A Craft Show that Benefits a Worthy Cause

Mark Your Calendars....An exceptional
Christmas Craft Show
will be held this Fall at the Christian school where my children & most of my nieces & nephews attend. All of the proceeds will go to the Christian School. So, if you're crafty (in a good way) & are looking to spice up your summer with some craft-making, I'd love it if you'd donate your homemade treasures to our children's Christian School's CHRISTMAS CRAFT SHOW.




Since someone I very much admire (and am related to) is in charge of this
Christmas Craft Show
at our children's school, I was busy snapping photos at a
Craft Show on Saturday at the beach!
My dad treated my mom and me to this delightful craft show...that was an added treat!
A Craft Show that keeps the attention of my dad is a hit in my book!





Check out the adorable Mason jar shell lamp..so creative!









Do you see the
wooden anchor decorated with shells


- a definite beach house treasure!





Need I say more?









This stand was my favorite...check out the purses on the left...adorable.
Do you see an attractive bronze-colored woman making a purchase in the background?
That's my mom buying....









...a handy, most-creative wrap around towel

- NO NEED to worry about it falling...
it's held up with some hidden Velcro!






Also, at this stand was some reversable belts





And, to dress up your tank tops....










These
beautiful birdhouses
reminded me of
Christmas Craft Shows from Long Ago...










When I saw these plates,
I remembered my sisss...
I mean the lady who is in charge of this year's Craft Show at our kiddos' Christian School....
she's made many of these attractive plates before.
It's really not too difficult!








What a Surprise!!! A friend from our church at home was one of the exhibitors....
she makes the most amazing baskets!








Small spreaders, spoons for little dishes, etc. Cute, cute, cute








My children have hooded towels similar to these at home & they still use them...
these towels are their favorite!









Composition books dressed up as Journals - I could do this!









Not such a good picture - a lady just walked in my way...but you get the idea -
a homemade Growth Chart held up by an oversized clothespin!








This picture was of one of about 3 stands devoted to American Girl doll clothing. Unfortunately this was my least favorite of the 3 stands, but again, you get the idea.





Homemade Ornaments - I apologize for the poor photography









Homemade Soaps - hmmm, I wonder if they use the BEST OIL




(the oil my dad sells - hee hee)





Lastly, the stand that got the most attention...the HANDMADE BRACELETS

only 3 for $20 or $7 each....I couldn't resist...
actually, my Mom couldn't resist and I reaped the benefit of her nonresistance!
I really liked the treasure boxes they used to display their many bracelets.



Today's blog is full of pictures of projects that are pretty easy to create...did I wet your whistle? Are you interested in getting some crafts made & donating them to our school's CHRISTMAS CRAFT SHOW? Leave a comment if you'd like more information. THANK YOU for stopping by!

  1. Very interesting! Lots of memories from LCS's Christmas gift shops from years ago. The wheels are turning... I can't believe I missed that craft show, except with three babies I don't think it would have worked anyway. Your mom is surely a generous lady.
