Update

We have done 2 boutiques in the past and today our first swap meet. In all honesty, we didn't do soo well at any of them. BUT it gets us to build up our inventory and our etsy takes off and does awesome each time.

So from now on, for quite some time, we are not going to do any more boutiques or swap meets and just keep up with etsy. We have been doing pretty good with etsy, especially with getting SLAMMED around Christmas.

We all are still sewing and enjoying it so much. We keep trying to come up with new stuff, because we will get sick of crayon bags, and so we will rotate to the busy book. Get tired of that, and rotate to Tag-Along-Tales.

So yeah, we are still keeping busy and will try to keep you updated. We will be having another give-a-way sometime in the near future, hopefully with better luck than our "Christmas" one.

We also will be having offers and savings on here!

Hope everyone has a WONDERFUL weekend!

give a way WINNERS!!

TOTAL SHOCK

Wow, I am just so amazed and shocked. We have sold almost 70 crayon bags total! I can not believe it. When we first started figuring out the pattern and making it up as we went, and then put them on etsy, we didn't think they would be anything huge. They took almost a month to start "taking off." Then out of nowhere they just would sell by two's. Etsy so is so much fun and so addicting!

We at first were doing stuff everybody else was making and selling, and didn't do very good at all. Now that we have our own unique design that no one else has, it is just crazy!

We have our next show coming up soon, and then I think after that show we are going to do a fun Christmas give-a-way! So stay tuned for that!

Have a wonderful week everyone! I am so excited for Thanksgiving. All our family will be here! They are all going to come into town and we are going to have so much fun catching up and seeing how fast the nieces and nephews have grown!

In case I don't update by then, HAVE A HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
