tagging and pricing.....

Probably one of the most difficult things an artist does is to put a price on your artwork to sell.........( at least for me it is)  I wait til the very last minute!  I have said many many times I would rather just make stuff and never have to price anything!  No easy solution!.....

I hope this coming Saturday Nov. 4 at the Annual Paper Crown Glitter Market you will stop by to see some of the most talented vendors who are local and some who are from other states (Texas)!  The times are from 10-3:00..........even if you are going to the football game what a way to start the day and your Christmas shopping......hope to see you all

( you can also log on to the Paper Crown blog and check out more of who and what will be vending)

for little girls..............

When your dear friends suggest to you " Why don't you make some Little Girl bracelets" , well I said of course I would.......and they have been so fun to make .... And because they were so much fun to make I decided to make a few Christmas ............

Is there not anything cuter than a Little Girl with a fun bracelet on...........just like the Big Girls!!!!

 

Have a great weekend........see you all next Saturday at the Paper Crown 10-3............

 

more on monday....

Well just a little sneak peek into what will be waiting on Saturday Nov. 4 along with a few fun new and old vendors............hope you all come !!!!!

I have been working on these for a while but had to put them away because of preparing for Retreat........so this morning I pulled them back out to try and get them finished and ready for GM.

Happy Monday ................

Giddy Up a little late...........

The bags above were handed out as the ladies left ..........of course you can't have a retreat without a goodie bag.  And Cindy does a great job of filling these with all kinds of goodies for each attendant.

After lunch the girls headed back downstairs to the classroom for our last class with Bobbie.  She had these banners with Western THeme ready for the gals to stitch away and add their own touch to each and every corner.....

 

Miss Amy is our official checker outer.........without her we could not handle all of the shopping that is done during the weekend!  She keeps us all in line....Thanks Amy for taking care of all our shopping needs........

Every Retreat has an ending and I think the photo above tells it all............. fun times and many memories!  

I know we all want to Thank Cindy for always making sure each and every detail is 100% perfection and everyone goes away feeling like they have experienced another Paper Crown " Happy Place" retreat like no other. I know I probably speak for each of the teachers that we always have so much fun in planning and preparing for each retreat.  Like I have said many many times that we have the best "Boss" anyone could ever have.  Cindy has always been so supportive of any ideas we have and lets us just do our thing. We always look back and say I think this was the best one yet and I do think this was the best one for so many reasons..................Thank You to all who travel from afar and near to attend.  Your smiles and love you show are always the highlight of each retreat . Many friendships that will last a lifetime have been made from attending these retreats . We all can't say thank you enough to Cindy for the vision she had many years ago for starting this Paper Crown tradition!  THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!

 

(Just a side note to let you all know that my mom is home from the hospital and doing okay.........we did find out and thankful that it's not her heart . She still has some issues and we are

dealing with those  hopefully this week.  Thank You all for your concern and prayers this week)

 

Hope you all have a great weekend............

continued Giddy Up this weekend..........

Because of some family issues I will be a little bit slower to finish our Fall retreat weekend until this weekend.......sorry for the delay but family comes first!  I know you all understand!
