Talk About Two Action Packed Days of Crafting

I am in need of a foot and calf massaging machine after spending two action packed days with my sister Pam and friend Dale. Friday afternoon the three of us went to Canterbury's Spring Art and Craft Festival. It was exciting for Pam as she had never been there, but I went last Fall with Dale and loved it. I hooked up with a few of the artists I have featured on my blog and the Creative Chicks Cafe website and that was exciting for me in itself. Here is a picture of us with Mona Rae Cich after our big purchase.

Pam wore her "Bite Me" shirt and we both found a fun and lively booth to purchase our hats at.

If my friend Dale, had a $1,000 dollars to spend, Mona Rae's shelves would have been half empty. As you can see we all purchased wonderful handmade items for our homes and gift giving. I  finally was able to meet Pat and Donna Surface from Ely Minnesota. Pat was performing on the second level and sang my favorite song for me "Hallelujah". Donna was busy on the first level in their booth selling Pat's CD's. Please check out their website again http://www.spiritwoodmusic.com/ and listen to his music.
After 5 hours of walking and viewing all of the arts and crafts, we went over to Mystic Lake Casino for dinner. The buffet was delicious! Of course we hit the quarter machines, Pam and I walked aways with money, but poor Dale made a donation.
If your not having fun, your not living life to it's fullest
On Saturday instead of shopping, Pam and I attended our second craft show held at the Maple Grove Center. It was sponsored by a non-profit organization called Women of The Day. Pam had a impressive display with her dried floral creations, but I had competition with my washcloths as five other crafters were selling them. We had a blast as you can see by this picture. Kathy Sullivan made each of us a apron to wear, and the perky hats were a added bonus to bring in the spring with bright colors. There were 100 crafters, and it was nice to see so many things were handmade. Please see my posted article on http://www.creativechickscafe.com/
Many thanks to our husband's Brian and Joe helping set up our booth and to our friends Dale, Ryan, Jenna and Jenna's mom for stopping to see the show. Check out Pam's website to see her new spring floral creations at http://www.pamelavincentcreations.com/
