Our Meeting
The holiday craft planning meeting went great, though longer than expected. That's what happens when you put gabby women in the same room (Me being the gabbiest one of all =D ). We came up with some ideas and got a flyer together to distribute.

Holiday Projects
So here is the scoop so far: I will be meeting with Nicole from Nicole's Visions tomorrow morning to discuss some holiday promotion ideas to pass on the savings to those in our community! So far, we had the idea of hosting parties where we would give host discounts and such much like Scentsy or Avon would. We have also talked about possibly setting up at the courthouse close to Christmas. I am really looking forward to this venture, not just as a way to sell, but as a way to network with other crafters! I will post more info as it is known.

Creativity Abound!
Today I made the tops for several hats, but my biggest accomplishment was making my kitchen counters look all zebra print. Eventually, I want an entire zebra print accent wall in the kitchen but I have to it bit by bit as the paint takes FOREVER to dry so I have to be able to cook! Ok, so I cheated today and got a Digorno pizza but still! I need the OPTION of cooking =D I am so happy I have an understanding husband lol!
Humble Beginnings
Thought I should go ahead and explain the origins of Glitter Girl Accessories, so here goes:
I grew up in a crafty family. My father, Knots&More; and my mother, Artzy Susie worked the shows from Wenatchee to Collville and everywhere in between. I went along, selling various arts and crafts, and helping with setup and tear down. Therefore, it was only natural that I would continue crafting into my adult life. However, I never thought about turning crafting into my primary business until this year. In March, I was diagnosed with MS - a debilitating neurological disease that effects thousands of people every year. By fall, my symptoms had left my life too unpredictable to hold a steady nine to five anymore. Prior to this, I had been a caregiver for nearly four years. Leaving what I love and the people I had grown to see as family was very hard, but it also was the push I needed to follow in the family tradition and start doing the shows. I began crafting like I had never crafted before, bought an RV with my husband and went to it. Thus was the birth of Glitter Girl. The name was nothing more than a declaration of my love for all things shiny =D
So there you have it. Glitter Girl was what I needed to do - as I am sure many other artists have felt about their art. And I really do hope you enjoy what came out of it!
