And the just like that the holidays are over and it's time to get back to work. I took some time off for the holidays to spend time with my friends and family. I'm so excited for this year. So many new adventures to be taken.

New product coming soon!!

While my mom and I were at a craft show and it was a little slow. We were coming up with new product ideas. I thought about gnomes holding items for the holidays or just general items. Here is just a sampling of some of the design I made. I am making other designs like this and some with sport teams logos. I'm excited to release these.

It is that time of the year again. My family starts to decorate weekend after Thanksgiving which has become our tradition. With having an actual office I can decorate for Christmas this year. I'm going small this year. I have two trees which double as by display for when I do my craft shows and a flag on my door. All of the ornaments are ones that I have made out of resin. I'm not much of a Christmas person anymore but I do love to decorate.

Black Friday shopping trip was a complete success. (These are not all the bags) It was a long day but very fun!! Got alot Christmas shopping done for friends and family but also my etsy shop as well.

It's that time of year!! Preparing for Black Friday.

It's well know my by family and friends that I tend to make list and very detailed about my list (When I do invited for graduation parties I had keys for my list). But i enjoyed my list making. It makes it easier to not forget anything.

Final show for this year!!!

All set up and ready to go for the final show for this year. I will be at Holly Ridge in Chicora. So excited for my first two day show. I also treated myself to a two table set up. Definitely not sure how I fit everything on one table before.

Not all resin pieces turn out perfect.

My mom and I were working on some new products for my up coming show and well this happen. We got a new mold that was part of a kit and we were excited to try it out. This was the first item we try out for the day and then starting working on other items. When I look back at it to see if I needed to torch the bubbles I saw it was overflowing. Usually resin takes 24 hours to harden but this didnt take that long and got very warm. We think it was some sort of chemical reaction to the paint and powders we use. It turn out interesting to say the least.

Another show in the books. I attended my first large show on Saturday where I was one of 170 vendors in a nearby town high school. I was quite surprised with attending this show and the turn out. This town is very small. They actually don't have stoplights and main street is maybe 3 blocks long. But this town is one of my favorite that is near my hometown. Cant wait to attend next year. I have one more show that is two days and then I am done with shows until next year.

Had a nice long weekend with my mom. Not only did we have a fun time at the craft show but went shopping on Sunday and got some new molds and new supplies to try. Monday and Tuesday was filled with crafting especially Tuesay where we played with some new molds. I don't usually work with the resin that is more of mom thing but last night we did resin together and it was a fun time had by all. I forgot how fast resin starts to cure and spilled some resin onto my favorite elephant lounge pants. I'm hoping I can get it out before it stains but we will see. Can not wait to have another long weekend crafting with mom.

Another show in the books.

Had my second craft show on Saturday. It was successful and learning more each show. My mom and I had a lot of fun sitting at my table watching the crowd go by and talkimg about new products and how to change my display up. Had to laugh mom told me I had five minutes to run to the restroom and back to the table. But she went Christmas shopping and left me at the table. Oh well. Fun time had my all. I have two more this month and the craft show season comes to an end. Really excited for the next one it will be my first big show that I will be attending.

Practicing the new setup for my table display for when I do my craft shows. Definitely changing it up from the last time I did a crash show with a whole new display and products which I'm very excited about. I have three craft shows this month and then I will be done with craft shows for this year and I will be starting the new craft show season in 2022. I will be at the Butler Vagabonds, Knoch High School and Holly Point in Chicora.
