Scrapfest

Hello all!

Well it's all over, and what a great time we had!  Don't get me wrong it was a lot of work, but oh so worth it!

Our booth was beautiful, we had so many lovely comments from customers and other vendors alike!   We learned so much and have even started a list of things to prepare for next time.

Our booth was super busy!  We sold out of so many things, and took orders from what will now be new customers.

We even had to restock our shelves Friday night!

We met up with old friends and made some new ones!  Our draw prize had more entries than we cared to count, that was awesome!

 
We had a fun and funky 'make and take' at our booth on Saturday morning, run by the beautiful Casey from Westcott, with help from her dad, John, also of Westcott.  (Thank you to them for that.)

There was a huge, huge crop going on behind the scenes... several of the ladies popped over to shop for necessities (ie. anything scrapbooking related hehehe).

One lovely lady even came back to show us the layout she created with her purchases!  Thanks Ann, your layout is beautiful!

Personally, I got a real thrill out of how many people asked to photograph my designs, you can't image what that does to my heart!

I promised to share the name badges that I created for us to wear at Scrapfest, check them out....

The instructions for the fan-fold flower is here, and then I just layered circles on a scalloped circle, with a computer printed name and a flower embellishment.

Anyway, on behalf of the beautiful owners ......

...... I would like to send a huge thank you to everyone that made our weekend a success, from Lisa Sales Furtney the gracious owner and organizer of the event - and her attentive staff, the kind vendors that came to say hello and left a compliment behind (and a few of you even sent a customer or two our way), Westcott for providing our 'make and take' and for giving us a big shout out during a class, and the many, many customers that visited our booth and left with a little something that you will add to a project you create with heart.  This is a fairly new business for us and we are still in the learning phase, and we want you to know that we appreciate each and every one of you for sharing your knowledge, your kindness, your creations and your hard earned dollars with us.  THANK YOU! We can't wait to do it again!

Laura, Anita, Elaine and Eileen
