PSA Thursday

When you get invited to a show or outing and the person who invited you didn't ask you to cover the price of the ticket or admission. It would be polite to at least offer to buy them a drink or something before, during or after the event. Kindness wears down on people and they need to be offered some in return otherwise it will fade.

Helpful Donations

Hey Everyone! As you may remember from my last post, I got into Craftstravaganza, a one day craft fair at the end of April. I'm super excited, but I'm also worried about the cost. The cost for the space, getting tables and display supplies plus the cost of materials to make product is adding up fast!

Here's where you, my loyal fans and friends, can help me out! You know that shirt you have in the back of the closet, the one that doesn't fit anymore or has maybe a couple holes in it, but other then that it's still in pretty decent shape... Well I'm looking for those kinds of shirts. Jersey knitted ones (that stretch), so I can make some of my necklaces.

I'm going to list all my sponsors/donors not only here on my blog, but also if you would like in exchange a felt fortune cookie or mustache key chain I would he happy to make you one.

Here's what I'm looking for the left and center t-shirts will work, they are plain, or mostly plain, stretch and it's nice that they don't have side seams. The right one is an example of one that won't work, it has a felted/texture to it that wont stretch. But I'm happy with what ever you are willing to part with... If I don't use it, you could have it back or I'll donate it to the Steele County Clothesline.

If anyone has any other thoughts/idea/suggestions I'm happy to hear them. I've never done a craft fair, so I'm learning a lot. I already have a mannequin that a friend is letting me barrow and my mom is getting some tables and I'm using the Cricut at work to make my sign, so if you have any other ideas, let me know.

I'm also be in the market for more felt, beads of most kinds, cheap displays or DIY ideas for them.

PSA Thursday

I'm starting a new segment called PSA (Public Service Announcement) Thursday. It's just my rants on common sense stuff, some to do with politeness others from personal experiences. I hope you at least take a moment to read them and maybe it will make at least someone out there a better person. Thanks!

PSA #1
If someone leaves/sends you an email, message, text, etc. please have the courtesy to reply. Even if it's a negative response, it's better then not replying at all. I'll admit, I can see exceptions to this idea, but for everyday friends and acquaintances it would just be more polite.
