Millard West Craft Fair, a success

 I took the beautiful pink sun rise to be a good sign for the Millard West Craft Fair.  It was bright and early when we got there, but we as we set out our merchandise, our spirits were high and you could feel the excitement in the air.

 I really enjoy meeting new people, talking about my "goods" and my friends "goods" and also just trying to get people excited.  I wish I'd walked around and taken pictures of all the gaudy, awful things that were there...it was like a really old lady's dream come true.   BUT...I decided that'd be tacky and didn't do it.  See, I have some manners ;)

 Overall it was a fun day with Lori and Candace.  I am debating on doing more or not...time will tell.

Fun New Things in my Etsy Shop!

The craft fairs are over.  They were fun, but I am glad the stress leading up to them is past.
I did okay for myself, but lucky for you, there are lots of great things to choose from!
Boys neck ties (listed right this second:  ONE size small and ALL the size larges...I will get the rest up tomorrow!) and iron on kits.  The iron on kits left to add are the trains and motorcycles....OH, and let's not forget the adorable bow ties to choose from!
So many goodies for Easter...go check it out today and see if there is something you are just DYING to own ;)
Today through Tuesday only...get FREE SHIPPING! Just enter the code "  FREESHIP1  " at checkout!  Yay for a sale, even a little one, right?

And if something sells out (b/c I only list one at a time, even if I have many...), please either convo me DEMANDING more or wait until I relist.

Thanks!


OH!  And be sure to check me out on facebook:  CONFETTI CREATIONS.  I have coupon codes on there from time to time.

Hidden in Plain Sight (almost)

BIT at Panera

Last week, during spring break, we did a lot of fun activities.

Bart as an astronaut at the museum

Hartland BBQ.  Delish

Raising Canes....YUM.

We hosted a sleep over on Sunday night, went to a class at Panera (which was fabulous, the general manager of the store taught it and she did a great job!) on Monday, went to Lincoln to Raisin' Canes and their awesome children's museum on Tuesday, Brennan slept over at his friends that night so we ate at Hartland BBQ on our way home from dropping him off (54/Maple!  Go eat there, kids are free!), Wednesday we went to Camelot Community Center to babysit for my friend who teaches yoga there, Thursday we were supposed to go swimming at Kids Body Shop (but a fever from Jack kept us home) and Friday the boys went to a play date at W and A's house while Ethan and I grocery shopped.  BUSY week.  Oh, and did I mention it SNOWED!  For TWO days!  (Though it is all melted now, thank goodness...but it snowed yesterday as well!)
BUT...there was a lot of down time.
And a lot of Jessica working on craft fair stuff time.
So, there was a lot of video game "party" time (I don't know why the boys always call it that).
This week, I decided I could not handle it for ONE.MORE.MINUTE.
Monday morning I woke up to find the boys playing their DS's in the BED!
I took them and after threatening to throw them in the trash forever if either guilty boy murmured ONE complaint about not being able to "save" their game.  I've learned that means at least five minutes of play time, I get distracted, they keep playing, and 20 minutes later they are still playing!
So, I put them up.  And not in any of our "usual" hiding places, all of which the boys have discovered.

Jackson practicing his "dance moves" while at Hartland

Nope.  I hid it in my "Sunday" bag...and they are just about in plain sight!  Yep, on the "arm" dining room table chair, sitting there.  And since Brennan does not know there is a pack of cinnamon chewing gum in there, it should be safe.

My poor flowers, Saturday morning.

And, life is calm, peaceful, and quiet once again.
I am thinking I'll keep them hidden for a while.  Because life with no video games sure is the good life...for a while...but I know I'll need those "babysitters" again, lol.

Millard West Craft Fair, April 2

Because I don't know how to contact Erin, and because I wanted to share anyway,I just wanted to let you all know that the Millard West Craft Fair is April 2 from 9-4.  I will be there with B.Accessorized and Jane of all Trades.  They've got Facebook fan pages...go check them out (and me, Confetti Creations!)

We will be wearing matching tees...so it'll be easy to spot us...AND we will have a bright, Eastery colored pennant banner above one of our tables.

So, if you are in the Omaha area, stop on by and say hello.

I'm giving away single iron ons with purchases of $10 or more...so you know you will want to be ready to SHOP!
