Well, this past week has been spent building chicken coops and making last minute goodies for Crafty Wonderland! It’s pretty much all I’ve done. I’m very excited! Selling at a craft fair is fun. I love meeting all the people and the rush of the day. Hopefully I can get a chance to stroll through all the shops selling there.

SO, some of you have asked if I’m selling these stuffed pups online… and that’s a maybe. I wont be putting them up in the shop before the craft fair, but I’m thinking of making them a permanent item in my shop, but haven’t decided yet. I usually make these JUST for the Christmas holiday. I DO KNOW that whatever I don’t sell this weekend I’ll do a quick sale on Instagram. Just for anyone that needs one. Right away. Hee. Keep watch. I’ll probably post a sale around Tuesday/Wednesday.

If you’re in Portland, I hope to see you there!

This ENTIRE weekend was spent prepping for Crafty Wonderland, a little indie craft fair put on twice a year in Portland. I’ve been sewing/painting/cutting. All that. I’m no where near to ready at this moment… soon. ha! If you’d like to check it out, it’s this Saturday! Come by and say hello. Hopefully I’ll see you!

Yay! Time for another Pacific Northwest Blogger Meet Up.

BUY YOUR TICKETS HERE!

This event is open to bloggers and handmade shop owners. Please don’t buy a ticket for your significant other/kiddo (unless they are bloggers, ha), since we are so limited on space. <3

I really hope to see you there, and am SO excited to host this in Seattle again!!!

ALSO: We often have inquiries from local artists/shop owners about donating goodies to go in our gift bags, we’d love to have you! Just send me an email (thepapermama at gmail dot com) with “PNW BLOGGER GOODIE BAGS” in the subject line and we can chat more. We are asking that goodies are provided in increments of 25 (that way it’s easier for us to evenly split up everything in the bags).

Yay! Some of you have inquired about the date of the next meet up, and I haven’t been able to share the date…. but now that it’s all confirmed: April 27th! It will be in Seattle, WA this time (yay for all the Washington Bloggers).

The tickets ($25 + ticket fee) go on sale on Monday, March 25th at 8 A.M. PST. I’ll have a post ready with a link to the ticket sale site. The event is capped at 50 tickets. I have no idea if these will sell out fast, but the last time we were capped at 50 people it sold out in one day. Soooooooo: good luck! I’ll ALSO share more info about the exact location, etc. on Monday.
