Another Boutique... Nov 28th & Dec 5th

I'll be at another boutique tomorrow.. Come on out if you're in the Sandy area. It's in the primerica building, right off 90th S. and I15. (Exact address 9055 S. 255 W)
I will also be there Saturday, Dec. 5th. Hours for both Saturdays are 10 am-5 pm

Here's a sneak peak of some of the new items I will have there. I wanted to make a few "small" things for younger kids age. Kind of like the treats they would take to school or to their teachers.


Here is another version of "Homemade Christmas Fudge" Yes, they are Symphony bars (which in my book is pretty heavenly fudge).

These are little round "Palmers" brand candies. Some are peppermint and some are cookies and cream. (Did I mention that I LOVE bulk at Winco?? Makes boutique candy shopping so much easier!!). There are 4 candies per bag here.
These are "Reindeer Noses." One nose for Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixon, Comet, Cupid, Donnor, Blitzen & Ruldolph!

This is kind of a spin off of those crazy spiders that I did a million of at Halloween. I think I will sell these separately for like 50 cents... but then they look kind of cute packaged together, so I think I will do that also.
And these are little candy canes with the same "Santa" face. I really like this Santa, but I'm having a hard time getting the paper to stick to the candy cane. (This is the time when I wish I had some "cheap" quality cardstock... my stampin up cardstock is so heavy weight).

Thanksgiving Blessing Mix

I'm a little sad to admit that I completely skipped thanksgiving crafts this year. With the Halloween boutique and the timing of the holiday boutiques, I didn't get anything made for it. I love the fall colors and really miss making fall stuff.

I have sold these "Thanksgiving Blessing Mixes" at every Holiday boutique, and they usually do pretty well. Last year I sold 2, and ended up giving the other 48 out at work, so I skipped them this year. I did, however, put together 8 of them for our Charley's home teaching and for my visiting teaching sisters.

In The Doghouse?

Nah. Well, at least I hope I'm not... HaHa.

Actually, Charley did something very sweet for me, so I made him this card. I think this is one of my favorite cards to date... and I've made A LOT of cards!

I actually liked it so much that I made 12 more. I took them to work and mentioned to some friends they should buy one and take it home to their husband... I sold them ALL!

Off to make some more.

Boutique Next Week!! See you there!!

Be sure to stop by. It's Saturday, November 14th at the West Valley Family Fitness Center, Upstairs in the conference rooms from 9-5. It's free, and you get to see me!! LOL. I'll be there all day! Oh, and there's a free drawing too.


Here's a sneak peek at some of the things that will be for sale:

Of course there will be cards! (Ever known me to NOT have cards??)
A new thing I thought I'd try this year. I always have people telling me that they would love to make cards, they just have no idea where to start. Well, this is a great starting place. These are premade card kits. Everything is pre cut, stamped, and complete instructions to make 5 completed cards. (Sorry, this is a really bad picture, it was taken with my cell phone).


Stationery Sets. This is a sample of a stationery box with 8 cards.


And these are much cuter in person. They are little "magazine" holders. Kind of like book ends. They hold 4 matching cards and envelopes.

This is another set without cards in them yet:

And these are called "Explosion boxes" Each box opens up with lots of room for pictures, writing, and even a small gift. I like to put a gift card in the middle of these, they fit perfectly. As you can see, there's even matching gift card holders!

As you can see, there's no Christmas items here! They're not done yet.. LOL. But be sure to stop by, if nothing else, just to say Hi.

Halloween Boutique Items

So I haven't done a Halloween boutique in years! I've decided I really miss making Halloween stuff. Here's a few pics of some of the items... I might have to make it an annual thing again. Here's some of the items... EVERYTHING I had sold, and even took orders for more!

These are little treat bags. These ones pictured have 100 calorie packs in them, just so you get an idea for how big they are. The cards in front are made with the same template, they just were mounted on cards rather than made into boxes.

These little spiders have peppermint pattys in them. After the first batch I started putting those "monster money" candies in them. They worked out so much better because they are thinner, firmer, and cheaper!! I ended up making and selling about 200 of these little things. (I think I'm spider'ed out for a while.. LOL).
These are little candy corn boxes. Super easy and super cute!
And these are eyeball suckers. Believe it or not, it's impossible to buy these suckers anywhere! You'll die, but I actually ended up calling my bank and asking them if I could buy 100 of them! LOL.

And here's a picture of the set up! I've decided Halloween is lots funner than christmas!

Up next... Christmas Boutique!!
