Craft Fair with Julz

Julie and I decided to do a NOVEMBER craft fair this year instead of the DECEMBER one.  Veteran's Day was a Friday this year, so I got to head down to Julie's on a Thursday...we crafted all day Friday...and then we did the craft fair on Saturday!  It was such a fun time!  This year, Julie's friend, Gabby, joined us in our crafting.  It was fun having a third person working in the Elf Shop.

Knot 2 Shabby

Just for the record, this is how the day started...Julie's fancy coffee ordering at Starbucks, Skyping with my children who miss me already, (or did they want to see Auntie and Ollie?), and dropping off this sweet little doggie to Trina's.

 And this is our super cute booth!

Julie really has an eye for these things.  And did I mention that she had a store name (Knot 2 Shabby), credit card swiper set up, AND the booth planned out?  She's amazing.

We had a really good time at the fair...but it wasn't as busy as we had hoped.  So we were a little disappointed.  But we were still smiling!  :)

We left there with Julie's friend, Sara, to go shopping and out to dinner.  Cousin Erin met us for dinner, which was so fun! And on Sunday when we were just lazing around, Julie had sold two more of my items on her Facebook page.  She's just like that.  It was such a good weekend to have time (and a project!) with Julz!  I went back to Spokane refreshed.

PS--these were the pics that Jeff sent me from home that weekend:

 Hiking at Pineriver Park...where Jeff twisted his ankle...and then out to eat with the L and V children.

 And lots of sports watching.  Daddy weekends are the BEST!

Girls' Weekend with Julz

Doesn't THIS look like fun?  Heidi and I were trying to spoil JULIE on her birthday, but a weekend away to CRAFT turned out to be just as spoiling for us!  :)  Julz introduced us to Hobby Lobby and The Craft Warehouse.  I thought we'd never pull Heidi out of that last store!  :)

This is the project we settled on...a Christmas Countdown pocket garland!

Lots of hot glue toughened up our fingertips...

So fun!  It wasn't even Halloween and it felt like Christmas.

Other weekend highlights include:  taking Julz to dinner and watching our server hit on her relentlessly, getting to see the house all decorated with Julie's things now, visiting Trina at her new "time-share" place, and attempting to get Ollie to hold still enough for us to get a picture of him...with Joshy's BINKY in his mouth!  And did I mention sleeping in?  Ahhhh, the little things.
