<span class="C-3"><a href="http://www.folksy.com/shops/ColaCreations" target="_blank">ColaCreations</a> has been involved in <a href="http://www.craftfest-events.com/" target="_blank">Craftfest</a> for too many years to remember! In fact I don't know the date of the first event I took part in, but I know I enjoyed it and learnt a lot! I guess I am what you would now call a Craftfest veteran!</span><span class="C-3"><br /></span></div>
<div class="Body3" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px; line-height: 18.48px;">
<span class="C-3">Being involved in Craftfest is so much more to me than just making sales. I've made new friends and learned new skills. I never entered any Craftfest event thinking I was going to be inundated with sales without a bit of work from myself, and I think that is a key thing to remember. Like with anything the more you put in, the more you get out!</span><span class="C-3"><br /></span><br />
The <span class="C-3">success of each <a href="http://www.craftfest-events.com/" target="_blank">Craftfest</a> event is partly due to the community spirit! Craftfest is a crafting community. If we ALL help promote the event then we will ALL benefit!</span></div>
<div class="Body3" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px; line-height: 18.48px;">

But Craftfest isn't just about making sales and networking, it is about learning. I have learned so much about social media marketing since I first started. From <a href="https://www.facebook.com/Colacreations">Facebook</a> to <a href="https://twitter.com/ColaCreations">Twitter</a> to <a href="https://uk.pinterest.com/colacreations/">Pinterest</a>, <a href="http://www.stumbleupon.com/stumbler/Colacreations">StumbleUpon </a>and more recently <a href="https://www.instagram.com/cola_creations/">Instagram</a> (in fact I think I have now become an Instagram addict - is the such a thing as IA - Instagram Anonymous??)</div>
<div class="Body3" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px; line-height: 18.48px;">

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
</span></h2>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">And we're off! Welcome to the first day of the May 2014 <a href="http://creative-connections.ning.com/">CRAFTfest event</a>!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><a href="http://creative-connections.ning.com/">CRAFTfest</a> is an online craft fair that takes place several times during the year. As with any event, part of it's ongoing success is due to the preparation and organisation that takes place in the weeks and months before the event itself. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">The ladies behind the scenes are not only responsible for ensuring the event runs smoothly for everyone and to provide help, support and guidance to all stallholders, but they also have their own stalls to set up and promote.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">So, who are the little workers behind the scenes and what are their stalls? I'm sure many of you will recognise the mug shots and names of some of our fabulous ladies, but do you know what their stalls are?</span><br />

We have developed our new <a href="http://colacreations.wix.com/colacreations">website,</a> joined the <a href="http://www.procraftersguild.com/about%20us.html">PCG </a>and are preparing for <a href="http://craftfest-events.com/">Craftfest</a>!</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">ColaCreations now has a new <a href="http://colacreations.wix.com/colacreations">website</a>! After what has seemed like forever the site is finally live and I am chuffed to bits with the end result! There are still a few small tweaks that need to be made but overall I think it's looking great. My craft items still need to be purchased through either Folksy or
WowThankYou, but I wanted a website not only to showcase the items I
create, but also as a point of contact for customers and so potential customers can read about the face behind ColaCreations!</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><b>ProCrafters Guild </b></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">We have also just joined the P<a href="http://www.procraftersguild.com/about%20us.html">roCraftersGuild</a> - a Guild established and run by crafters for crafters who want to be taken seriously in business. The PCG not only offers a great crafting support system, but also offer recognition <span class="C-1">for your
work in unique badges and certificates for your online websites, pages etc. Plus all </span>members appear on a directory of crafters that is open to the general public.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="color: purple;"><i><span style="font-size: large;"><b> Welcome to the World!</b></span></i></span> </span></h2>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">What an eventful summer! Over the last 8 weeks, my crafting has taken a bit of a backseat due to the early arrival of our beautiful little girl! Arriving 6 weeks early on 5th July (in the midst of the last <a href="http://craftfest-events.com/">Craftfest</a> event - so apologies again to my brilliant Blue Team for abandoning them and thank you to the other team leaders for stepping in!), she took us by surprise by not only arriving early, but rather quickly as well! Thankfully there was enough time (just!) to get us to the hospital and for Daddy to get himself there too so he didn't miss any of the excitment! We are now getting to grips with becoming parents and getting used to sleepless nights, dirty nappies and noise - but we love it and absolutely wouldn't change it for the world! Everyone has been so kind and so generous and we have been given some amazing gifts! There have been quite a few handcrafted items including plaques, knitted booties and clothes and the odd keepsake or two thrown in. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Book your CRAFTfest stall today! Simply complete the online <a href="http://www.craftfest-events.com/">booking form</a> to secure your place.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">The idea behind CRAFTfest is to showcase your items through an interactive 'stall'. CRAFTfest allows potential buyers to visit and browse all stalls and purchase items from your stall through links in your product descriptions.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Your stall will be open <span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: large;">24 hours</span></span> a day during the week long event, so more time for potential buyers to make a purchase!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">There will be plenty of promotions taking part in the run up to CRAFTfest and in the week the event is running so lots of opportunity for sales!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />Please come along and join us! We have a fantastic <a href="http://www.craftfest-events.com/group_leaders.html">group of team leaders</a> to help you along the way with advertising and promotions. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Once you have set your 'stall' up, it will look something similar to the below. If you click on the slideshow you will be taken to Colacreations Home Craftfest Stall. By clicking on the individual photos you will see a full description along with links on where the item can be purchased:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">Buttons, buttons, buttons....</span></span></h2>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Buttons......I just LOVE them! Different colours, different shapes, different sizes, different textures - and there are so many things you can do with them!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I have always used buttons in my crafting, from creating button jewellery such as <a href="http://folksy.com/items/2688454-Green-button-charm-bracelet">bracelets</a> and <a href="http://folksy.com/items/2893322-Colourful-button-brooches">brooches</a> to using them to embellish my ever popular <a href="http://folksy.com/items/3970538-Peg-Fridge-Memo-Magnets-Scandinavian">Peg Memo Magnets</a>, <a href="http://folksy.com/items/4169186-New-Baby-Personalised-Keepsake-Boy">Keepsake New Baby Art</a> and creating <a href="http://folksy.com/items/3445318-Heart-stitched-buttons">Cross Stitch Buttons</a>.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Over the last few weeks I have been experimenting using buttons with resin. My latest creation is now complete! A set of <a href="http://folksy.com/items/4373374-Button-Coasters">resin button coasters</a>. Each coaster is embedded with a shade of buttons in different shapes and sizes. My first set consists of yellow, green, blue and purple shades. I am so pleased with how they are turned out - a success!</span><br />

