We spent the weekend at Erddigg near Wrexham, on a stall at their Christmas market. The weather was a bit cold and we were outside in a rather drafty spot, but there was plenty of Christmas cheer (it helped that we were next to a very nice couple selling fruit liquers). Lots of visitors came through the gates and we sold quite a few craft kits and beads.
The Santa's grotto there is fantastic and I am thinking of taking my son back this weekend to see it.
The office closes for the festive period on Friday so I doubt I'll blog again until the new year so.....
Have a Very Merry Christmas and a Really Happy New Year!!!

Good feed back from fairs
Had a busy weekend at fairs.
Did a good school fair on Friday, the craft fair at Llangollen on Saturday was a bit quiet but the Sunday bead fair at the same venue was better.
Got some really positive comments about the Bizzy Kidz Kits, and sold lots of the bookmark and bangle kits, got to make up more for this weekend now!
My new top sellers list is:
Butterfly Bangle kits in pink and Blue
Wise Owl Book mark Kit
Animal Bookmark Kit
Boys Surfer Necklace Kit
Butterfly Necklet Kits in Blue and Pink

Busy Busy Busy!
It's all getting a bit hectic here now!
We have lots of fairs coming up between now and Christmas and I am busy designing lots more childrens craft kits using the new wooden beads and charms we have had in over the last couple of weeks.
We are attending more events held at National Trust properties than we have done other years, and the Bizzy Kidz Craft Kits have been really good sellers at those in the past. So it is also a case of trying to make sure we have enough stock of our exhisting kits to.
This year we are also trying out our new range of knitted flower coursages and hand made scarfs, which are embelished with beads that we sell.
All good fun but finding that there are not enough hours in the day to get it all done!
