Final Craft Show Pictures...Picture Heavy...Grab a Cup of Coffee/Tea and at least 2 Cookies!

YIKES!

 I am so far behind with posting, visiting and commenting. I've had some orders to finish and because we will be celebrating Christmas with some of our family at Thanksgiving, there have been gifts to make or shop for and wrap. I promised I'd show some more photos from the craft show so here they are with no words. (Really, really hard for me to do!) If you have any questions about anything...just leave a comment! I have several things left if you are interested.

REMEMBER: you can click on any photo to enlarge.

Sorry...just a note...all of the collage boards are 8X8 inches. This next one is my favorite one. I almost kept it but a good friend picked it out for her Granddaughter so I let it go...

I love the pink and aqua and lime...

The banner version...

My table (and wall) at the show...

Some of the orders to fill after the show...

OK then, now you know why you didn't see me for a while.

Several bloggers have commented that there aren't as many people commenting these day and I think that's true.Everyone is busier at this time of year than at any other time and I know that for me, sometimes I will look at someone's post but not take the time to leave a comment. I'm trying to improve on that because I know how much comments mean to any blogger.Many of us are also on Facebook and Pinterest (a time killer if there ever was one!!) We don't want bloggers to give up on their blogs...that has happened to several of my favorites and I miss them. Please remember to leave a comment when you visit...not just here but on anyone's blog. I always love to know when you've stopped by for a visit.

My next post will feature a giveaway featuring something that I've made and a little extra something so please stop back to sign up!

Thank you for stopping by!

In the interest of being honest...this is what my craft room liked the day after the show.

Craftermath...the remains of too many craft projects going on in one place at the same time!

Some Craft Show Peeks

I have been busy for the past month or so, working on projects for the annual Craft Show I participate with every year. The house is strewn with banners and art boards, waiting for ribbon or twine. My craft room is indescribable.....kind of a happy train wreck! Lots of things going on at the same time!

The show is next Friday and Saturday, November 1 & 2.

I haven't been spending as much time as I'd like visiting blogs and websites and David said our life is divided into two sections, BC....before Craft Show and AC...after Craft Show. Most things have been put off until  "AC". Then, I will have time to clean out closets and switch out short sleeved shirts for turtlenecks and light-weight PJ's for the flannel kind I love in the cold weather. For now, I can be found going back and forth between 2 bedrooms as I search for the warm layers we are suddenly needing. OK, enough whining!
 I do want to express my appreciation to my wonderful husband...he has cheerfully volunteered to be the chief cook for the next week. Right now there is a huge vat of his  Vegetable Beef Barley Soup cooking on the stove and the aroma is heavenly! I will return to the kitchen... AC. 

I will share with you some peeks of some of the things I have been working on for the show.
I have been working on some Thanksgiving and Christmas themed collages...these are lots of fun to do!

Banners...these are 2 snowman banners I've most recently been putting together...

(This one is actually 5 panels...Pinterest has been invaluable for the vintage images I love to use!)

(The "joy" die cut is from Dear Lillie, here)
Small art boards...

(This is 5X7 and the image was cut twice and layered.)

David helped with the fork project...

Bending the forks so that they stand level is a little tricky, but he did a great job!
Perfect as stands for the art boards!

OK...just some peeks for now! Hope you enjoy!
