October 10, 2009 Craft Fair

The craft fair went fine. I sold 8 items. The women next to me who does craft fairs regularly told me not to feel discouraged. She said that it just happened to be a fair where people were lookers, not buyers. It was a good learning experience though. I want to work on finding something to make my jewelry truly unique from other jewelry sellers. I plan on doing more fairs, I just don't think I'll do one until I get the unique thing figured out. I'm playing around with some stuff right now and it's actually quite exciting.

My Aunt Susan's first book has been published and is available for sale. I'm so proud of her! It's the coolest thing. Her first book is called "In Search of Emily" and is a great read. I did the cover artwork and she's asked me to do covers for her other books as well, which is such an honor. You can read the first 3 chapters of "In Search of Emily" and purchase her book for $15 on her website: www.rocketdogbooks.com. You can also get a look at 2 of her books that are soon to be released.
