Swiss Days

So I had the great opportunity this weekend to sell some of my emmie cakes banners at the biggest craft fair in Utah, Swiss Days. Thanks to my cousin and her friend, I was able to add them to a booth that she has. The banners sold great. I have even already had some inquiries from people who saw them there. I only started this little project 2 weeks ago and it has taken off more than I could have ever expected or hoped for it to. It has been a fun learning process and I am throughly enjoying the fact that I have pretty much done this all on my own.

A couple of my friends and I went up to enjoy the show and couldn't help walking by the booth 3-4 times to see how things were going. From what I understand, the Simply Splendid booth (the one that sold my banners) got voted best in show. Yeah for them. It was really cute and they had some great stuff. We had a fun time at Swiss days, bought some really cute stuff and also got some great ideas for stuff that we want to try and make ourselves.



After our day in Midway, we got to have a little girls night in Park City. We shopped, ate good food, stayed up late laughing and talking and had an all around much needed and well deserved night out with just the girls.

So things have been a little fun and crazy lately. Justin took the three younger kids out to his parents house this weekend for some goods times at the Duchesne County Fair. I talked to them tonight and and Preston told me that he got all dirty at the rodeo because he walked through some "cow mud". I guess its a good thing I wasn't there, I would have freaked out. Anyway, they are having a good time and I've been at home with Maggie just crafting away. We stayed up until 2:30 last night and well I writing this at 3:10, while the boys are away, the girls will...craft. We have been going crazy making banners for our new Emmie Cakes and other fun projects that are still in the works. That girl is following in my footsteps. I love having someone as excited about scrapbook paper and embellishments as me. It's been fun just the two of us.See, we've been busy. 

I also hosted a fabulous enrichment activity this week. We had a girl from our ward come and teach us some great cupcake baking and decorating techniques. She had some easy, smart tips and I will never decorate cupcakes the same way again. Here are just a few of the great cupcakes she decorated. Thanks Cake Expectations for the lessons. Yummy Yummy.
