Hello. I thought you might enjoy seeing some photos from last Saturday's Crafty Chicks Show & Sale. There were a wide variety of talented artists on hand and lots of great ideas for Christmas shoppers. It was a fun, festive day and I enjoyed meeting everyone and seeing their work.
Here are just a few of the artists at the show. Click on each photo to visit the artists' website or shop (if available), and do some Christmas shopping yourself. Enjoy. :)
