Seattle Trip...craft show


Had a great weekend with my friend Liz (known as "Snowman Lizzy") in Lake Stevens Washington.

Liz and her friend Cindy have been designing and creating snowmen for this craft show for years. I must have over 20 of Liz' original snowman creations. I flew to Seattle to experience this event for the first time along with Tina, (another friend of Liz & Cindy's) from California, who has attended this show for past 10 years.

Liz, Tina, and Bruce (Liz' husband) setting up for the craft show.

Liz & Cindy selling their snowmen!
Their snowmen have become a huge draw to the show, I witnessed this myself. When the clock struck 10 am sharp, the doors flew open and the mad rush began!! Their faithful customers flooded their booth and grabbed for any snowman they could get their hands on. I stood back in shock-n-aw!!!!






It was a fabulous weekend all the way around, good visits, good food, Christmas cheer, and reconnecting with friends!

Chris, Tina, and Liz....getting ready to leave for the craft show.

Oh wow, it's a small world. I have relatives who live in Lake Stevens, and I wouldn't be surprised if they attended this craft fair!

I like your new winter look here on the blog.

I really like that Snowman with feet. How am I missing your posts? You must be in the dreaded "not updating" category. Don't worry. I'll catch on eventually and come looking for you!
