I'm Back!!

It's been a while since I made a post here, but I am gettin' back to it now! Just a few updates. In case you missed it - and I hope you didn't - the NPCM's Spring Line Up was a blast! We had such a great turn out and we thank everyone who attended and all our wonderful vendors who participated. You are all great!! The day is pretty much of a blur with so many things going on at once, but I know I had fun. We've posted a little slide show with photos from the day! I was pretty worn out after all the planning. I ended up coming down with bronchitis and have been out of commission for a while. Now that I am finally starting to feel better, I will be jumping back into things beginning with a new monthly show! Join me for "Sunday Crafty Sunday" at Filter (formerly the Other Side Coffee House) in North Park. Each month we'll be showcasing local DIY artists and helping you to satisfy your crafting craving too! If you want to be a vendor, then click the link to the vendor app. and get that to us right away. The first show is just in time for gettin' your Mother's Day shopping done. Come on by and have a cup of great coffee with us!
