Please pardon my less than stellar photos. They were taken all rush-like.

SO.  You all remember how my jewelry parts didn't arrive until yesterday?  Well, I LITERALLY have not been to sleep yet.  I stayed up ALL NIGHT - not even kidding - making stuff for the show.  This is the total sum of what I accomplished in one night.  I had several pieces going at once.  Put down a layer on one, let it dry while starting another, let THAT one dry while starting another, then go to the second layer on the first piece, rinse and repeat.

So... all that work, for... not a whole lot.  LOL  I made $45 - which is better than nothing.  But I put more into it than that and money is lean right now because I haven't been working a lot.  We are on 4 days at work and it's not like I've been working those full 4 days, anyway.  I have felt entirely too crappy for that.  So this might not have been a great time to spend.  But, it's done, so I will make the best of it.

I think it would have gone better if there had been more young people there, but that was not the case.  The few people who WERE interested were REALLY interested.  Like, I felt weird having people gush over me or anything I'd done in such a way.  That is SOOO not what I'm used to.  LOL But it was also kind of nice, despite the awkwardness that is me.  😛

I only did nails for one girl and she was there all day at her grandmother's booth and we were both kind of bored at some point.  I didn't charge her.  She turned out to be my buddy for most of the day (she was 8 years old, for the record).  All of the money I made was from selling stuff and that's ok.  I got my business card out there into the world, so that is also good.

Unfortunately, I was not as prepared for this show as I wanted to be.  I didn't have all of the jewelry made, nor did I have any of my nail photos printed (though not for a lack of trying).  I am planning on doing OxfordFest in October, so that will give me time to build up a lot more stuff and get ready.  I think that will go over a lot better.  It is wayyy huger for one, and for two, there is always a younger crowd there.

Anyway.  I am sunburnt - which if you know me you know that means that I am going to be sick as hell in a little bit.  I am heading to the couch with some Excedrin as a pre-emptive strike to the headache I'm expecting and I will probably fall asleep there because DAMN, I'm tired.  And sleepy in a huge way.

I will mark the individual photos with what's left or not, in case anyone is interested.  And if you like something that I sold I can always make a special one just for you.  ❤

I sold the green holographic at the bottom left. The dark blue above it is not for sale because Shadow needs it. 😳

I sold the top left, the top pink, the top purple, and the bottom sky blue on the left.

These are all gone now, but I will make more. 🙂
