No Plans on Saturday? Go to the Show of Awesome!

My parents are in town from San Diego so I won't be awesome and attend the Show of Awesome but you should go!

The Show of Awesome is an event down in Portland, OR featuring the crafty, creative, and truly brilliant designers of homemade crafts. Put on with the support of the great Crafty Wonderful; it's an awesome event! My awesome creative peeps Slide Sideways and Camp Smartypants will both be there. Stop by and say hi for me! Pick up some cool crafty finds, too.

Hopefully one year I'll be there, too :). 

Congrats: Slide Sideways!

A couple of weeks ago, I met with former co-workers and I was really excited and happy to hear that so many of them had gone into business themselves via the fabulous handmade marketplace- Etsy.com.

The next time I was on the internet, I checked all of them out and I was really excited that Jacqui and Scott of Slide Sideways were featured sellers (technically seller because they coproduce, design, and create the fabulous designs of Slide Sideways).

Congrats Jacqui and Scott!
