My first public showing! Thought I'd post a few pictures, mainly to display my beautiful daughters. Mara, (who looks like Zooey Deschanel, I swear) was there to handle every transaction since I was so nervous I could hardly tie a bow. Hannah Stephenson, my older daughter, had organized the event held in downtown Columbus at the Ohio State University Urban Art Space (oh, excuse me, I meant The Ohio State University Art Space!), located in what used to be the Lazarus department store. It sits across from a new urban park called Columbus Commons which used to house the Columbus City Center Mall (the only mall I ever liked).
Our display was just a simple table provided by the venue, adorned by tablecloths over boxes to achieve different levels, glittery snowflakes, and of course a glass bowl of chocolate kisses. Some traffic, some purchases, and some of Mara's retail skills, made it really enjoyable and broke the ice for me. Although I wouldn't let her leave my side.
Our packaging was simple silver ribbon tagged with a business card.
A happy holiday season to all!
Paper crafts, knitting, crocheting, growing older, spirituality, children, friends: indeed my cup runneth over.

New venture
My goals for 2011 regarding cardcrafting were to open an etsy store, host my own blog, get a vendor's license, and a domain name. I did get a domain name, but there it sits, idle, useless, and untended. The etsy store is empty, and my blog is going nowhere.
I have my first event at which I will be selling my cards, at the Ohio State University Urban Arts Space, located in what used to be the downtown Lazarus department store. My daughter has organized an event on Friday, Dec. 2, from 2-8 p.m., where different artists have a free venue to display and sell their art.
You are invited to come, and if you do, stop by my table to chat and take a look at what I've come up with so far. I'd really appreciate some feedback. Also, if you blog, I'd like to learn from you--just a smidgen of what you've found helpful, and not so much.
Blessings to you all.
