My 5 Favorite Craft Supplies Right Now!!

This is a list of some of my favorite craft supplies.

1) Clear Spray Paint:
I use this stuff for everything. The thing I use it the most for is on rusty metal. It stops it form      continuing to rust and doesn't let the rust some off on to things.

2) A Good Pencil:
Then I'm drawing or writing a list I start it in pencil. My favorite one is one that my mom got me for Christmas this last year. It is a Paper Mate sharp writer #2

3) A Notebook:
This goes with the pencil but I can't go anywhere with out my notebook. I go through them really fast too. Between notes to list I could have 4 at a time in my bag.  the best one I have found fits great in my bag is the 2 subjects medium 100 sheet college ruled ones from Dollar General.

4) Paint Brushes:
When I am painting I use the Royal & Langnickel Paint brush I got at Walmart. I know there is better ones but I love how these fell in my hand. And because I lose everything I don't have to worry about losing a very expensive one.

5) A Ruler:
Yes a ruler!!! I love a straight line. I can't always get words or objects in the middle of a piece of wood or on paper but it has to be straight.

I really hope this list helps you. And if you have questions about any of these let me know in the comments below.

Inspirational People To Me

 

My grandparents are the first people to introduce me to the craft world. They would make what items and sell them at small school crashes. They also had a small booth in a craft mall in Jenks, Oklahoma. My grandmother taught me not only how to sell but how to decorate a booth to show off the item you were selling. You should decorate for holidays and always priced to sell. My grandfather would work all day at Homeland and then come home and build shelves or cut wood for my grandmother to paint. They definitely showed me this life and I remember every time I decorate a booth her a little secrets.

 

 

The next person would be my own mother. She was a DIYer before DIY was a thing. My dad would leave for school out of town and when he came back something would be painted or removed. This one time she took out latticework from the kitchen to the living room and when my dad came home he thought she had gone crazy. She even pulled laminate flooring in the kitchen by herself. To this day she is still doing DIY‘s and I love to help her with them.

 

 

With these wonderful people as an example to me I have learned so much. One day I hope to be like them in someway.

A Recap of 2017...

A recap of 2017...

2017 start off with 30 shows booked. By the end of the year we did 22 shows, travel to four different states, slept in 15 different hotels , and sold a lot of junk. 

 

 

Planning for 2017

 

Dots are the places we went for shows.

 

 

We had a lot of problems with travel, trucks and more. But God was and always will look over us.

The junk we have found and sold this past year has been our best yet. From awesome gates to truck doors we are just getting started.

 

That time we bought out another vendor!!

 

In 2017 we got to open our own shop. Opening it has been a dream of mine for years. We have tons of great ideas coming and it will be awesome!!

 

To wrap up 2017 it was a difficult year but it was the best year for Junk!! Here’s to an awesome 2018 and we can’t wait to see you along the way.
