queen bee!

I have some exciting news.

It was buried deep in a post awhile back.

But I'm going to participate in my first Queen Bee market.

I had hoped to attend one before participating.

But alas, it looks like I'll be doing both at once!

And it's just a little under two weeks away.

Won't you join me?

Doing this is a strange sort of cycle of life,

taking me back to attending and participating in

craft fairs with my mom.

She was and is a skilled crafty lady and 

instilled a love for crafting in me at a very young age.

I loved going to the fairs.

Only this is even better.

It isn't old school 80's style.

It's hip, and fun, and loaded with

things I know I'll ooh and ahh over.

So doing this had been a little wish of mine.

But the timing never seemed to work out.

I could have let that happen again.

But I realized the timing really is never just right.

And life is always pretty full.

I prayed about it, I talked it over with my husband.

And we decided to just go for it.

So I've been staying up a bit too late

and working away on the weekends

to add new items and building my booth.

I've had little helpers...soon I'll do a post on that.

But I don't want to give away too much.

I started out with an original idea that

has sort of morphed into a more manageable one.

Isn't that always the case?  

But I still am really happy with it.

Here's a little sneak peak of some of the items

and set up ideas I've been playing around with for the market.

If you're in the area, I  hope you might

visit and stop by to say hello!

I'm so excited to meet other kindred spirits

and do some shopping myself.

Mother's day is just around the corner.  :)
