We're BBBAAACCCCCKKKKKK!!!!

Hello my wonderful creative friends!

We took a few months off from craft shows (Brandy just HAD to have a baby!) BUT we are in the midst of setting up our next show for July 9th. This is an ALL INDOOR show at Los Prados Golf Course on Ann and Bradley. We will be advetising in TWO newspapers (The View for two different areas), craigslist, facebook, Handmade in Vegas, Ed Bozarth Chevrolet, Fox 5 News, 1,000+ flyers, and MORE! We will have 20+ signs (large, easy to read signs) posted in the area with the times and arrows directing shoppers to our show. We will be sending out an email to all of our friends but if you are unsure if you are on our email list then feel free to email us at spillthebeansetc@gmail.com.

Spaces will be 6 foot by 4 foot and available on a FIRST COME FIRST SERVE basis. Once we receive your COMPLETED application and payment, we will forward you the room layout and you will then be required to email us your top 3 choices for location.

We are looking to fill this event with 50 vendors! We have room for approximately 60 but 50 will allow our vendors some breathing room.

Please allow us time to send out our intro email and application. This event is open to ALL Handmade in Vegas team members, handmade vendors, and approved home-based businesses. We ALWAYS try our best to ensure that our vendors are spread out and away from similar vendors which is why we need your top 3 booth picks.

If you have any further questions, feel free to email us at spillthebeansetc@gmail.com or call us at 702-523-8197.

<3 Brandy and Julie

P.S I will upload a picture of baby Logan soon!

Handmade Holidays & More Show

Hello Handmade team! Above is the flyer for our November 20th show. We are almost to 40 vendors! Our July show only had 26! We have had an excellent response and want to thank all of you! We are still accepting applications however, we are full on jewelry vendors unless it is recycled jewelry, etc. We would love to see some more baby items (my first baby boy will be here in less than 10 weeks!) or any other unique craft! If you have any questions, please email us at spillthebeansetc@gmail.com or give Brandy a call at (702)523-8197.

Thank you all for your support! We hope to see you there!

helping hands of our team working to promote Handmade

Here is the latest article promoting Handmade In Vegas. I got a few great photos of some of our members who helped out with the fresh52 grand opening. See if you made the cut!!!!! Please subscribe to this publication and help me promote you and the rest of the team here. The more subscribers the more attention i get from the publisher, the better for all of us.
There are 200 + members in this group I am told. I have less than 20 subscribers for these articles. How can I promote Handmade In Vegas without your support? I know you all want to make more money, RIGHT? I really need you to help out by subscribing and sharing the articles with your friends and family. This is a TEAM effort.
For the record I have gotten 4 times the national average in viewers for my personal category. I am doing what I can and doing good, but there is always room for improvement. It only takes a few minutes to look at the articles. If you post comments on the articles and subscribe and share the articles you will be helping each and every one of your team members here at Handmade In Vegas.
Remember we are having a huge event in August? Best thing to do is get this coverage up so we can really promote the heck out of our first event. We want to make a very big turn out for Mt Charleston!!!!!!!! Read and subscribe now
Wishing everyone a happy, productive week ahead.

Henderson Arts and Crafts Examiner Published For Third Thursday Artwalk

I do so want all of you to take a look at this one. I included everyone I heard was going to be attending. Handmade In Vegas Promoting Third Thursday Artwalk, please read.

Supporting Our Handmade In Vegas Team

Just published this latest article about who is doing what shows and where. Keep me posted on where you are selling outside of Etsy.com.

I will be happy to publish articles to help draw attention to the event. This is a give and take relationship, support my writing so I can make the most of it for everyone on the team!

Subscribe to my site on the Examiner so you can read all the things I write about arts and crafts out and about the Henderson/Las Vegas area.

Happy Sales to everyone! C.S. Alexis

Handmade In Vegas, an online team of artists and crafters

Please take a look. If anyone has news I should write about please let me know. Want to make a suggestion? That would be good too!

Educational Tutorials....

