Ready, Set ....



Getting ready for my first craft show in about 2 years has turned my house into a disaster area!  Pulling all the display pieces out.  My always helpful daughter pricing. Organizing. Deciding at the last minute that we should change the color scheme for this show ... GO?

My Huge Sign
Bistro Set and Display Trellis


Boxes! Tables! Tent!

You have to have a narrow butt to sit down now!
Stacks leaning everywhere!


Well, I also have stuff to sell!  Trying to get all of that organized, priced and packed for a safe ride in the truck also takes up a mess of space!  (Yes, we say 'mess' instead of 'big' or 'a lot of' in the south!)
First layer of ornaments.
Layer number two.

These are very transparent.
Look beautiful when placed over one of the lights on your Christmas tree!
These have some transparency too.
They turned out looking like camo, but the original design came from
the year I saw a green, brown and gold tree at Cracker Barrell.

I had a cross-making craze for a little while.  I love them!

Ring Bowls
All of them were made on the top of light bulbs.

Hearts
Bracelets


Pens
Some have holders.  There are more ... I just have to find them!


So now I must go back to the task at hand

Christmas Courtesy of Cracker Barrel

A recent trip to Cracker Barrel...


..brought me to the decision to have a brown, green and gold Christmas tree this year.  I always have a color theme going on.

Last year was silver and white.... 





...with very small touches of red and green from the polymer clay covered ornaments that I placed over the white lights.

Back to the Cracker Barrel part of this story!  They have a beautiful green, brown and gold tree in the store.
This ornament moved me away from my polymer clay for the past week or so!  I've been creating my own ornaments!  Of course, with time and materials, I could have probably said, "Load it into my truck!" and spent less money!! But I've been having a great time creating them!

These pictures were taken on the fly before zooming out the door to take my granddaughter home, so aren't the best.  Just thrown in boxes to keep them from the kitties!



If you get a chance to drop by a Cracker Barrel, take a look at their tree!  It's breathtaking!

I'm also making new polymer clay ornaments for the lights.  I've been accused of making "glittery camouflage".  I'll put a picture on here as soon as I get one taken! 

And here you go!!
When you put one of the mini-string Christmas lights
inside it, it has a great soothing glow!

Merry Christmas, y'all!!
