I apologize to my readers for not blogging for a few weeks. It could not be avoided.
This fall has been extremely unpredictable..and very traumatic for our family, due to some unusual and totally unexpected and upsetting happenings. Things are looking brighter now, so hopefully I'll be able to keep up with my blogposts.
If you are a subscriber to my monthly newsletter, you are aware that our family has been through some tough ordeals of late.. and you learned about some of the classes I held and that I was once again participating in some craft fairs this holiday season. (if you are not a subscriber to my monthly newsletter, you can easily become a subscriber by adding your email address to the link on the upper left sidebar). As a subscriber, you will also currently receive any remaining weeks of my exclusive Twelve Weeks of Christmas Projects Events posted every Wednesday.
Thanks so much to my customers and others for your patronage who came out to see me last weekend for our Fourth Annual Mistletoe Market Craft & Consultant Fair Event at my church-First Presbyterian Church of Franklin in Sussex County NJ.
I did very well there, and am looking forward to my next craft fair at Wallkill Valley High School in Hamburg on December 4.
I meant to take to a picture of my table...but totally forgot, or I would include that here on this blog post! I was busy most of the day with customers, so it went right out of my head..
I love doing this fair at my church, because not only does it help our church, but I really enjoy making projects for Thanksgiving, as well as Christmas.
THANKSGIVING BLESSING MIX JARS for sale!
I created my own version of the Thanksgiving Blessing Mix as a JAR instead of a baggie project (which was what was originally created several years ago) and it has always been popular at my shows ever since! It makes a terrific Thanksgiving Hostess Gift! I was inspired by the idea originally shared online on this site and I change it up a bit each year, based on what Stampin' Up! Designer Series Papers I have on hand. I've used other ideas from others which I shared in previous years and have modified. This year, I was trying to use up some of last years papers...but also added some from this year-unfortunately I didn't take a pic of them...so here are some views of those using last years papers with different ribbons:

(this fee can be adjusted per your state laws). Blessing Mix Jar is $6 (plus add priority shipping & handling of $6.50 per jar).
Please email me or call me no later than November 16th and include the state I'm shipping the order to. Orders limited to the United States only.
