Craftravaganza DIT&O Details


























We hope you had as much fun as we did at our Craftravaganza. Not only did we have wide variety of vendors, we also included some fun activities. 

When guests arrived they were greeted with a "Holiday Craftravaganza Activity & Coloring Book." In our activity book guests were introduced to the vendors, our mission for DIT&O, & had a place to jot down notes. 

Our DIT&O shop was full of floral crowns, turban headbands, succulents, chalkboard paint mugs & cord tacos. Thank you for supporting our shop. We look forward to it's growth.

We had a DIY Booth where guests could make yarn pom ornaments and decorate gift tags. It provided a great place for the children to have an activity. 

Giant jenga & corn hole were also present. Giant jenga can be so loud and exciting when it tips over! 

& once again, it cannot be a DIT&O even without a photo booth. Stay tuned for a post of the photo strips!

Our Craftravaganza craft fair in early December was a great success.  Other than the cold afternoon we had, our guests and vendors were all happy.  This was our second craft fair and we are happy with the success.  Whether or not we want to continue to have craft fairs we are unsure, and would love feedback. 

 Our  goal with our craft fair was to have a space for networking and community between friends and vendors/makers alike.  We are so happy to have inspired others to hold their own craft fairs.  Sasha of From Zombies With Love, has held her Zombaby Boutique twice and Wendy of Wendyful Designs is hosting her first, "Craft Fair to Remember" in a couple of weeks.



Thank you vendors for participating!

Happy New Year!


We have been on winter break mode.  The holidays so quickly came (I literally didn't have any gifts put together until 3 days before Christmas) and went...and now It's 2014 now!  

We would like to say thank you for being a reader.  Blogging is not easy–it also is not the hardest thing, but when you are not a full time blogger finding the time to do it is as hard as finding time to read on your free time. We resolve to keep DIT&O going!  A good reminder is remembering that we have just as many hours in a day as Beyoncé. 




Manicures & Martinis Girls Night










                  

This was such an amazing night.  I definitely want to do this more often.  I already own a ton of nail polish all I needed was a big bottle of gin.  I held it just days before New Years Eve so we were all ready with our sparkly and pretty nails for the NYE festivities.  We did each others nails, watched the spice girls movies and chit-chatted.  It was also nice to meet new gals because friends brought their friends.  

Thank you to my dear friend Kadie Gomez for offering her new home to host this event.
