I made this for a friend - she received it today, so now I can show it :)
Handcrafted vintage-style journals and all that goes into creating them! May also include bits of my life, my family, my friends, and my other art forms!

Oh well 1st craft sale was a bust!
I sold 1 canvas (and that was to another vendor!)
The sale was not at a great location and not at all advertised.
There were barely more than a dozen people that came through, and many of them were MY friends & family :)
My sis H drove almost 2 hours to come spend the day & night with me.
My friend K drove about an hour to come visit.
My friend L and her husband come to visit and check out the show.
My brother G and sister inlaw L drove about an hour to come visit.
My nephew's girlfriend C came to check out the show & visit.
And my friend's daughter C came to help out (not that we were busy or anything) :)
It was more of a family reunion that a sale.
Although I have known my friend K for almost 8 yrs through a work from home contract we did together, and we speak on the phone often, I had only met her once in person - yesterday was the 2nd time. :)
I also hadn't seen my sis H for a few years and she has never been to our new (almost 5 yrs now) house.
All in all, it was a fun day with friends & family and I did make a few connections for possible future shows, so all is not lost.
I did not however, recoup my $25 table fee, oh well.
