Light Speed, Shops and Craftster Challenge

The results for Craftster's gingerbread house craft challenge were posted. I only got 2 votes which sort of surprised me because I've been posting on Twitter, my blog, Facebook and other places to try to get votes. There were a lot of good entries though and so many to choose from. It was fun to enter anyway and allowed me to try something new. If you make crafts, do you ever enter craft challenges? You can still vote for my Reindeer card on the EtsyVeg team blog though for another challenge I'm doing (if I just got 10 percent of my blog followers to vote, I could win).

I went to Light Speed today to pick up the items I put there. The shop closed down and it's now a thrift store so I took all my items out. It was nice to get my items back since I haven't seen them in a year. Everything's relisted in my shop:

Green Bird Journal



Black and Gold Marbled Journal

Blue and Purple Sketch Book

Light Pink Rose Journal



Chinese Lady Yang Sketchbook



Red Indian Print Photo Frame (Altered)



Mini Autism Awareness Journal



I also went to two shops in Chicago with my items. One is called Lillstreet and they teach classes (such as screenprinting) and also have a little shop with crafty items. They said they had enough paper craft items right now, but they would keep it in mind. There's also a new shop opening in Chicago that I learned about from the Etsy forums and I'm planning to take my stuff down there.
