Greetings and salutations! Another hot one...and a very long day. I worked and worked and sweated (didn't lose and ounce, I might add...) and now I am cooling down. I figured I'd better write this now....as I think once water hits this body in a while...I may be fast asleep in no time! I plan to make a few pairs of earrings first...and print off some earring cards. (Craft show countdown - 6 days and counting)
Here's my usual plan of preparation for a show, although not necessarily in this order:
1.Organize 'Sales/Sales tools Box' - Invoice book; pens; Spiral/legal pad; Business cards;
Small size zip lock bags (to fit earring cards); Plastic bags for purchases; Extra 'findngs' i.e.,
earring backs, pin backs, glue, earring cards, various pliers; Tablecover; Glasses; Hand
sanitizer; Hand Lotion; Sun glasses; Tissues; Water; Snacks; Gum; Brush; Wet washcloth (in
zip lock bag); Scissors; Scotch tape; ...get my drift??
I used to go to lots of craft shows and I kept most of the above described stuff in a tackle box...ready to go at a moments notice! I really like organization...and I don't like to wait till the last minute to get myself ready...so I have my craft show 'to-do list' (big surprise) and having the Sales box almost ready is on Sunday...so if I get the earring cards printed tonight...yep! Cross it off the list!!
2. Inventory - Double/triple check how many pairs I have, and pairs of what. Also, necklaces,
bracelets, pins, if any, etc. Francine's Hats and that f*#king scarf she thinks she has to
have...
3. Displays - Racks, stands or whatever I can wrangle up to display my stuff...including
Francine's shiny white head.
4. Anything else - like...what to wear; canopy, maybe;
I really don't have tons to prepare...I just want it all done. Simple.
We are under a severe thunderstorm warning until 7:05 pm. Who figures these times anyway?? 7:05...not 7:00 or 'around 7:15 or so'...nope...7:05. On Cantorre Stories tonight on the Weather Channel at 9:00 (not 9:05) is about his visit to Marfa, Texas. I hope I am awake to see it!
Something bit me and it itches like a bitch. I have no idea what it was...but it's driving me nuts. I have 'no itch' ointment on it...but it's not helping.
Well...got stuff to do...things to cross off....later!!
