Getting ready...

Okay so this year I guess is technically the 31st Hyde Park Street Fair

but no one ever makes a cool in between-number logo do they?

I've never been to this hip-fest as many have described it

but I'm excited to be part of the festivities this year

the last two fairs I participated were completely flops

and I wasn't sure I was going to have the energy to do another

but I think this fair is going to be a better match for me

and from the looks of it a whole lot of fun

sales or no sales

Here are a few images I found on flicker

I think I'm going to have one good ol' time with my outfits

I might even have to be more over the top than usual

to really stand out!

So what am I doing to get ready?

Pretty much pulling out my hair

because as usual all my creative spirit

comes along right when I don't need it!

It's not like getting ready for a show is hard enough work as it is

but somehow every time I get busy

so does my little brain

and before you know it I have 5-6 new ideas

that just MUST come together before the show

hey not that I'm complaining...

what ever gets the creative juices flowing

I'll take! Who needs sleep anyhow?

It doesn't help that we are heading out of town tomorrow

My hubby has a business conference this weekend

and I'm tagging along

I'm calling it a second honeymoon

not that my husband will be around

but we are staying at one very top notch hotel

and I get to craft all day in piece in quite

and call on room service whenever I want

Do you think they will go fetch things like hot glue sticks?

I put together this little "tool" kit of all the supplies I will need

Jimbob actually purchased this tool/fishing box for me

gosh like 5 years ago

but I have a thing about cuteness... I really should be ashamed!

But I never naturally gravitate towards utilitarian ideas

"who cares if you need an oven mitt

use the kitchen towel -

the oven mitt was burnt and ugly so I threw it out!"

Yeah I think I've done that three times now! Uggg

why am I even sharing such things?

Anyways long story short

I LOVE that tool box! Why the heck didn't I use it before?

Love you hun! hehe ^^
