Wild Ride!

Wow... what a wild ride this last month has been! I'm really beginning to wonder how long I can keep this pace up, kids, work, business, more business... and all the while trying to keep my creativity going! I'm definately going to have to find some ways to keep the creativity flowing!
So, last weekend I dove head first into the world of Art & Craft shows and let me just tell you this... I could not have been more pleased with the turn out! I was so nervous, had all the typical first timers fears. "What if nobody likes my stuff, what if I don't sell anything, what if something bad happens like my canopy blows away or some wild gang of purple haired skateboarders decided to use my antique tables as a great ramp!!! ((yeah that last one was such a typical fear of every crafter LOL)) But in the end (and by end I mean 12 hours later) I was overjoyed with the success and response!
If you didn't come see me this is what it looked like. I cant wait until i can buy a nice EZ up with sides!

So in between schmoozing and selling i managed to complete a couple pieces as well:
This is "Crystal Cross", its a beautiful long strand for clear crystal chips with Onyx chips in for contrast. All anchored by a beautiful antiqued sterling flourish cross.
Next is the Pink version of my most popular design, the X's & O's bracelet!!
