friends and visitors.
I do hope you have all had a great weekend.
May I welcome my newest follower to my blog,
and thank you for choosing to follow me. I do
hope you return to see what I'm up to often.
Thank you also to my followers who continually
visit me and make such great comments about
my work.
The little craft fair I did with my niece wasn't a
very good success. Not many peeps came only
a few that were connected with the disabled club
she attends and their friends. Still it was a nice
afternoon with lots of lovely disabled people
who were really lovely jolly, and friendly.
Today I have one of the little boxes I made for
the fair. This was made from my snippets left
over after I make my boxes for the 8"x8" size
cards. So you know by now what challenge this
is going into. I do love this challenge, and I have
made such a lot of new blog friends by entering it.

This is a 4"x4" size box.
I made the flower on top by gluing coloured
rose petals together, and adding some small
beads in the center.
Underneath the flower I layered some doilies.
Round the edge of the box I glued some
Spellbinders Parisian Border Die cuts.
Thank you again for your visit, and time.
Lots of crafty love. JENNY.
I would like to enter this into the following
challenges.

Hi Jenny, Sorry your craft fair didn't go as well as you had all hoped, but I bet the peeps who did attend thoroughly enjoyed your crafty goodies.
I love this little box, especially the flower, and the doilies underneath the petals add a beautiful, beautiful effect.
Lots of love from Patricia xx
Jenny that was not good that after all the work that had gone into setting up the craft fair people didn't come. This is one of the reasons we don't do that many now. At least the ones they came had a lovely time. Your box is lovely and again just shows what can be done with the bits that are left, plus other little bits. Hazel xx
Great box Jenny. Pity about the craft fair but that seems to be a common complaint about craft fairs any more. People don't seem to be interested.
What a great pity that support was lacking for the Craft Fair, it's very disheartening for all those involved :0( It sounds as though you still had fun though! Fab little box and the flower is wonderful xx
such a cute little gift box, love the flower

Beautiful box Jenny. Pity to hear that not many people turned up. Hugs Rita xxx
Your gorgeous box is a fabulous way to use snippets! It's just beautiful! So sorry your craft fair didn't meet your expectations, but don't let it discourage you :)
What a wonderful use of snippets...this box is beautiful. Love the rose petals witht he doily under them!!!
Sorry to hear not many came to the fair... It seems as though the smaller venues don't get the attendance but the larger venues are so expensive and your table can get lost in the vastness.
Have you ever tried a craft fair that is at a workplace? I used to work for a large corporation and we had a fair in our building at the last week of November. We had a bout 3000 employees that worked in the building (shift work). People came on their coffee break and lunch breaks and before work. We opened at 7am to 3pm. My workplace was not near any shopping so we the vendors did really well.
The crafts you showed us on your blog posts were all beatifullly made...i am sorry that you did not get the purchasers at your event.

Dear Jenny! Dont be sad, dont stop create! Life is wonderful! Your new box shows us, that you are a great artist!
Good morning Jenny,
Please do not despair, Craft Fairs are a lottery (in my opinion)
Hazel and I have done some where with only a few people, we have done well. Others, the place was so full you could hardly move and we hardly sold a thing. You can never tell from one fair to the next. The other thing is what you will sell! It is different time.
Your box is great and Oh! Wow! That flower is wonderful, love, love, love, it.
Have a great day

A beautiful box Jenny. The rose petals look stunning and I like the idea to place them on a doily.

Super box and I adore the flower on the doily - perfick Jenny!
Don't fret over the craft fayre, I could tell a few tales about some I went to full of hope. But, so long as everyone had a great time that makes up for it!
Hugs, Di xx
Hello Jenny, your box is beautiful and that flower is so gorgeous, what a glorious colour, love it, hugs Kate x
Hi Jenny, your box is gorgeous! So pretty! Sorry the craft fair didn't go as well as you'd hoped, it sometimes happens like that ... at least you still had a good time, hugs Carole Z xx
What a lovely snippets box top, Jenny! I would think these would have been sold out in no time! I'm sorry that the fair wasn't as successful as you had hoped. If I lived nearby, I would have been there!! Hugs, Darnell
Hallo Jenny

Je doosje ziet weer mooi uit
groetjes Gerrie
This is fabulous, the flower is so stunning and I have to say that I can not make a box to save my life so I am also impressed with that.
Thank you for your comment.

A pretty box. I like the colour. I think a good few people have struggled this year with craft fayres. Hugs Mrs A.
