PLEASE SHARE:
INFO ABOUT INTELLIGENT AND CRAFTY SHOW THIS WEEKEND!

Hello,
I thought you ladies may want to know about this super cool, not your
mama's craft festival, going on this weekend in O'Fallon, IL.  I am
involved featuring my ted ware.  I make bags, wallets, and other
fantastic wares.  Bring your friends and come on down.  I am vendor
#288, so if you come swing by my tent.  Also, Green Wall Studio, my
photo biz, is sponsoring the event, so you could possibly win a free
photo shoot!!  What a great deal.
I hope to see some of you there!
Michelle
