OK, I am an emotional wreck right now. Craftacular is coming up and I am feeling ALL the feelings. As a planner for the event I am excited by all the response we've gotten and completely nervous about all the unknowns. Will anyone show up? Will everything run smoothly? Will the vendors be happy with how things are run? Will we have enough volunteers?
As a vendor I'm starting to panic because I haven't gotten as much stuff made for the event as I would have liked. Will anyone buy my stuff? How am I going to display everything? Is there going to be enough foot traffic to make things worthwhile? Of course the big question is: Can I eat from each of the food vendors in a 5 hour period and not explode?
Anyway, that's how I'm feeling. I hope YOU are feeling excitement and anticipation. I hope you have sent out the evites and are gathering the family and friends for a unique holiday shopping excursion. I hope you come ready to eat and shop!
