It was a great first Christmas season at Foxglove Paperworks! I was overwhelmed at the responses and well wishes from everyone! I am truly speechless (and for those who know me, that is truly a rarity!)
The crafts fair brought not only many sales, but also a lot custom orders which was awesome. The orders kept me busy through all of December and for that I am very grateful! I thank each and every one of you who reached out to me to create some of your Christmas gifts! I made LOTS of Santa, Elves, and snowmen table favors filled with Hershey Kisses. They were the big hit of the season. Everyone loved the idea of gift cards attached to the coffee candle (who wants to just hand someone a gift card?!) The Post A Note desk holders were also very popular along with the reindeer food in test tubes. I sold out of the wood slice ornaments at each craft fair. I had quite a few custom orders for gift tags. It was fun to come up with different ideas for everyone! I think my favorite thing of the season was the cocoa packs with marshmallows in test tubes (such cute packaging!), a candy cane and a sweet little wooden spoon! They were fun to make!
I also loved holding the workshops at my house. They were fun get togethers and I look forward to offering more fun projects in the new year! Let me know if there is anything special you would like to make. I can even hold a class in your home. Get 5 other friends to attend and your workshop is free! Email me for details!
As with any new venture, there is always so much to learn! The biggest thing I learned was I need to start designing and creating A LOT EARLIER in the year! I already have a list to make for next Christmas and will start working on them in March. Yup, probably even before Spring I’ll break out the red and green paper again!
Thank you to everyone whether you bought something at a craft fair, attended one of my workshops, ordered something custom, or cheered for me from the sidelines, you all have made a difference in my life! Patty
Please enjoy this slideshow of my Christmas crafting season!
Patty, The slide show won’t work for me and I’d love to see it.
Hi Margaret! I’m not sure how to fix that! My cell number is 852-1964. Shot me a text and I’ll send them to you! Plus I’ll be putting them in my gallery so you’ll be able to see them there!
Thanks!
