<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Today I have a card that is a CASe of a card done by the amazing Debbie Olson. The first time I saw </span><a href="http://debbiedesigns.typepad.com/muse_and_amuse/2011/02/sunflowers-and-buttons.html" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;" target="_blank">this card </a><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I knew I wanted one for myself. I went with colored pencils instead of copic to color in the fun sunflowers.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">My favorite photo from the week that has all three of my boys. I tried to get a picture of all three of them on the mattresses but as soon as I would get in position to take a picture on of the would be getting up. So I was really lucky to get a couple of shots but this one is my favorite with the boys playing in the background. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I want to say Happy Birthday to my sister. I needed to send her a card so I did the usually and pulled out all of my birthday cards and laid them</span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> out for Z to pick a card for his aunt. As he looked at all of the choices he asked if I had a cat stamp because aunt Mojo would love a card with cats on it. So after thinking about it, I did have a cat. So here is what I made for my cat loving sister.</span></div>

Happy Monday all. Today I have a Congrats card I made for my son's teacher. I've had the Paper Smooches zoo crew stamp
set for almost a year and not used it, so it was high time to get inked.</div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Well, after following </span><a href="http://cathyzielske.typepad.com/" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Cathy Zielske</span></a><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> and watching her inspiring video on her Project life 2012 experience I decided to jump on to the Project Life bandwagon for 2013. I didn't want to say anything on the blog since it was December when I decided to do this and I have a knack for big ideas and not following through. So for the first two weeks I was taking pictures and keeping notes but still intimidated by the whole process but finally I jumped in and you know what, it wasn't so bad. Now I do have some catching up to do but I am feeling really good about this project.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">It feels one good to have week one in the book. And for only being five weeks into the project I can tell you my picture count for this year is going to be much higher. Lets just say that each year when I made the Christmas calendars for the grandparents January is slim pickins for pictures but that is not going to be the case this year.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"></span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Wow the title of this post makes it sound like I love Thursdays, which is not my favorite day of the week (off Friday's- those working 9/80 totally understand what I'm saying) but it isn't my least favorite either(Monday). Rereading the title makes me think of a song by Len, Steal my sunshine where someone shouts Karen, I love you. Wow my mind drifts in crazy directions back to the card I wanted to share. It is a
quick valentines that happens to be one layer.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Oh and on another note I will continue the One layer Wednesday posts this year if you were stopping by to check them out and wondering if they would be back for 2013, cliffhanger no more, they will be back!!! </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Well I am finally ready to jump into crafting in 2013. I was a bit burned out after Christmas and it has taken a while to get back into the swing of crafting again. Now with the mojo back I have been working on Valentine's Day cards. Today I have a card using the Clear and Simple stamps Critter Tagline stamp set. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Today I'm back to share my craft fair recap. (Just be forewarned this is going to be a long one, but there are a lot of pictures too) I participated in a small craft fair that is hosted at my church. This is my second year doing this and it is the only craft fair experience I have. I will say that I did change things up this year a bit after learning a few things after <a href="http://sunnywithachanceofcrafting.blogspot.com/2011/12/craft-fair.html" target="_blank">last year experience</a> which I will go into that in more detail in a bit. First off here is my table set up.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6PhLeKrIl6HG6ug5-xXIAabyFoRnXG9up32QOK8RteiFDp0d6rmej55Azxs4ekVCtuL8ocBNmgAd3hvuGvYtDgznEs3HyoGVfmJ0P55Qxy-c4G9BlvHimOtwtxXJlgLVBSreOWqQkCPQ/s1600/IMG_0209.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6PhLeKrIl6HG6ug5-xXIAabyFoRnXG9up32QOK8RteiFDp0d6rmej55Azxs4ekVCtuL8ocBNmgAd3hvuGvYtDgznEs3HyoGVfmJ0P55Qxy-c4G9BlvHimOtwtxXJlgLVBSreOWqQkCPQ/s640/IMG_0209.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
