Hippity Hop - State Fair Style

Hello Hippity Hoppers!!

Happy Monday - the great State Fair of Texas opened on Friday and it is living up to its name!  We have been there three times already (Friday, Saturday, and Sunday) and plan on going a few more:-)  I don't know what it is about it - I think it is that there is something for everyone and people from all walks of life can coexist there peacefully....

This is what they were giving away to the women this weeked when they walked through the gate....  I've got two - one for reading and one for making into those cool paper flowers everyone is making these days. I don't have a sample yet but I will next week! Nice eye candy on the cover, though.


Of course, I also have an Ippity project that I totally borrowed from Eryn - a banner for my Ippity booth at the Home Based Business Expo at Waterview Church of Christ in Richardson, TX on Saturday, October 16 from 9 to 2.  I hope you'll visit if you're in the neighborhood!

I used three sets for this - the letters are from "Alphabetically Adorable," the borders are from "Sweet Thoughts of Springs," and the music background is from "Music of My Heart."  Once I stamped the borders, I decided to cut around them on the top of each triangle for a little more interest. I used Nestabilities for the oval and scalloped oval that I put the letters on.  I think it looks pretty cute:-)




I hope you all have a great week and can have as much fun as we'll be having trying the fried foods and visiting the Fair attractions!

Remember to leave some love and visit all the other Ippity folks on the Hop today!

Definitely a very cute banner, I just love that alpha set too! How was the booth? Did you do well in sales? I've yet to be able to do a show or craft faire...the schedules just haven't worked.
