she's crafty.
Every year, right at prime Christmas-present-buying-time, Portland hosts a giant crafty extravaganza called Crafty Wonderland.
Kira, Lauren, our friend Kelli and I all went for the first time ever this past Saturday and it was way better than I even imagined!
It pretty much is a giant room at the convention center where talented people come together to sell their goods to people who want to buy unique, handmade gifts.
It was kind of hard to take pictures since there were so many people in a giant room but here are a few awesome things that caught my eye...
the sarahhoo booth:
she was selling these awesome little gnome guys:
seeing these made me want to learn how to do embroidery:
and I really wanted one of these:
this guy takes found images and puts tape on them
to create some awesome mixed media art: 
super cute applique stuff:
I was in a crafty mood once I got home so I decided to make a
festive banner for our Portland print:
oh yeah...
I have lots of craftiness up my sleeve but I can't share yet since they will be presents!
I will show you what I have been up to after Christmas!
you totally rock that beard :).
Haha I'm so glad we stopped for you to take that photo at the end. Hilarious!
