Getting Ready for Craft Fairs....

Awhile ago, one of my students from Island Scrapbooking asked me if I wanted to share a booth with her at an upcoming craft fair. I told her I would, but didn't realize that our annual FCE craft fair was on the same day! Well, I'm not one to really break commitments, so I'm doing double duty and making stuff for both. Luckily the FCE group has enough manpower, so I will just drop off my donation to the club. Here's one of the projects that I'm working on right now.. IS DT member Tracy taught me how to cover frames with paper. Thanks Trace! It takes awhile to get them covered, but I actually enjoyed it once I figured out the theory behind it. Used my sis' design and blew it up on the computer so that it would fill up the empty space. Added the cherry blossom petals from my punch bunch punches to form the flower and added some floating petals for accent. Here's a close up of the girl... In case you are in the Hilo area, please stop by at either craft fair. Both will be on Saturday, May 7th.

• FCE Fair- Aunty Sally's Luau Hale. Fair is from 8:00am-12:30pm.
• Japanese Cultural Center Craft Fair- Japanese Cultural Center on Kanoelehua. I think it starts at 10:00am.

Both fairs will have crafts, food and entertainment. Paul's Taiko group will be performing at the Japanese Cultural Center fair and they will be selling their butter mochi as well. Hope to see you there!
