Our First Show

The girls and I have been making adorable beaded watches and really cute homemade cards to sell. To get rid of leftover beads we also made a few bracelets and necklaces. Our first show was last weekend. It was about an hour away, which is really to far to go and make a lot of profit due to gas prices, and it was pretty big. We did get a lot of interest and some people actually bought our watches but overall the crowd was there for a garage sale style show. This was not to our advantage because we weren't going to be marking them down to a dollar no matter how late it got. However, we made just enough sales to cover all expenses so we're not discouraged. We sent in money for our second to last show yesterday. There is supposed to be 50,000-60,000 people there! Mom L. is helping us do baked goods in order to make our stand look fuller and cover more of the cost to get there. Its again an hour away and we've decided after getting up at 4 to make it to this last show that we were no way going to be getting up at three to go to this one... thus the present plan is to get a really cheap hotel room for the night. It's less than three weeks away!!!
