Craft Show Crazies

Ok, quick little update on my craft booth progress! I've taken a few instagram pics (I've decided to get an ipod upgrade so I can use Instagram more; right now I'm using a tablet, which is pretty clunky & inconvenient), and I've made a LIST. My favorite thing!

Here are the bare bones of my booth:

And my "sale" box, haha! All cards (except Mother's Day) half off at the booth!

And my growing pile of upcycled envies, which I will probably start selling in the Etsy shop when all this is over.

Stationery display!

Cute cardboard cloud cut outs I made for my backdrop.

My thrifted fabric banner in progress...

Still to do:

• Finish the banner
• Make a few paper garlands
• MAKE MORE ENVELOPES
• Rest & relax before Saturday!!

I think I can manage all that in the next few days. :) I'm getting excited!!

I'll post about the show on Monday, but I'm not sure if you'll get another blog post out of me until then! On Sunday (Mother's Day) we are going down to Santa Cruz to check out a potential housing situation. I believe I have failed to mention on here that we chose UCSC as Jamie's graduate school and we will be moving there at the end of July! Yay! Today's weather in Chico reminds me of Santa Cruz... cold, misty & overcast! In a word, glorious. ♥

Wish me luck for this weekend!

Insta-envy

Ok, I am seriously considering buying a used iPod touch, JUST so I can use freaking Instagram. Look how beautiful it makes my washi tape look! I've been using it occasionally on Jamie's tablet, but I'm not going to carry that thing around with me everywhere (I think Jamie would object). Ya'll would definitely see more in-progress shots on my illustrations & show and mail posts from me if I had Instagram at my convenience...

But the anti-consumerism side of me (the weak and underfed side) wants me to wait a couple of weeks to decide... although I HAVE been wanting instagram-powers for a few months... hmmmm...

Decisions decisions... tomorrow I begin craft show insanity! If I had Instagram I would flood you with pictures. I will try to keep updates coming via text & photo despite my lack of fancy apps!
