I wanted to put on ads for the craft show, to advertise for vendors!! I did that today, only 2 of them would let me do that, but it's better than none!! I will search out the town web sites in the area too as I know they will have community calendars to post on!! But that is for tomorrow night!!!</div><br /><div align="center">Today I called back some of the vendors we had last year, so so far I have sold 7 tables!! I think I have another 20 or so to go!!

I'm hoping they will take advantage of the house market, as they are almost ready to buy again!! They had to relocate due to down sizing on DSS work place, but he is working steady again and this is good!!! DIL can always get a job in her field, as she is good at what she does!!</div><br /><div align="center"></div><br /><div align="center">Well I took Mom to Bingo tonight and played myself!! No wins for us though!! Usually I work at the bingo, but I helped then played for a change!! </div><div align="center">Should have just worked, I would have saved $25!!LOL </div><div align="center">Mom played all her games tonight, which is a first since she started going back after her stroke!!

Warm and sunny!! While driving you could really start to see the wonderful tree colours out!!! Wow What a sight they are going to be this fall!!!<br /><br />This morning we ended up going into town and <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">did </span>the usual, banking groceries, $store!!<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">LOL</span><br /><br />I just love the $ stores!! I went to one today and got the "Desperate House Wives" Board Game!! I couldn't believe it!! It comes in a large tin and it looks great!! I bought 4 and have given one away already!! My Sister took one, and was on her way to pick up some too!! I will be donating mine at Christmas time, as they are a great gift!! They were just $1!! <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Unbelievable</span>!!!!<br /><br />DH and I had a great lunch out at a spot we have not tried before, being new to the area, we try to see what we might like to try around town! The restaraunt we went to was called Neabours, and we loved it!! Resonable and great food!! We will go back for sure!!<br /><br />I have taken over the Burnt River United Church Christmas Craft Sale for Dalene, so I have emailed all my Vendor WANT ADS into 4 newspapers and I have called all the past vendors to see if they are interested in doing the sale again this year!! The other church in town is also having their Bazzar the same day so that will help!! Grant and I made big signs last year for the Hwy advertising the sale the week before, so we will use them again this year!! I will also advertise the sale itself when the time comes!! In another town there is a crafters community store so I will go in there and see if I can get a few business cards of vendors and call them too!! I'm trying to fill a second room at the community center and get this show bigger and better then ever!!<br /><br />Today I drew out the floor plan as I remember it and have started placing the peoples names in their spots!! It's not a lot of work as long as I stay organized!! LOL!!! I may change my mind on this but so far so good!!<br /><br />For me this is the first show of the season, so it's a good way to get myself organized with my own stock and to get my head wrapped around the show season!! Siked I guess in other words!!LOLPatriciahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07657255874936980458noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8457874990080266407.post-9415678363632566962008-09-24T17:53:00.000-07:002008-09-24T18:24:53.074-07:00Wednesday September 24th 2008<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxIj4A5dDShNJ5RAsDnncEeQKV4CBqKsvQq5h5DAGU-K4zv27TV0A_89gzleDRH6FyAhrF2oAZMkbBieR5iQFpmxW8iI1BH_jbe75Jf3eSqdPII7Yfpan_8_Ku9r3s7WGdqznP5uC2XJCB/s1600-h/pat.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5249756690988445698" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxIj4A5dDShNJ5RAsDnncEeQKV4CBqKsvQq5h5DAGU-K4zv27TV0A_89gzleDRH6FyAhrF2oAZMkbBieR5iQFpmxW8iI1BH_jbe75Jf3eSqdPII7Yfpan_8_Ku9r3s7WGdqznP5uC2XJCB/s320/pat.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div align="center">Well here we go!! </div><div align="center">I have decided to get on the band wagon and start .....</div><div align="center">Blogging!!</div><div align="center"></div><div align="center">My name is NORTH OF 7 aka Patricia, Patty, Pat, Pabs, Trish.</div><div align="center">It just depends on how long you have known me!!LOL</div><div align="center"></div><div align="center">I live in Cottage Country, in Ontario Canada!!</div><div align="center">Gods Country of the Great White North!!</div><div align="center"> </div><div align="center">Before I go on, I must explain the picture of me above!!LOL</div><div align="center">It was taken last Saturday at a dance, by.....
