I know I'm terrible... I talk all about a vacation and then I disappear after it. Hopefully none of you got the postcards we sent to Zach's parents that said we were going to stay in Mexico, otherwise you might have actually believed it!
No no, we're back at home and I've been awfully busy with a variety of work and semi-work related activities. I'm busy drumming up crafty things to sell, so not work related but maybe new work related. I purchased a Klic-N-Kut, which is a super sweet computer operated paper/vinyl/chipboard cutter. I've had it a week, and so far it is awesome!! The software is a little difficult to deal with but I was up and cutting in a day, so I think that is pretty good. I'm hoping to use it make some cards and other goodies, as well as create some cool vinyl wall art stuff.

I've got a lot of crafty ideas in the works... so far nothing that is actually done... but a lot in my head. Zach is gone pretty much all this weekend so I'm going to be crafting it up and hopefully have something to show for all my talk!
The first goal would be to actually create some things to be sold. My first "selling" goal would be the Fairy Festival at Monches Farm (Where my mom works in Wisconsin) which is held in August. I'm hoping to have some fairy goodies for the kids and their moms who show up at that event. I can't decide if it should be first or after that, but I want to create an etsy shop as well. A part of me would like to exhibit at the Renegade Craft Show in September, however that might be a little ambitious, especially with a $310 booth fee and the possibility of a terrible rain-out weekend (like last year!). Maybe I'll be ready for the Christmas one (not to mention the weather will be less of a threat since it is indoor!).
I'm pretty committed to this little venture... I'm plotting designing a logo and such right now and determining some of the packaging as well. I'm all about packaging... I know that is dorky but that's me.
I'll make sure to keep this updated when my ventures are more fully baked... I'm a little nervous about putting everything out on the Internet without it being sold by me or something... I know... totally lame. Maybe I will if your lucky... especially since no one reads this :)
