Charts have been made (I did not do that). Vendors are set up (I didn't do that either). Posters are up. (I had a hand in that!). Postcards are out. (That was my children.) E-mail blast have been sent out. Wait...I didn't do that either.....WHY am I SO dang tired!!!!!!
It's all good.
Come on 2nd Friday....Bring It On! Our event is planned, the ball is beyond rolling.
And on top of all of the stuff above (that I didn't do), I am going to tell you it's HARD being the mother of a Debut Artist. Cole is getting edgy about 2nd Friday. I have to keep reminding him he needs to make more art, that it's a TWO day sale and now we're at the point of pricing his items. He has NO concept of money (he's just a kid!) so it's a struggle. I will say "2.00 for that" and he'll say "I was thinking 8.00". Really? Then he'll say "3.00 for this" and I will say "That is more of a 10.00 items" and he'll say "Are you nuts?"
You DO see why my days have felt so long...right?
I took him to SCRAP(again) to get the juices flowing...he's on FIRE with these tiles he is making. And they are FUNNY. He scored some paint, more Photo shop books and I scored old music sheets for crafts. That never gets old. I will be buried with dictionaries and sheet music 50 years from now...the kids shaking their heads and shrugging the entire time...
Check out the loot he scored!
Big tiles, little tiles and he now has 10 big tiles finished as well as5 medium and 8 tiny tiles. Dude is workin' hard! He is earning those Slurpees!
He has some adorable crow art he's working on....I might buy this stuff! But don't tell him that....
On the Poppy & Ivy front (oh yeah....we have a shop....) I received my Old Wood Sign order JUST in time! This companyis fantastic. Family owned and the BEST to work with. I have done 5 orders with them and every one has been great. It's a company I enjoy signing a Visa with VERY much. They refuse to sell their signs for more or less than you do and they ask the same in return. They personalize signs...for example the signs I ordered said "Vermont Shores" or "Atlantic Ocean" in the catalog...but I can make it say anything. (I am magic!) I did a few Oregon Coast, Portland waterfront and Oregon golfing signs. One Maui thrown in for good measure!
Back to 2nd Friday chart making. Actually....I just stand behind John and watch...he's the graphics whiz. I say "I like that"..."Oh....don't like that". Planning a 2nd Friday is JUST like marriage.
Happy Thursday night!
