Spring has Sprung

The Groundhog said 6 more weeks of Winter and it is still cold and snowy ALL over the United States, but on Saturday, February 8 Spring Sprang at the SOKOL Gymnastics Spring Craft Fair! Cupcakes, jewelry, handmade pens by PUGH, were just some of the vendors at this event.

I have been wanting to make my booth more KID friendly and inviting ... so I have added a couple bean bag chairs, a rug, and a small table for coloring MUFFIN pictures! IT WORKED! It was wonderful seeing the kids feeling right at home in my cozy children's area! It also gave me a chance to talk with their parents and make some sales! I also got invited to the Bryson Elementary Spring Carnival because a mom saw me and said "My son LOVES your book and wants to meet you!" She went on to say "so you're Muffin's mom!" Her mother had purchased the first Muffin book a while ago and so I will be a vendor at Bryson's Spring Carnival in April!

Let me know what you think of my KIDS area! Any suggestions on how to make it better? I'm thinking a few clipboards instead of a little table ...
Comment below and let me know ... if I have more than 10 comments I will choose a person who can choose one of ANY of my books.

What would a SOKOL Craft Fair be without BACON? Yep ... BACON! There's Steven, trying to make friends with the SOKOL piggy!