This year I made a number of changes to my inventory based on last years experience. I added more sewing items likes, tooth fairy pillows (far left side in the green bucket) and more <a href="http://sunnywithachanceofcrafting.blogspot.com/2011/12/ginger-bread-man.html" target="_blank">gingerbread men</a> (one of my best sellers from last year). I also added a few other items: the <a href="http://sunnywithachanceofcrafting.blogspot.com/2012/11/letters-to-santa-kit.html" target="_blank">Santa letter kits</a>, the <a href="http://sunnywithachanceofcrafting.blogspot.com/2012/12/snow-candle.html" target="_blank">snow candles</a>, and sets of Christmas thank yous. I increased the number of <a href="http://sunnywithachanceofcrafting.blogspot.com/2012/12/hot-cocoa-jars.html" target="_blank">cocoa jars</a> since they sold really well last year. But I also cut down on the number of cards and gift tags I brought since they really didn't move last year. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdzrGg6yURr-scVSoSXX5N9V-DTW-420qSUEt5VCNA2qd7ano5_mMA9_WnsmMMM6uETIuPmzqpy3JPn9exZlfT9u6nb0QphuABVn9gITlxHsMFGSYepqBgPR9-NngrL4t6SQ0ja-UplW4/s1600/Craft+Fair+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdzrGg6yURr-scVSoSXX5N9V-DTW-420qSUEt5VCNA2qd7ano5_mMA9_WnsmMMM6uETIuPmzqpy3JPn9exZlfT9u6nb0QphuABVn9gITlxHsMFGSYepqBgPR9-NngrL4t6SQ0ja-UplW4/s640/Craft+Fair+1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: center;">
I also changed up my signage from last year which was down right ridicules. This year I made 3x4 signs in photoshop and used clothes pins and photo clips. I would definitely say it was an improvement to last years in which I typed it on to white card stock in a font too small to read.</div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeuevTORRnfe6seJVv3Xe6AkVZ1l4_BfxJGa5sdhMa08qQHcDb2raVSMEZeY69ZYZf01D0awIIxTeCdHXwqBpjMZh1vaC7iW02B7oQm6D3DUg8rxZ64Yzrg4ux_XeQNUBU6uqW4wNjcXM/s1600/Craft+Fair+3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeuevTORRnfe6seJVv3Xe6AkVZ1l4_BfxJGa5sdhMa08qQHcDb2raVSMEZeY69ZYZf01D0awIIxTeCdHXwqBpjMZh1vaC7iW02B7oQm6D3DUg8rxZ64Yzrg4ux_XeQNUBU6uqW4wNjcXM/s640/Craft+Fair+3.jpg" width="640" /> </a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">This year I also improved the signage for my capes. Last year I found myself unwrapping one and holding it up any time anyone showed the slightest interest. This year I used some picture of my son modeling the cape which I think worked. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8i-tKGqTcZndVyOWPlDPY1bfbM1uGICwha6nPOBrFKRrWKOyqaJZUg-AVS6QGOHBjUVI4jpGl2gtcGqnOnlouo2d-1KFzuPu3ESTL7JY2-g4477TPzKNPV8tRIqLx6R_HPS0DuoUORHs/s1600/Craft+Fair+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8i-tKGqTcZndVyOWPlDPY1bfbM1uGICwha6nPOBrFKRrWKOyqaJZUg-AVS6QGOHBjUVI4jpGl2gtcGqnOnlouo2d-1KFzuPu3ESTL7JY2-g4477TPzKNPV8tRIqLx6R_HPS0DuoUORHs/s640/Craft+Fair+2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I also made a couple of changes on the business side of this operation. I got a square so I would be able to accept credit cards. If you are in any business for your self and have not heard about this you need to check it out. I will say out of all of the purchases of the day I only used it once. The other change was creating an inventory sheet. I used excel and had a list of the item with the price counted how much I had in the morning and at the end of the day and let excel do all of the math. I wish I had done this last year to actually see if I did more or less business this year. But I will continue to use it from here on out.</span></div>
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEVcWY9l57mwcEQpHsdn8XylBWCp0t-XMz7JkqYhMTcJt4r9yLR8e2ozEAaxVBjZOblvYOXKqasBaIq_DBvztKvB3-uhS1wJtiiD7xpYP377aJKt_z8PO4b292ilpoh3evmpVEf09fCA8/s1600/Craft+Fair+4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEVcWY9l57mwcEQpHsdn8XylBWCp0t-XMz7JkqYhMTcJt4r9yLR8e2ozEAaxVBjZOblvYOXKqasBaIq_DBvztKvB3-uhS1wJtiiD7xpYP377aJKt_z8PO4b292ilpoh3evmpVEf09fCA8/s640/Craft+Fair+4.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: center;">
Now after all those changes I sure you are wondering what sold and what didn't. Let me tell you things that I sold out of last year didn't this year and the things that didn't move last year did this year. There is just no way of knowing. Of the new stuff the tooth pillows did okay. The candles did great. I will do both of those again. The Santa letter kits and thank you card sets went home with me. those cocoa jar are like a gold mine. I double the number I brought last year and sold out and could have sold more so I will be upping the number of those. In the end I ended up selling about half of what I brought. which gives me a go start on next year.</div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">If you are looking for some inspiration for some last minute Christmas gifts you have come to the right place.

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">There is two packages of cocoa mix along with chocolate chips and marshmallows with makes a perfect cup of hot chocolate.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Quick tip: this might be obvious to some but I found when I made some of these last year and used card stock for a focal image on the front and that it did not want to stay glued to the curved surface. I tried various adhesive methods but nothing worked so this year I used a sticker sheet and stamped on it and then stuck it to the jar and it worked much better this year.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I have a one more Halloween project to share with you before the big night approaches. I made this Halloween gift for my son's teacher. I used <a href="http://www.papercraftsmag.com/articles/Holiday_Cards___More_Vol__6_Patterns" target="_blank">this tutorial</a> to create the box and lid. I made mine square vs. a rectangle. I was able to tuck 6 Ghirardelli chocolate squares inside. I used regular adhesive to attach the purple pattern paper strip to the lid but used repositionable tape to secure it to the bottom of the box for easy opening for the recipient.</span></div>
