With another craft fest right around the corner I have to be careful how I spend my free time- which is hard to do when it’s finally gorgeous outside here in Fargo (especially after such a long winter). I’ve been enjoying my time outside quite a bit lately but know that I’ve got to stay on …
Participating in your first craft fair can result in a whole mess of emotions… excitement, terror, joy, nausea, gratitude, panic (to name a few).
