Keep On Truckin'

So Friday Funday was a success.  I’m definitely glad I took the day off, it really jump started some of the inventory.  I managed to get a fair amount done AND was able to actually get some schoolwork done.  So what exactly did I do you ask? 

12 Light Switch Covers (4 Sheet Music, 2 Comic, 3 Kids Books, and 3 Monopoly Money) 

50+ Paint Chip Notebooks (which will be a free gift with every sale)

8 Misc. Notebooks (which are prepped and need to be bound)

200 Notecards (which still need to be typed)

That’s just the tip of the iceberg!  I also put stickers inside every notebook to direct people to my etsy site.  I started typing some of the notecards with Disney quotes and cute sayings to turn my envelopes into a stationary set.  While I have the typewriter out, I’m going to type all the bag toppers for packaging of the gift tags, guitar picks, and stationary sets.  Things are really starting to take shape and I’m getting pumped.  A little anxious but mostly pumped.  I think I will feel better when the etsy site goes live.  I’m working on that to take place in two weeks.  This week is practically a wash because of midterms and bridesmaid duties to make this bridal shower go off without a hitch on Sunday.  A warning to crafty people: your friends WILL recruit you when it’s time to make place cards, wine labels, and anything else you can imagine.

I decided I will have a sign-up sheet for an e-mail newsletter.  To make it more enticing I will randomly select one person who signs up to win what I’m dubbing to be the Board Game Prize Pack.  The random winner who signed up will receive a Scrabble Notebook, Monopoly Property Deed Notebook, Community Chest notebook, and Life Career Card Notebook.  It’s a $20 value so hopefully it will be enough motivation to put your name on the line.

So that’s where I am right now.  As a side note though, this blogspot thing is crazy.  I never imagined people would actually read my musings, yet alone people in outside countries.  The power of the almighty internet.  That being said, those of you who are reading, feel free to comment.  What would you buy?  What types of recycled crafts have you seen done before?  Any tips for a craft fair rookie? Or just say hello, I’d love to hear from you guys!
