The Big Winner

It's been a great weekend so far.  I made out like a bandit yesterday at the Make-A-Wish fundraiser Craft and Vendor show.  I won three raffle prizes, including a Make-Up Eraser, a $10 Gift Certificate from Origami Owl, and a small locket/necklace from Southern Hill.

Now I'm off to the Quarter Mania in Sterling.  I'm really excited to find out what it's all about.  I had to bring three prizes for the raffle.  These are the three I made.

The first one is a gift bag with five cards and envelopes (not pictured).  The second is a lollipop bouquet with a card and envelope. And the third item is a set of 8 cards with envelope.

We'll see how it goes and I'll let you know soon.

Upcoming Events!

It's been a few weeks since I last posted and so many things have happened in my life.  I received a promotion at work which is a good thing, but currently I've had to work many hours.  Due to this promotion, I have passed the papercrafting teaching position at Michaels on to my good friend and fellow scrapbooker, Jessica.  I'm still working for Michaels as her back-up, but I won't be there as often.

This opens up my schedule for more opportunities.  I've been thinking of things I want to do and looking for ideas to motivate myself.  I'm excited to say that I'll be holding more events at my house and I'm venturing into doing craft shows and other events.

My first craft show is a fundraiser in Sandwich, IL, benefiting the Make-A-Wish foundation.  It will be from Noon to 5pm at The Party Lodge on Rt 34.  So come on down on Saturday, July 26th, to check out my booth and all the action.  There will also be raffle prizes up for grabs as well.

On Sunday, July 27th, I'll have a booth at the Sterling Quarter Mania in Sterling, IL.  I know it can be a drive for some of you, but it sounds like A LOT of fun!  I've never been to a quarter mania, so this should be interesting.  It will be held at the Latin America Club from 5pm to 7pm.

I'm also adding events to my calendar at home, including: a Paper Pumpkin Club night, Operation Write Home card making events, beginning stampers classes, and of course my usual card making classes and crops.  Check out my event page for more information.

On the business side of things, you don't want to miss out on the buy three, get one free, Designer Series Paper event going on all of July.
