Oktoberfest 2009 is now down in history! This weekend took a lot of work to get ready for, but I think it was so worth it to see so many of my clients & friends come out to see us at Oktoberfest. It was soooo cold on Saturday, but yesterday was much better. Seems like a lot of you thought it was fun to see me bundled up like an eskimo.
I need to blog about the crazy quilted blanket I was bundled up in… it has a great story! I didn’t even have to wear my mittens yesterday!
I’d been getting ready for this for so long, and the weekend went by so fast. I spent last week picking up the materials, then painting, then painting, and sewing. Sewing what, you ask? Custom, boutique-style burp cloths! You can see them & purchase them here: www.yettobestudios.etsy.com.
I need to thank a LOT of people for their help making this weekend possible: my sweet husband, Mike, for all of his “manpower” this week (translated: “Honey, will you help me with this?”); my children, for being my little gophers, especially Ethan, who worked his little tail off!; my Daddy, who cheered Ethan on at his football game when I couldn’t; my Momma, who came and helped me Saturday in the cold, cold weather; Landon, for helping set up and for the techie stuff; Angel & Megan Reeves, for helping me with the first shift Saturday morning, and being so enthusiastic about my work!; Janice & Macy Gilbert, for coming to help, too; Melissa Simpson, for being a great friend, and for helping me all afternoon Sunday; and did I mention Mike for being the bestest husband ever???
We had exactly 100 entries for the Yet To Be Giveaway. The drawing was for a session & 11×14 Signature Print. The boys drew the names (I decided at the last minute to draw for three prizes because the boys each wanted to draw the winner!) Winners will be notified later today or tomorrow.
I got the Online Brochure done just in time for Oktoberfest, if you want to check it out.
If you want to know about these fabulous Christmas Frames, call me, because I think they are just fabulous, and I’m sure they will be hot sellers. I’ve sold two before revealing them to everyone at Oktoberfest! They’re 30% off, too! =)
I’m gonna go get another cup of joe, because I’m pretty tired. Thanks again, everyone, for being the best clients, friends, and family a girl could have!
