Booked My First Craft Show

My first craft show with Pink Chihuahua Art merchandise will be at Parcells Middle School in Grosse Point, Michigan. It is very exciting. Even though it is not until December, I need to get a jump on things now so I have enough merchandise. So if your in the area mark December 6th off of your calendar. 
Not too much crafting going on just a lot of working. I have 2 cropping days planned next week and hopefully I can get some clay work done this weekend. Today I will leave you with pictures of some cards that were on display at The Great Lakes Mega Meet.

Scrapbooking At The Tree

I spent Monday scrapbooking at the tree (www.scrapbooktreeandstampgarden.com). I got a few pages done, and had a lot of fun as usual. I worked on 2 layouts. One of the Ann Arbor Art Fair from last year, and one of Cedar Point. I got the Ann Arbor one done, I still have to make a title for the Cedar Point page, and maybe add some more embellishments. I also worked on an accordian album with my brothers graduation pictures. I got the album from archiver's for around 3.00 and then just added some paper, embellishments, and pictures. It's super easy to do and comes out looking pretty darn good for a 3.00. 
The cupcakes, and lollipop are now available in the Etsy Shop. I'm planning on working on new clay figures this week, so check back over the weekend and next week for some new items in Etsy Shop. Have a good day.

It's Officially An Obsession



Did everyone have a wonderful weekend? I did, nice, quiet time at home off from work. Quite the mini vacation. Hope everyone enjoyed the etsy shop feature weekend! I think it turned out well, so I will be doing it again soon. We also hit the 1,000 + site views over the weekend! Amazing! I really would of never thought things would be going this well.
So...now to the real important stuff........The Mega Meet was AMAZING!!! So much stuff to look at and so many people!!!! There were tons and tons of scrapbooking products, from paper and embellishments to kits and storage. It really was AMAZING!! After it was over I thought long and hard about what could of made it better. The only thing I could think of was I wish they would of had more paper instead of embellishments and things. But then I remembered, I left with 250 sheets of paper. YES PEOPLE I BOUGHT 250 SHEETS OF SCRAPBOOK PAPER!!! It really is kind of sick, but I just couldn't help myself. Now the 250 sheets does include stops at the mega meet, archiver's and a store called The Scrapbook Zone. Now I know 250 sheets of paper sounds ridiculous, but I also bought a ton of other stuff, you can see my stash below. I bought some storage containers, folders, embellishments, stickers, boardbooks, a magazine and more. And all I spent was $100! That's it. I got such great deals I couldn't believe it! I wish Mega Meet was every weekend!
So now I am off to The Scrapbook Tree to put my new supplies to good use, and hopefully get some wonderful pages done. Talk to you all tomorrow, have a wonderful Monday!
