It’s a few days before the holidays and I’m starting to reflect on everything that has happened during the year. It’s been a fast and furious year! I’ve been binding books and notebooks just about every free second that I have.

I started showing at the Fremont Sunday Market, Urban Craft Uprising, Oddmall and so many other craft markets. (Bellingham Steampunk, Emerald Downs Gift Fair, a Very Vintage Market and more.)

Now I’m sitting down to plan for next year. I have some new binding equipment on the way so that I do that magic that I do a little more efficiently. 🙂

My first stop this January will be Rusty Con in Seattle. I look forward to spending time there and meeting more people. I have more than a few applications out to craft fairs this spring.
I had so much fun this interacting with all other craft fair vendors. I look forward to seeing them again this year.
Everyone have a great holiday!
