Hello to all members, passers-by, curious onlookers, and shy lurkers, and welcome to our regular daily check-in post. Just leave a comment below to let us know how your current projects are progressing, or even if they're not.
Checking in is NOT compulsory, check in as often or as seldom as you want, this community isn't about pressure it's about encouragement, motivation, and support. Crafting is meant to be fun, and what's more fun than sharing achievements and seeing the wonderful things everyone else is creating?

There may also occasionally be questions, but again you don't have to answer them, they're just a way of getting to know each other a bit better.


Today's Question: No question today.


If anyone has any questions of their own about the community, or suggestions for tags, questions to be asked on the check-in posts, or if anyone is interested in playing check-in host for a week here on the community, which would entail putting up the daily check-in posts and responding to comments, go to the Questions & Suggestions post and leave a comment.

I now declare this Check-In OPEN!

Craft fair was a bust. 😥 I did get my table fee back, and made about $20 more, but it was a VERY disappointing turnout. ALL the vendors were complaining that it just wasn't as busy as in past years, and no one was really buying anything. I may have priced my stuff too high, also. Sigh. I don't know if I will try another one, I put a lot into this.

That's a shame, because you did put a lot of work into it and didn't get that much back.

So sorry it wasn't as good as you'd hoped, that must have been a big disappointment. Still, you did make a profit in a time when a lot of people are watching their pennies, and it wasn't just your stall, so you know you're on the right track, the buyers just weren't there this time.

But... YOU DID IT! You booked your stall, you made things, you got all the preparations done, and you tried your best. You should give yourself a pat on the back for all of that. You did good. Look at what you achieved rather than the poor turnout.

I'm so sorry ♥

That's too bad, after all that work.

Aw that's sad. I honestly don't know how people make any money at all by the time they pay table fees and have stallholder insurance. Still, you tried. It's a lot of work for little results.

I'm so very sorry to hear that!
