Church Craft Fair

Saturday was the annual Women's Christmas Brunch and Craft Fair at my church. Once again, my Mom and I each had tables featuring some of our handmade goodies. I sold many of my paper crafts and gifts while Momma was selling her fleece blankies and scarves. We had a good day and a great time. 


I totally forgot about taking pictures until the table was really picked over and messy so I didn't even bother at that point. My best seller was by far the snow bars, which are covered candy bars. I actually increased the price of them this year since the price  of candy bars went up. Next year, I need to make like 50 of them. I did take a picture of a single, lonely candy bar......

Shortly after this picture was taken, he found a home. 


Snowman soup, the mini teacher pails, the chalkboard ornaments, and the pencil packs also sold very well. 


Another successful year. 

Christmas Craft Show Recap and Photos

Saturday my Mom and I each had tables in our church's annual women's Christmas craft show and brunch.We did great and sold lots! I really didn't want to have to lug all that stuff back home and I was so excited when I was able to condense what was left into one laundry basket!  

I thought I'd share pics of some of the goodies I made and a few shots of our tables.

The Gift Tea

As many of you know, I belong to a Tea Ministry at my church. Each month, different ladies host a tea with a theme and small decorations. My Mom also belongs to this group and had signed up to host the May tea so of course, I helped.

My Mom came up with the theme of God's Gifts since the "program" portion of the May tea always revolves around the Secret Sipper (think Secret Sister) reveal. She did most of the work for this tea and came up with using simple boxes decorated with ribbons and bows so they look like presents. We added a little tulle to the middle of each table and nestled the gifts in the tulle. Our favors were decorated candy bars. (Decorating candy bars is one of my new fave things to do. Odd I know!) I added a tag with one of my favorite quotes, “What you are is God’s gift to you, What you become is your gift to God." 

I was also very proud of my Momma as she gave an abbreviated version of her testimony which includes some hard things she went through during her life. 

Here are some of the tables set up with the centerpieces........
