A Story

I had bought this card around my first craft fair and recently this quote came up in a event I was at and it made me think of myself when I was a child. I got home and found the card in my first portfolio.

My Inspiration

I am a 24 year old graphic designer/artist and I started out at a young age of 11 doing craft fairs. It has always been my passion to create and sell my items so I can share that passion with others. At the age of 14 I was featured in our town's local newspaper at the age of 16 I had completed 10 craft fairs I chose to do one around September and one in November for 5 years I did that.

I have such a passion right now to start the trend again, I am looking for a group of young crafters/artist to do seasonal fairs that I put on:

1. We will need our own cool name to represent the young crafting nation
2. A popular place to put the shows on
3. A monthly group to meet and discuss ideas

So whoever is looking to sell their merchandise in a fun young setting where you make the rules:
