VeggieFest

I'm sending all my giveaway items out tomorrow. The grand prize winner, Kate8085, chose this mini journal I already had in my shop:



I learned from Craftopolis that my journal featured in this Asian inspired treasury:



I usually only check treasuries if somebody sends me a convo about me being featured, but I think it's a good idea to look on Craftopolis too because it shows which treasuries are using your items as an alternate too (which you can't see just looking on etsy). I haven't made a treasury in a really long time so I think I might make one soon. I already have some theme ideas - I just have to pick one and get the treasury at the right time.

I also got featured in this EtsyVeg treasury on their blog.

Speaking of vegetarian things, I went to this event called VeggieFest in Chicago yesterday. It was basically like a craft show, but instead of crafts, the tents were set up with companies with sample food, health products, yoga brochures, etc. I saw one company selling soap and I got this really good smelling cinnamon soap that I've already used. I also bought a vegetarian t- shirt that's brown and says "Vegetarian for Life". I wish they had more food there, but I did pick up some recipe booklets and made homemade gnocchi from one of them last night.

I also found this interesting vegetarian meetup in Chicago. I won't be able to do it during the year because I'll be at college, but I thought I'd sign up anyway in case I can make it to one of the meetsup. I brought some EtsyVeg Team cards and stickers with me to pass out which would have been perfect, but I forgot about them once I got there. They would've been perfect for it htough.

After VeggieFest, we stopped at this place called Sugar Monkey Cupcakes when we went back. The cupcakes were okay, but everything was so cute in the shop. Everything was really colorful and pink. They also had these window curtain made out of cupcake fabric that was the same as the one I used here except in pink:



I'm working on some new journals. I found this heart themed paper and fabric and I've been meaning to use. I think I'm going to do a few ribbon journals since I don't do a lot of those. I'm not sure how I'm going to stitch it yet, but I'll figure something out.
