Successful craft fair!

What a great day yesterday! I had great fun chatting and meeting a lot of amazing people yesterday at the Bonsor Community Centre craft fair in Burnaby yesterday. Thank you everyone who came by to say hi!
Here's a picture of me and my first handmade craft table.

And a closeup of my goodies before the table was rummaged through by great shoppers.

And how did my mustache candy do?! They were enjoyed by so many and were gone in a jiffy! I loved putting smiles (and mustaches) on people's faces with fun free goodies!

Care for a 'stash?

And the reveal of all those mustaches I stamped yesterday!

Bridal shower

It's been a crazy week! My dog's been sick and has kept me up most of the night with his goose-sound coughs. It's been an overwhelming week.

I also had a late last minute request to do a bridal shower workshop. I had to put together fun projects, name tags, and a tips for the bride book. Here's what I put together quickly using the bride's wedding colors and style.

If you are interested in a DIY wedding or handmade invitations, please visit my Wedding page for more details.

Happy Movember!

It's that month again! Movember!
And who says women can't do anything mustache worthy in the disturbing month of overgrown mustaches and beards?

Stay tuned for another mustache announcement coming up soon! Pin It now!
