Craft Fairs and the Holiday Season

Hello, everyone. So it has been 1 week since the 1st annual KWC Craft and Vendor Fair and I got together a few pictures of some of the things that were a big hit with the customers. I love that I was able to put together a few things that were for the holiday season as people we getting an early start to their shopping. These items would be great stocking stuffers, or small tokens of thanks to those you see and work with daily! So here we go (all materials used are CTMH unless otherwise noted):

The first thing that was a hit were these little packs of tissues wrapped in craft cardstock, sweet leaf ribbon, and stamped with cute reindeer/snowman. People were grabbing these...kind of wish I made more than I did.

The other thing that was liked were these lollipop candles I made and wrapped with a simple tag stamped and glitzed with glitter gel. Great gift toppers!!!!!

Here are my favorite bookmarks...great for teachers, librarians, or the other avid readers in your life....again, another great gift topper!

One more idea for ya.....decorate the top of a Ziploc container, fill with crimped, colored paper, and a few K-cups of coffee!!!!! Great for a little Secret Santa gift....

Class: Holiday Gifts on a Budget

Create With Danielle Presents
Gift Giving on a Budget
DATE: November 17th
TIME: 7:00p
LOCATION: My House
MORE: My goal for this class is to teach you how you can use everyday household and home office items and add a little imagination to create holiday gifts or dress up the gift you already purchased.

No need to be a crafter....I am here to show you how.
No need to buy a ton of supplies....I will show you how to take what you may already have and use some CTMH product to make it special and original.
You do need to bring an open mind!

This class will be fun and you will get to create something yourself so you can see how fun and easy it really is.

Do you own a small business or are you in direct sales yourself? This class can give you ideas on how to jazz up your client gifts or monthly specials. Are you a teacher and need a craft idea for your students to create holiday gifts for their families? Well, again, this will inspire you. Local bakers, photographers and other artisans...you too can benefit by getting ideas on how to make your work look more personal and professional at the same time.

There is a $5 fee per person and necessary to reserve your spot. I do have a special running until November 11th. Reserve 1 spot & get 1 spot FREE! If you bring a guest/friend, their reservation fee will be waived. Only one guest per person allowed. That would be like paying $2.50 per person to reserve a spot! Talk about budget friendly! Space is limited so early registration is recommended. Contact me if you are interested in joining us valentino.danielle@yahoo.com Hope to see you!

Let's create together!!!
