Aaahhh! I was hooking all week (crochet hooking, that is) in preparation for the Spring Valley Lake Craft Faire held yesterday! It was worth the work, though, but I think today will truly be a day of rest for me. Welcome to those of you who took a card and are taking a look at my blog! I really enjoyed the people I came in contact with yesterday, and I think my little papercrafting group is going to be growing some! I'll have classes scheduled for our holiday papercrafts in the next few days. I think you'll all want to participate in the fun things I have planned! You'll all be hearing from me soon! Have a fantastic week everyone!

Well, my first craft fair of the season has come and gone. I had a fantastic time Saturday at the Apple Valley Holiday Craft Fair. It was a great success for me and I met some really fun people. My friend Becky and I shared a booth, and we were maybe the busiest table there! Wee haw!!! Look for my booth this coming Saturday at the Spring Valley Lake Community Center!! I hope to see you there!

A big welcome to all of you checking my blog. It is still a work in progress, but I hope you like what you see and will check back for more! I will have my calendar up and running by the end of the week with postings of my upcoming class schedule. Many of you are interested in papercrafting projects, and I can't wait for all of you to join our group! It's just too much fun!

Check out my crochet slideshow -- there are a few new additions and more on the way! I've also added a papercrafting slideshow with just a few of the holiday card sets I'm offering. There will be LOTS more added in the coming weeks, so please feel free to join my blog as a follower to ensure you see what's new. Remember, most of the crochet and papercraft items can be made to order and I'm happy to talk to you about any custom orders you might have. Happy crafting! -- Caroline

Danger, danger -- hard hats needed ahead. This Blog is currently under construction, so please be sure to check back for updates, renovations and new additions! I will be adding a calendar of upcoming classes and workshops, in addition to a slideshow of some new papercrafted items. I hope you enjoy this work in progress! - Caroline
