INVITE THE PRESIDENT TO YOUR WEDDING

Do you have dreams of the President of the United States or any V.I.P attending your wedding?
Well you can actually send an invite to the President of the United States! The probability of them attending is zero to nil, BUT if you do send one you’ll probably get a personal response signed by the president and first lady. For all your political power couples out there, this is a keepsake for the wedding album.
There are certain " protocol" and wording that you need to remember when sending your invitation.The White House greetings office handles as many wedding invitation requests as they can so send your wedding invitation at least six weeks in advance. Be sure to include your old and new mailing address in case the RSVP comes later.

The following are the addresses to mail your invite to the President of the United States as well as some other "notables"....remember to keep it classy, lol

KRAFT PAPER WALLET: TUTORIAL

I came across this "Paper Wallet" via Brother O'Mara and I thought that it was pretty creative as well as easy to make. It literally takes one sheet of 8.5" x 11" paper and a piece of tape to make this. The nice thing also is that you are not just limited to paper (or kraft paper as was used in the pic above). Can you imagine using a nice think canvas texture sheet of paper you can get at the craft store? ....soon you will have your own little wallet shop in your home.

This wallet can hold cash and a couple of credit cards, so try one today, whether for yourself or as a gift ( I would also suggest putting some money in it if giving it as a gift, lol.....no really)

WE'RE BACK FROM RENENGADE!

We have finally gotten back from out weekend at Renegade Brooklyn and boy are we tired. The big show was alot of work and we were happy to get in, but unfortunately all the vendors had to battle tornado like winds.I shared a booth with Christine from Chocolate and Steel, who makes this lovely fine silver jewelry. I was fortunate to not only have a great booth mate but also good booth neighbors so it made my weekend very pleasant. As anyone who does craft show knows, sometimes your booth neighbors can make your experience hell. Due to the wind we were not able to display like we usually do , but I think that the display turned out well. I also want to thank all of you who stopped by and said hello , from our blog followers to our product purchasers, we appreciate you all.
Unfortunately I wasn't able to walk around as my "helper" and I needed all four hands to hold down the merchandise...wouldn't you know that paper and wind don't mix? There was gale force winds all weekend, every vendor was having a hard time. On Sunday everyone heard someones pottery crash to the track , we were all very sympathetic. Even though the fair ended at 7pm, on Sunday ( which was the worst of the rain and wind) the majority of the vendors had packed up by 5pm. We were actually one of them. Between the rain, wind and not being able to keep the product from whipping around as well as dry, we packed it in. I tried to stay, but in the end, much like the other vendors it was a loosing battle.
All in all, other than the wind and rain, Renegade Brooklyn was good, now we move on the next one!
