Whew....craft fair went very well

well, as i mentioned in my last post, i did my first every craft fair today. it was awesome! it is very validating to have someone other than family like my paper crafts (and to pay for them too). everyone was very nice and had wonderful things to say about the items i sold. i received a lot of good feedback on the booth design and display set-up (thanks jenn and michael). i was told time and time again that my items were unique looking, beautiful etc. it was wonderful to hear such nice things from total strangers.

today was a testing ground for products. it helped me determine what people were buying and what to make more of for the next time. and, yes, there will be a next time...thank goodness.

thank you to all the people who purchased my paper crafts. thanks also to jenn d. for helping me and being my "cheerleader" for the day. she's so sweet. and finally, thanks to my husband for convincing me that i should sell my creations.

here is a picture of the table display.
