I have been browsing the craft pages and have found so many professional beaders lately. I am so jealous of your beautiful artwork and eye for color. I used to play with beads a lot when I was a kid. It might be time to try out that craft again. Oh, ladies, your work is Gorgeous!
If you have something wonderful to show me with the craft work you do, leave me a comment and I will come check it out. Free advertising is always the bomb!

I had to pleasure of meeting the owner of a great chime business today and I knew I had to share their product with you all. These are not your normal grocery store tinkling chimes. These are harmonious, beautiful sounding musical chimes. Grace Note Chimes is the name. What an awesome small business this is, starting from craft shows.
Do yourself a favor and check out their site. What an awesome gift for someone special, like you!

A lot of towns do big 4th of July events where booths and tables of homemade items are encouraged to be displayed. What a great time to get your name out in the community when so many are out and about for the festivities.
My town always does a big parade with food booths, craft booths and info booths as well. The whole day has festivities, concerts and fireworks at the end. Some of the best sellling items used to be the princess tiaras with tons of ribbons floating down the back as well as princess wands too. Things eveole and our crafters always have some great new ideas each year so it will be interesting to see what is the hot items this year.
