My first craft show came and went and I didn't sell a thing.  To be fair, the weather was horrible.  It was forecasted to rain all day and it sure did.  I did have about 2.5 hours of non rainy weather though.  I got a lot a lookers telling me that they were really cute and what a great idea.  I am sure that if I had more time that I would have sold one or more. 

I did run into a couple of problems that I found out during transportation.  I need to find a way to package them better.  I had to "fix" a few clothes pins when I arrived.  I also need to find an easier tent/canopy to put up by myself.  It took four of us to put up the one I had. 

Let's Get This Craft Show Started

Tomorrow is the day! I have everything completed and ready to go. Had a little problem trying to set up the canopy that I will desperately need because of in coming rain.

ALMOST DONE!!

It has been a long couple of weeks working on these boards.  Goods news is that I am almost done!!!

 

 

I started adding the clothes pins to the frames with two different types of glue.  I used Gorilla glue and just tacky glue.  When I first made these I originally used the hot glue gun but it had it's downfalls.  It worked as a quick fix but they pins fell off easily when moving the boards around.

 

I has officially taken over the basement with all of these frames.  I am hoping when I get home from work that they will all be dried and I can place them in the crate and get them off the floor.

 

This one is completely done and ready to be sold.

 

 

 

 

 

4 DAYS LEFT!!

I only have 4 days to get everything finished.  I am pretty sure I can make that happen.  I have completed almost all frames.  Once they are painted the hard part is over. 

 

 

I put the backing into place in the frame and then add the back paper so my mistakes can't be seen.

 

 

Once that is dried, I glue on the paper clips.

 

Can't wait to start selling these and see how useful they are to everyone.
