Thank you to all of those who supported me the last two-days at the Freddie Mac Holiday Craft Marketplace event. Every year for the past 3 years I have participated in this event (they also host a spring craft fair that I also attend). It is nice to see old friends (I use to work there some time ago) and make new friends will selling my wares and gaining new customers. As with every year, I had a great time and didn't do to badly in the sales department. It still amazes me, even as a crafter how talented people are. There were knitters, photographers, glass blowers and quilters, just some really lovely stuff. I am honored to be apart of this community of crafters and look forward to future events. Here are a few pics of the items I had on my table (the lighting wasn't that great for photo's so I was only able to put a few up).

| Personalized Frames (big hit) |

| Holiday Candy Cracker/Popper |
The personalized frames were successful. Can I just tell you, I LOVE MY SILHOUETTE. I had a small table to the side that I had my laptop and Silhouette on and was able to do the personalized frames onsite within an hour. My customers were thrilled with the quick turnaround time and ability to customize while they shopped (or in this case went to a meeting).
The holiday crackers were fun...each of these little treats is filled with 2 Hershey Nugget candies and a good will foturne. They were fun to make and the kids wanted to pull them apart as soon as I had them done. So, I know I will be making some of these for our Thanksgiving table this year. I think I might add a little something special to theirs so it is a surprise when they pull them open. I will have to give that one a little thought.
Anyway, just wanted to pop in and and give a little shout-out to my dear friend Michele Jackson for organizing this event EVERY YEAR and let her know how thankful I am that she still includes me even though I have moved on from Freddie.
Thanks for stopping by and I will catch you all later.
Cindy
