The holidays

While the holidays bring joy and happiness, they also being out of town company. The joys of someone starting to unload the dishwasher then leaving it and not saying it's clean and someone else putting dirty dishes in. 

But the joys on people's faces when they get their gifts is priceless. That's one of the best parts. Along with all the family time. We tend to play Mario Kart a lot. It's  one thing that cuts the tension out of the rushing around of the season. Plus it's just dang fun. 

Throw in the towel or use it as a scarf

There are times when you know you should throw in the towel on something but don't want too. I feel like that with running vendor events. I have put on 6 in the past year with a friend. I thought I wanted to stop and had said so. But now I'm like I want to keep giving it a try. 

I fee like rather than throwing in the towel I'll wear it as a scarf and keep trying. I feel like I just haven't found the right venue. I know I have talents that could put on an awesome event but after a day like today I feel like the towel should be thrown. 

I will have my website live in the next week or so which will be directly related to vendor/craft shows and direct sales and crafters. Maybe that's where I need to focus my attention. Prior to planning events I passed on event info as I found them to other vendors. I loved doing that. Then I thought I'd plan them. 

So it's time to make the pros and cons list and make the final decision. 

Another installment of Billy Bob

Billy Bob's theatre adventure. 

Laugh Out Loud class

I made the leap and registered for a improv class at Laugh Out Loud.  I've wanted to do it for a few years now but finally got the nerve to do it. It could be interesting in a good way.  It will bring me out of my shell more. Not that I'm always in it.  But on some things I am.

Vendor Events

There is nothing like going to a vendor event.  It doesn't matter if I make money or not, I am out there getting myself and my product out there.  Sometimes I make my money back and sometimes I don't.  The key is knowing that in time something will come out of it.  It could a month later or months later.  I have made some wonderful friends and connections.  I wouldn't change it for the world.

So rather than look at it as a negative make it a positive.  The people you meet are just as rewarding as the money.  Don't get me wrong I go to the events to make money but it is like anything when, you make it a negative thing and you will continue to get the negative things back.  So always make it positive and you will get the positive things back.  Those people I meet are connections to other people who may want my product so be positive and make nice with everybody.

Bungee Jumping

I was thinking about bungee jumping the other day.  I have never done it because I really don't want my boobs to cover my face.  Not to mention the fact that I'd end up with a lemonade shakeup because I'm sure I'd pee myself.  On the other hand it could be the answer to a lot of plastic surgeries and at a cost of the price.  Things would go back into their place.

The Rainbow Loom

I have so many Rainbow Loom bracelets its crazy.  When I started last year I sold them for $1 at vendor events when I was selling candles.  Then I would donate the money to The Prayer Child Foundation.  While I'm still making them, I'm not doing anything with them.  I have been thinking lately to donate them to a children's hospital so that kids can enjoy them.
