Index card art

What is index card art? Exactly what it says. It's art created on an index card. I originally called these snark cards but not all have been snarky but they all go to work with me and hang on my table to make me laugh. I really need extra laughs to get through my day any more.

Every day I change the card and so far I haven't used the same one twice. I have quite a few of these done so I'll show you three of them today.

I'm still doing my art journal too. These are just little extras that are mostly quick to do. Like my art journal though, I use all different things to make them. Markers, colored pencils, paints and inks have all been used to make these.

What I saw and what I bought

While I was sitting around at the craft show I noticed a little white guy standing in the shade. I think Duke must have sent this guy to check on me and wish me luck for the weekend.

Debbie pointed out this necklace to me on Saturday.  Finally on Sunday I couldn't resist it calling my name and bought it for myself. We've had a space next to Cindy of Creative Crafting Corner LLC for a few years now and it's always a pleasure.  I think I've bought something from her every year.

So this will be the end of posts from the 2015 craft show. Starting tomorrow I'm back to whatever I can dig up to post about. I honestly have quite a lot to blog about but don't know what to start with first.

Pymatuning Lake Festival 2015

I don't have a whole lot to show you because honestly our items haven't really changed from last year. Let me just say it was a gorgeous weekend. We could not have asked for better weather. It was warm and sunny all weekend long and not one drop of rain. Temperatures were mid to high 80's.

Debbie and I have been wanting to get a picture of the two of us standing in our booth for a couple years now and we always forget. Sunday morning we finally remembered. We had Cindy, who was in the next booth take a picture for us.


Now we just need to get one where I don't look like a tubby midget with big arms and bad hair :) It was hot setting up and I forgot I had my hair clipped up. Oh well, that's me. Oh and I'm not wearing a black skirt those are capris.

And here's one of just the booth

What's that sign you ask? Well here let me give you a closer look. Isn't this awesome? Debbie had this made. We are officially Crow Cabin Creations. Debbie is the brains of the operation and I just make stuff.

Since neither one of us did much crafting over the past year we gave ourselves a little challenge. So that we will have new items for next year, each of us will pick one new thing to make each month. For the entire month we'll make as many of that item as we want or have time for. Hopefully it will get me more motivated the next twelve months to be creative.

Oh and you're probably wondering how I did sales wise. Well lets just say I won't be retiring any time soon but I didn't lose any money on the weekend. As far as I'm concerned, whether sales are good or bad, if I had fun it was a successful weekend and I did have fun.

I'm baaaaaaaaack

What a great weekend it was. I still have to weed through the pictures and get them ready for the blog but by tomorrow I should have that done.
Today will be unpacking and cleaning and a bit of resting up to go back to work tomorrow.

As soon as I have a few cups of coffee to get me going it's off to unpack the car and get busy putting things away. But first Gibbs says I need to toss the ball around.
