Winfield Craft Show was SO AWESOME!!!

I really need to find more Elementary or ANY school craft shows. I made a KILLING on Saturday. My best show yet! Not sure if there was just more variety at the show, because there weren't that many hand made crafters or what, but I made a KILLIN' on Saturday. I sold a memory board, like 10 chalkboard mats, memory boxes, photo frames... I made a photo frame with the school name, colors and mascott on it and it sold like crazy! AND I got a special order for another one also. Awesome!

My next show is Middletown Heritage festival. I have a LONG break June, July, Aug. I hope in the mean time I'll get online purchases. I have someone interested in ordering chalkboard mats for thier childs party! Just FYI I have a 20% discount on 5 or more chalkboard mats! They are normally $10, but are $8 for 5 or more!

So my June is going to be as crazy as my March.

June 2-9 I'm off to Playa Del Carmen, we're staying at the Adventura Spa and Resort. So exciting! It will be our 1 year anniversay....


June 14-17 I'll be in Atlanta visiting my dad for Father's day and my birthday!


June 22-24 I'll be camping in Annapolis! I LOVE roasting marshmellows!



June 29-July 1 I'll be in NY visitng Etsy labs and my sister!!!

Please let me know if you have any new ideas!!!

I want to...Blog all the time..blog all the time... blog all the time!

I can't seem to find the time to blog as much as I should be. May's been a busy Month! Well I guess it started on April 30 when Connor Hopkins Moody was born at 12:18 am!! Too cute!

Ok, so he was the youngest baby I've EVER HELD! He was like 12 hrs old.

TOO CUTE!

We were at Holy Cross Hospital... they had nice big rooms!

May 5 was the Spring Fling Event in Sykesville.

The show went well... I ended up waking up late and I got there at 7:52. The show started at 8. It was a flea market/craft show so it wasn't ALL crafters, but it brought large crowds in. Because it was a flea market, you had to bargain a bit, but it wasn't THAT bad. I sold my memory wedding box, and got a special order for a Mickey Mouse Memory Board.

The wind ended up picking up 1/2 way through the day and knocked over my memory board display and broke it. BUT I found a canopy for $40 and a 15" TV for 3 dollars! The TV was purple, but it matches my pink room perfectly! So I LOVED my buys!!!

Then Sunday May 6 was my Husband's birthday...

Happy Birthday honey! Since he arrived home from Texas that afternoon, we pretty much just lazed around the house and went to Outback for dinner.

We celebrated Mother's Day on Saturday May 12. My sister came in from New York, so we went to That Cuban Place on 300 N Market Street in Frederick with the entire FAM!

AND we had a BBQ cook-out at the house that night for Steve's birthday...

It was a bit stressful, but fun. We had about 30+ people show up for the BBQ. Of course it started raining the second that people started showing up, so I put my new canopy to use. Middletown has a LOT of wind, so we had to tie it down. It was fun! Everyone decided to stand out on the deck, I was afraid of the number of people it could hold, but nothing broke, so I think it's good! :) Timmy and Emily decided to take over the burgers, because I told everyone how clueless I was... but of course when there were 10" flames coming out of the gas grill, Steve took over, but by that time, we were pretty much done with cooking. Most of the people with kids left around 9:30 and the rest left around midnight. My family stayed over and in the morning I had to complete two teacher appreciation gifts for my cousin's teachers.




I couldn't find my camera, so these photos were taken by my camera phone. The photo of the item below was a book. How fitting for a teacher!

Bailey (the pup) LOVES having family over! I think even more then me... he cried on the front steps as everyone loaded into their cars and drove away.
