Two More Days

TWO MORE DAYS until the craft fair.

I think I am ready. I have a number of books ready and I have made lots of holiday banners and cards and flags to keep everyone happy. I hope I have as much fun this year as I did last year. The weather is going to be beautiful and warm so that should bring lots of people out.


Small clip boards with "dressed clothes pins" as book marks.



Birthday and Halloween banners



Halloween and July 4th flags


Note books

The farmers market will be up and running so that will also draw people out doors. There will be a number of people providing music and demonstrations of crafts are scheduled through out the day. Really looking forward to it.


Here are a few things to tempt a few folks.......................I hope...............smile.................

Clayton Millstock Arts and Craft Fair


Well as you see I have been very busy again for this years art and craft fair in town.
Last year was the first time I had ever done something like this and I had the best time.
I hope I sell as much this year as I did last year. I came home with just a third of
what I took with me. It was a great day.


This is one of the books I have made for this years fair. It was so much fun making it.
The paper was wonderful. Graphic 45 of course. Here are a few pictures of the inside.






In this picture you can see an idea I have used for awhile now in my books.
They are signatures that are made from the actual book I took them from. What I have
done is to pull 5-7 of them, glued them together on the left hand side of the pages and
then added a strip of cardstock like binding. I have then added them to the book. This
allows more room for notes or pictures to be added as the book is used. It also lets me
add pages to the book without being to bulky when esembled.

I'll be adding more pictures of items that I make for the fair so stop by again. Thanks!
