Those are so cute.
You are smart to begin now.
I don't know if I'll make anything to sell this year tho I have some time and could use the money. Not inspired (yet?).
I'd love to know what other people are doing.

My daughter & I are making salt dough snowmen really cute.Theyre about 3" high and chubby.

Christmas items are showing up at craft shows. We took my wife's cardinal Christmas ornaments to a major show in NJ last week and did very well.

Thanks Christopher - I value your input as I know you have done this a long time... I will start Christmas items on the 5th of next month - the same time I will be NOT be selling Neck Coolers. Last week-end at the rodeo, it was 106ú and 104ú...

I painted a couple fan blades, heres a photo, would love to see the salt dough snowman if you would not mind sharing.

Oddie, Your Santa blade man is so cute! Looks like the hat is cloth, is it? Jan

For us, bird ornaments are what's selling. We find the pine cones in the yard and my wife makes the ornament

Nice work!
