This month is flying by!! Next week is already Thanksgiving, and also my birthday!
I'm happy to share my birthday with the Macy's Day Parade.
Yesterday I was in Oklahoma City all day for the Rock N' Roll Garage Sale! There was live music from 12-8p and many vendors. I sorta felt out of place. All the people selling around me were selling "garage sale" type items. Yes, I know it has the word garage sale in the title but I was told it wasn't like that. There were sellers selling new items but my booth wasn't next to theirs. You can feel my misplacement, right? So I watched the lady across from me with her $1.00 clothing make a killing. I still had fun and enjoyed seeing old friends, new friends, eating cupcakes with sleepy Riley and trying the new red bull cola (disgusting).




When I came home I counted my money, and to my surprise, I made more than I expected (and hoped)! So that made my night.
I also tallied up what I sold. I love to see what the top sellers were! I had two #1 sellers in OKC and they were the owl ornaments and owl keychains. I also love to compare what sells better in the different cities. The top seller at Indie Emporium in Tulsa was the yeti. And in OKC the bigfoots sold more than the yetis. It always surprises me for some reason.
Now it's time to get ready for another show I'll be doing in OKC on December 6th called Deluxe!

-random update time-
*I get to announce the winner of the owl ornament tomorrow! You have until 11:59 CST to enter! Please look at post below for more info!

*I've added a new yeti ornament to my shop! This guy has a blue ribbon!


*I'm a Christmas music nut. True story. I have XM radio so I'm listening to Christmas music in my car and at home!! I feel like an elf when I'm making ornaments! Oh it makes me giddy!!! Can you tell with all those exclamation points?!

Any big plans for this week? My goal is start working on owl snugglies and filling up my shop with the bundle of goodness!
Have a great sunday!

Oops

Reordered my business cards.
Closed a credit card account.
Paid my utility bill.
I feel so good and organized and on top of things!!
Um, wait. Something else is coming up...

This will be my first year to participate in the Rock N' Roll Garage sale in Oklahoma City so I have no idea what to expect. It's from 12p-8p this Saturday. Bands will be playing all day and there will be vendors. I almost feel in the dark about this! haha This is the most unorganized I've been with a show. So unorganized I haven't made anything specifically for it! I've just been making things for my shop. So I guess I'll take everything from my shop, then make more pouches, birds and other small items. I'm suppose to bring my own table and the only one I have is the table I craft on. It'll probably be a very crowded set up!
While I think about what all to do, Riley is Drinking out of a S.L.U.T.S mug. (Southern ladies under tremendous stress). I need to be drinking out of that mug.


I made some owl keychains last night



as well as some felt birds!


I've cut out the birds in all the colors I have available so my goal is to complete them all and that's how many I will have for sale this weekend.


No stressing here. I have a small table to fill! (this is what I'm reminding myself!)


So, pretty much all of you who commented on yesterday's post said I should giveaway an owl ornament. And, your wish is my command!!!
The giveaway will start TOMORROW!!!! So return tomorrow to sign up for a chance to win the owl ornament giveaway.
