Etsy Dallas Jingle Bash 2011

From set up to clean up, I had the best imaginable day at the Etsy Dallas Jingle Bash. My mom was the perfect assistant and we kept each other calm during the hectic moments. I loved setting up a booth for the first time using my diy chalkboards and fun lighting techniques to show off my knit and crochet pieces. I used this dixie cup light tutorial for the lights behind me and a few extra strands underneath the mesh baskets for a space saving glow. All in all, I could not have asked for a better first craft show experience.

I know I've said thank you about a million times, but THANK YOU so much for stopping by my booth on Saturday! I loved getting to meet so many awesome people. If you couldn't make it to the Bash, thank you for sending your sweet words of encouragement via Twitter, Facebook, Instagram...etc. I felt your love from around the world and it truly meant the world to me. ;-)

It's official...now that I have one craft show under my belt, I'm already itching to do another! Maybe I should get through final exams first...
