Holiday Bazaar and (read the fine print!)

Amy and I survived our first holiday craft bazaar!
We sent our husbands and kids over to my house on Friday night, while I headed over to her house.  We started what we thought would be a quick practice set-up of our table.  After an entertaining run to Craft Warehouse and 4 1/2 hours at it, we finally got it all figured out!  Back up again at 630 the next morning, we stopped at Starbucks and then headed for the bazaar. 
~~~
We had the perfect location...visitors either came to our table first as they entered the gym or last as they left the gym.  There was a decent sized crowd and lots of friendly folks.  We were so luck to have so many familiar faces stop by...thanks so much to our friends and families!

Amy with her awesome creations

A friend's mother was visiting from CA, so she joined us with her beautifully crocheted and felted hats and scarves.

I might be a bit biased, but this little group were my favorite visitors!!

We ended up doing pretty well at the bazaar and have already started making plans for next year.
Luckily, neither of our husbands threatened to have us committed when they heard this!  :)

The Fine Print:
I just noticed that this is my 600th post!  600!!  Even I didn't know that I could babble that much!  :)
So, how about we have a give-a-way?
Leave a comment on this post telling me, well, anything.
I'll have the kids draw a name a week from today and the winner will receive
a little box of goodies from me.
Thanks so much for choosing to spend a bit of your time here on my blog and
at CraftedbyKatieB.

I ALMOST feel guilty commenting because I already own so many of your beautiful creations. But then I would be crazy NOT to comment, right?

Glad it went well! I love the pretty look of your display :)

You are inspiring, Katie. Especially during this time when I don't have opportunity to be crafty -- I can live vicariously through you :-) Love all your stuff! AmyB

Six hundred posts?? WOW! I sure am glad someone invented Blogger (was it Al Gore??) ;) so we could get back in touch after all those years! Love keeping in touch with you. And congrats on a successful Bazzar! Awesome.