<span style="color: #6aa84f; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b><i><u>Baby Blanket obsession!</u></i></b></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I have always confessed to being a lover of knitting. Whether it is chunky knit scarves and snoods to smaller more delicate knits of arm warmers, funky flowers and head bands. I am now officially obsessed to knitting baby blankets!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">My obesssion started with the news that my husband and I are expecting our first baby. Of course I immediately wanted to get creative and make something special for the new arrival. Things have since got a little out of hand....and I have ended up with several completed baby blankets and am still working on more!!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">All are in different sizes, different stitches and varying colours.....the latest creation is a cream and navy stripe.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="color: #6aa84f;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">A huge big thank you!</span></b></span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">It's been another successful Craftfest! Last week saw the running of the Spring 2013 Craftfest - the biggest online craft fair. As usual it was a busy week filled with helping to promote the event through various mediums. Pinning, Tweeting, Stumbling, Blogging and Facebooking promotions were just some of the things that went on!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">For me by partaking in Craftfest I have 5 main aims:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">1. To achieve sales </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">2. To increase the awareness of the name ColaCreations and items I sell</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">3. To increase my network or fellow crafters</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">4. To learn about other web mediums such as Pinterest, Blogging etc</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">5. To increase the awareness of and promote Craftfest itself as an event </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Once again Craftfest has been a great learning experience and to some extent I have achieved all the aims I set myself. Each time I take part in Craftfest I manage to learn something new (the thing I am most excited about this time is backlinking!) and meet more great people, as well as of course chatting to old crafter acquaintances!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">The camaraderie and team work that goes on throughout the week of Craftfest is really phenomenal and something very special to be a part of.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Of course, Craftfest couldn't even operate if it wasn't for the two main ladies behind the scenes: Anna The Crystal Lady and Avril from Sprinkles & Sparkles. Both put an extraordinary amount of time and effort to making Craftfest the successful event that it is, so a huge thank you to both of them! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Craftfest is held on the <a href="http://creative-connections.ning.com/">Creative Connections Network</a> - this is a great place to meet like minded crafters and well worth joining. If you are not yet a member then join today!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">The next<a href="http://www.craftfest-events.com/"> Craftfest </a>will be taking place in June and booking forms will be available soon to book your place. If you are interested then visit <a href="http://www.craftfest-events.com/">Craftfest </a>today.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I am hoping the next Craftfest will see the launch of another range of great items from ColaCreations......I will keep you in suspense as to what that is!</span>ColaCreationshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12973661562945771627noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3667727376767840607.post-3281289631387746712013-03-23T00:35:00.000-07:002013-03-23T00:35:00.715-07:00My #Craftfest Wishlist<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">As part of our Twitter task earlier this week we were all able to have a bit of browsing time at <a href="http://creative-connections.ning.com/">Craftfes</a>t and put together a virtual wishlist of all our favourite items. Not an easy task when there are so many gorgeous things!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I thought today I'd share with you some of the goodies that would be on my #Craftfest Wishlist (so if anyone is in need of a Birthday/Christmas/or just because gift idea for me - here you are!)</span><br />
