Ames Spring Fair

I will be there!

Ladies Winter Event Update

The Ladies Winter Event went ok. I was a bit surprised to see, oh wait, I mean didn't see as many people as I'd been hoping and praying for. But alas, it's ok and we are only just getting started.

We certainly had more ladies coming in this time around and I was able to make a couple sales (woo hoo)! I'd have to say that my favorite part of the event was hanging out with my vendor mommy friends and seeing their displays. They do such wonderful work and God bless their hearts for everything they do and work hard for.

I was even suprised to be visited by two wonderful ladies that I had invited, one being my 2nd cousin and the other an old girlfriend of whom I usually only get to see once a year (yeah, that stinks!). It was so good to see them and watch them shop around.

I have to say a special thanks to the ladies that attended, I'm glad you're a part of this small event and I believe that each time we do it we will be rewarded. Thanks for being there and I hope and pray for your families to be blessed by it.

Blessings, Elaine

Ladies Winter Event

This coming Monday, November 17th, marks the first public appearance for Laine's Babies. I am really excited and am hopefull for a good showing.

Last Spring I held a "Spring Event" for all my mommy vendor friends. It was a way for me to be helpful in gaining them some exposure and new clients. I have to admit, unfortunately, it didn't turn out quite as wonderful as I had hoped. None the less, I think they did gain a couple clients and I learned not to book such an event on a busy weekend such as VEISHA.

This time around I have carefully advertised our event through free local newspapers, flyers, online communities, word of mouth and community event calendars. I am hoping it pays off.

I have managed to put together a number of items for sale. My fear is that either no one will buy anything or I will have sold out of what little I have, so I am praying for the later. There is a huge time crunch to get everything together within 1/2 hour. This means I have to:

• set up tables and chairs
  
• set up my display
• set out the road sign and balloons
  
• set up the Christmas tree and decorations
  
• get the beverages made up
• run the Christmas DVD for the kids
• figure out how to prop open the heavy doors!
• help everyone else with their luggage?

Well all I can say is that before I wrote this I was calm... now I am a bit anxious, I wish I had Superman to help me out!
