So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

Everyone Loves it Warm in Colorado

By Nate Weaver

Just the way mama made it, cozy, warm, one-of-a-kind, hard to replicate: these are just some of the thoughts that come about at the word "homemade". Hand-knitted sweaters, cookies and pastries from home recipes, hand-whittled wooden sculptures there are so many crafts that have their roots in the home and spread that homemade warmth. And what better way to spread the homemade warmth in a time when people everywhere are busy than through crafts and trade fairs and festivals?

But how do you to begin without any knowledge of what to do first? You would have to know what crafts and trade fairs are going on in and around Colorado. You would need to know how far it is from where you are or how much time you have to prepare for it.

People are definitely one source of that information. Networking efficiently with many people who know their way through participating in events such as those would definitely be a must-do to get the information you need. But that requires legwork and much hassle. What if you can't afford to take pains to do that?

Conveniently, there are databases of all crafts and trade fairs and festivals for every state that you could use. A handy calendar for events in Colorado is also available for you to use, too.

You would be able to share the homemade comfort from the things you make for yourself with others when you finally do get to participate in such fairs and festivals. And by doing that simple act of sharing with those too busy to make their own, you would be able to earn a little extra. Wouldn't that be a wonderful way of taking your hobby to the next level? You could even be known around Colorado for what you do.

By joining a service that keeps you updated on all these fairs and festivals happening in Colorado you would have an easier time getting ready for any new events you would plan to showcase your works in. You could plan out how much you could produce in the time given to you and you wouldn't have to rush too much if you plan well. The calendar will surely help you with that. It would be wonderful to take that hobby of yours a step further and make it a little business, too.