HELLO from the Educational Team!!! (Rochelle Williamson, Kathy Wheeler, and Staysi Lee) We are planning on doing educational tutorials a couple of times a month. Some weeks they will be helpful hints on how to make your etsy business more successful and others will be new techniques or crafts.

If there is anything that you would like to learn more about, please let us know! Leave comments here or email us. We would be more then happy to research and report to all of our team members!! Hopefully these tutorials help everyone and soon we will all be able to "quit our day jobs!"

Pushing My Writing Home

I wrote a quick article about the Henderson NV Farmer's Market that is held each Thursday in Henderson. There are vendors there who sell arts and crafts. I really am not sure if any of our team members are setting up there but I personally have given it consideration. The reason I published the article is to try and push my publisher to make my profile changes.
Some of you may recall that I relocated here just about 6 weeks ago from the Chicago area. I was writing as the Chicago Outdoor Living Examiner. Since moving I applied for the position to write as the Henderson Arts And Crafts Examiner. I hope to make this a perfect avenue to help our team and all of the team members who might be interested in additional publicity. What would be great? To get all of the team members to help support each other by reading the articles I write and sharing them with everyone you know who is interested in Arts and Crafts.
Please go to my articles and subscribe so you don't miss out. It will do much to help support everyone on the team as I begin publishing. I will be doing individual interviews, shop interviews, covering arts and crafts events and publishing as much information as I can within the region. I would like to get my writing off to a good start in Henderson. The more subscribers the better and the more you share the more it will help everyone. This is a win win situation for getting the word out.
HAPPY READING and hopefully the Examiner will get my page updated to my new title as Henderson Arts and Crafts Examiner taken care of before the folks in Chicago wonder what the heck is going on! By all means, please feel free to send me information you find worth publishing an article about, especially if it will help our team. Thanks!

Hello...

Hi everyone, I'm Crystal from Twiddlebugz Designz.  I'm excited to be part of this team promoting crafts in Vegas, and each other. I've grown up in Las Vegas, raised my kids here, and seen so much growth it's unreal...but the crafting community, well...I'm super excited to see anything crafty happening around here. 

I'm married to my high school sweetheart, we've got 2 boys and a daughter in law. I live to craft...I swear it's in my DNA.  I've taught craft classes 18 of the last 25 years (Tole painting, sewing, general crafts, and more).  I've participated in craft shows for 25 years and even organized a few.  I work holidays and a few weddings at a florist shop.

My husband and I have spent 17 years in the Scouting program with our boys, it's so rewarding and touches many lives in a positive way.  We've now started a BBQ team and look forward to our first competition in July in Arizona.  (TrailhoundSmokers.Blogspot.com)

My Etsy shop is Twiddlebugz.  Please come by and visit, heart me, and add me to your favorites.  I look forward to meeting many of you at upcoming meetings...sorry about missing the first one.

Happy crafting everyone!

Writing About Local Arts and Crafts

Hey everyone. I just got the news that I was excepted to write as the Henderson Arts and Crafts Examiner. What this means????
I will be able to follow any and all local things pertaining to Arts and Crafts. I will be covering artists, doing interviews, craft fairs, art shows, and anything else that is of interest in this field. I hope to be able to help promote everyone and everything Arts and Crafts in the Henderson, Las Vegas and surrounding areas. I will want to build a strong reader base and hope that all of you will help with this.

It will take a few days for them to get my web page set up with a bio and photo. When that is ready I will send a shout out here so everyone can read the articles. Promotion is what builds business and we are all looking to do that. This should be a great tool to help the Etsy Does Vegas Team if I can get the word out. Stay tuned here and I will post a link to the web site when they have it ready to write on.

Articles will be current, short bits of information posted to a nationwide Internet publisher, The Examiner. I will be publishing as often as possible. The more I write about all of you and the more readers I can get the better for everyone. I will include up and coming shows, directions, links and interviews that will be of interest to vendors as well as customers so be sure to share the post with all of your friends. I feel like this will grow in to a wonderful way to promote Arts and Crafts in Henderson, Las Vegas and all of South Nevada.
