Craft Fair for TOYS for TOTS - Cancelled

Dear Vendors/Friends/Sponsors,

Due to multiple unforeseen circumstances our Craft Fair to benefit Toys for Tots will have to be cancelled.  We apologize for the inconvenience this may have caused you.

We had several vendors reserve spaces but then said they were unable to pay for the space.  Unfortunately one sponsor had over promised and therefore we were not able to get the space we needed for this event.   This was a strictly NFP event and can not be possible without the support of sponsors and vendors.   I thank you dearly for your help and willingness to participate.

We will do this event next year - but will start very early.  There will be corporate sponsors (already lining up) and we might already have a willing sponsor for the space.

Any payments made by PayPal you can cancel - or we will hit the refund button to initiate the refund.  Checks that were not deposited will be returned asap.  Any that were deposited will be refunded via refund check.

If you would like to have your check or PayPal payment stay as a donation for Toys for Tots please let me know no later than 3pm Tuesday Nov. 29th, 2011 otherwise I will refund/mail at that time.
I am one of the Coordinators for Toys for Tots via Marine Corps League #1009

YOU CAN STILL MAKE DONATIONS VIA DONATE BUTTON ON THE BLOG.
Also I have multiple items that will be auctioned/sold off that were donations from other artists / crafters and businesses throughout the year.  Look for the page soon.  you can find great gifts and support a great cause.  It will be a Virtual Craft Fair.  All proceeds will go to Toys for Tots.

Once again our sincerest apologies and THANK YOU for your help.

New Year & Thanks

Hello everyone,

WOW this holiday season was the 1st really busy season I have had and i was not fully prepared for it but did my best with what i had.  I hope to have made some memorable gifts.  They all took some sweat, love & tears....at times more than i wished to share.  A couple of drilled fingers and nails, some glued pliers to hair .....ehhh it's all good :)

I hope everyone had a great Holiday, Christmas and soon to be New Year!
I don't like resolutions for end of the year since i try to do them as i "error" my ways or thinking.  But definitely wishing you a very happy, safe, loving New Year with lots of ideas, possibilities and most of all love......love from others, to others and for yourself.

I thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping me with this year's fundraisers and Toys for Tots (which money raised will continue to deposit into our T4T fund-i was told we can raise money all year long)

HOPES for the New Year:
I will have lots of new ideas, new jewelry lines and featured artists in the next year.
I am also looking into creating a custom high end line that i hope everyone will like.
Revamping and reorganizing some things for a more streamlined ordering process besides ETSY, ARTFIRE and well FACEBOOK

Thank you and see you in 2011
Anna
