Getting Ready for the Big Show!
Am I the only one that stays up until 3am the night(or morning) before an Art and Craft show that starts at 9am the next day?
Yeah, I'm one of those nervous nellies that waits until the last minute. That panic that sets in that makes you create more jewelry in fear you might run out (HAH, only in a perfect world). Or the organizing of your display materials so that you pack them in the order in which you will take them out and put your display together at the show. Or the making sure that every item is tagged properly, shined or in perfect display readiness. Then of course there is the bringing of extra pens, calculators, sales receipts, hand-stamped gift bags and boxes, tissue paper for wrapping, or office supplies for just in case emergencies. Yes, ladies and gents, the rabbit hole goes deep! And then when you get to the show you are amoung the first to arrive to make sure that you get every bit of that 6 foot table space you put your money down on weeks or months ahead of time. As you put out your display you watch as the disorganized crafters drag their rumpled cardboard boxes filled to the brim with tablecloths and hanging apparatus that use to be used for something entirely different. Oh those poor lost souls that probably got a good night's sleep the night before as you pondered and preened after every last detail. It's insanity I tell you! But after all is said and done, you sit back and sip your favorite house blend coffee that you brought from home in your togo cup that you bought in bulk at Costco, as you sit and watch the other vendors scramble to get their crafts perfectly displayed. Hee hahahaahaha, YEAH!
