaries are fun to make. It definitely is a time consuming process but I loved how my nautical one came out. There are tutorials for these luminaries on Pinterest. We have about 3 or 4 of them to sell. It is tempting to keep this one, though! Here are a few more pictures below from different angles.

We set up a couple of weeks ago in my garage for the craft fair to see how it will look. Below are a few pictures of what you will find at our tables there. Happy November everyone!

Successful Christmas Craft Fairs

Here is our set up from the Windham/Raymond Christmas Fair that was at this past weekend at the Windham High School in Windham, Maine.  We also did the Italian Heritage Center's Christmas Fair in Portland, Maine the weekend before so we have been very busy.  We had so much fun, meeting new people who were so kind with all the nice comments.  My sisters and I thank each and everyone of you that turned out for both fairs!  We did very well and enjoy every minute of it.  My sisters and I are already thinking about next year and some projects that we want to do.  We have a few special orders that we need to complete in the next week so we are still busy making things.  My next project is making my Christmas cards for family and friends!  Again thank you to the volunteers and customers that we met at each fair!  Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!

October is here!

Coasters

My son's birthday is this month and I wanted to make him some coasters for his new apartment with pictures that I have taken this past summer from the coast of Maine. They came out great! They are in the mail and he should get them tomorrow!  Clockwise the pictures are Portland Head Light, Pemaquid Lighthouse, Five Islands and the 4th coaster is also Five Islands. ( I think the seagull wanted to join us for lunch that day) 

Eric's birthday card

Inside Eric's birthday card

I did a diorama with acetate and kept with the lighthouse theme for a birthday card.  I used a combination of SU stamps and dies with graphic 45 paper.  I can't believe my son will be 36 years old next week.

Lighted Frame

Another project that I just finished the other day, is this sleigh with presents.  I just added some glitter paper. sentiment  and, of course,  lights! How fun is this! This is just a sample of the lighted frames that my sisters and I will be selling at our craft fair next month.  Below are a few pictures of our set for the craft fairs.  We will be at the Italian Heritage Center on Saturday November 2nd and Windham High School on Saturday, November 9th and Sunday, November 10th.  We are ready!!!  I'm sure you will find a gift for a loved one!!

Christmas Cones

Snowman

 My sisters and I are doing a couple of craft fairs in November of this year and this is a new craft project that Chris saw on Pinterest so the 3 of us decided to give it a try.  It is called Kimekomi. In one of the tutorials that I watched she did say that you get better the more you do and I think she is right.  This is the first one I did and I had to take out quite a few panels but I do like the final result.  I found the template for this one on  Pinterest and used fabric that I already had.  It is 15 inches tall and would make a beautiful centerpiece for a table or just a fun keepsake!  I am going to make a Santa one next and hopefully a gingerbread house and boy!  I have some ideas so need to get busy finding some templates.
