Crafting for Christmas 2009, let's begin again.......

No I've only just got it into my head that I'd like to do one, never done one before. Will there be a special Christmas one nearer the time do you reckon as I'd be selling Christmassy crafts, but that sounds like it'd be great, thanks. I'll see if I can find a phone number for them or something It's annoying because I can't drive so me and my lovely elves would be carrying all my stuff by hand. I just read about one in Linthorpe which is for a charity, but the site says that all proceeds will go to the charity, do you reckon this includes your takings from the stall or just the money they make from refreshments and the table costs?

Thanks NEgirl, I'm getting so excited about the thought of doing a fair stall, I'm trying not to look at all of your lovely blogs and things too much because my stuff doesn't look anywhere near as professional and lovely as yours!

I am doing a trial run at my mothers senior club, feeling really nervous about it as I have never done this before sold a few bits on ebay to fund my crafting. My mum makes me nervous cos she tells me that everyone cant wait to see what I make

Yes it is, it says they have their own stall and refreshments, and I assume you'd pay for your table space too, so obviously all of the money for this would go to the charity, but would you have to donate your takings from the things you sold to the chairty as well or would you get to keep all of your profits?

Was it good last year? What kind of things were being sold? Sorry for all the questions!

I was looking through my bookmarks on internet explorer, where I save links to items I would like to make. I found a link to http://webcatt.net/humor/pencil.html
with a humorous paragraph about a pencil.
and decided to make a box with the paragraph on and put a pencil inside. A good gift for the man (or woman) who has everything I thought!
I'll give one to my brother,he's very difficult to buy for.
I've taken a photo and put in on my blog
