Sampler Village

I want to introduce you to this brand new website & etsy shop called Sampler Village! Take a stroll through this majestic country road filled with goodies for you and your friends.

You'll be amazed with what fills the streets of this virtual village. A wide variety of handmade goodies for you to sample... soaps, clippies, jewelry, MLBB organizers, home decor and so much more...

Sample boxes starting at $20.00 will have a piece/coupon from many etsy and handmade vendors to share with you. Have you ever want to test a product before actually forking over the full price? You can do that here... the first set of boxes go on sale November 21st. Just in time for the Christmas shopping! Enjoy!

My Battlecreek Booth

So this is the final product of hours of work.... I got lost while trying to get there so tack on travel time too...LOL. I think it turned out pretty cute for a lil' 2x5' booth. I have to say I am really enjoying not having to be there either. Central checkouts ARE awesome! If I was there I would be worrying about the kids or they would be with me and I would be part of a circus. Ha! All my inventory is there which includes Mini's, Eco Lil's, Vinyl Lil's, Big(check size), and Document size designer organizers(which have yet to make their debut on Etsy).
I also have cute headbands that my sister sells displayed on the coat rack and by the mirror AND adorable wipe cases by Ashlee at The Prickled Pear on etsy. All of our products can be found in Southern Utah at Christensen's and Christensen's kids too!
On another note, if anyone is interested in doing a craft boutique in Washington, my sis Janet that sells the headbands will be putting a show on over at the Cotton Town Village. It is Nov 20-21st from 10-6 both days. There are sure to be many fun booths and gifts to buy for your Christmas list. If you are interested in joining the show as a vendor contact Janet at 435-628-9041 for more info. It is only $35 for a booth and that includes both days.

Today is the day....

...that I set up for the Battlecreek Boutique! Yeah! Well, accept one minor detail... it's my BIRTHDAY! Yeah, somehow I planned a boutique right over my birthday! So to celebrate I will be setting up my booth super cute so that I can sell sell sell.
Maybe after the show I'll be able to buy me something fun for my birthday:) Well, that is probably my husbands job but the Boutique will be a great place to find fun gifts for anyone you know with a birthday or anniversary coming up and especially for Christmas. And have I mentioned that My Lil' Budget Books make the perfect stockings stuffers!?! I am so excited for Christmas already and I haven't even gotten to Halloween yet which is another favorite holiday of mine!

Upcoming Events for MLBB!

I just wanted to let you all know that I am participating in a couple of upcoming events. I am so excited to be a part of these wonderful boutiques! I have heard so much about the Battlecreek Boutique but the other two boutiques are brand new ones that are sure to please as well! Come join us!

Battlecreek Boutique October 23-24th
Happy Halen Boutique November 14-15th

And hopefully this boutique as well. I know, two in the same weekend may be difficult but I don't have to be present at the Happy Halen so I might be able to do it. I'll keep you posted.

Posh Poppy Boutique November 14-15th

Thanks so much!

"What is a Lil' Budget Book?" you ask...

Well, it the best and most simple way to stay in style and stick to your budget! I speak from experience. My husband and I read the "Total Money Makeover" by Dave Ramsey and decided we really needed to follow through on what he teaches(which a big emphasis is to use cash only, it is harder to part with and once it is gone, it is GONE for good)

Accept I didn't like using my dumb white envelopes. So my creative mind got to thinking... "hey, I need to make a cute wallet in really cute fabric that I can divide and label all my cash in." Vwala! This is when it became MY "Lil' Budget Book!"

Others liked it so much I decided I would make a whole bunch and sell them to anyone who needs that extra help to stay on track...
