This winter I decided to take a big step and try doing a craft fair with all the items I've been making and selling on my Etsy site. So I did two different craft fairs that turned out to be very fun and good learning experiences for me. And I actually ended up making a few bucks in the process, so it was good news all around! These are a few pictures of what my booth looked like at the 2nd craft fair held at LCSC in Lewiston.
Felt flower clips and pins, bow ties, & headbands
My cute display table
Leg Warmers / Boot Socks
Minky animal blankets. I noticed that every one of these that I sold went to a Grandma. I guess I found their sweet spot!

It's become a Baird family tradition to cut down our Christmas tree the day after Thanksgiving. We got a $5 permit and went looking for our Christmas tree. We found the perfect one for us!
The easy part was chopping it down.....
The hard part was getting it home!

Cruise to the NORTH POLE!
In Coeur d'Alene they have a ferry ride inDecember called the Cruise to the North Pole. It takes you across the lake to Santa's workshop. It was a fun way to see all the lights that they have set up around the resort. It sure was cold though, we were glad we took blankets!
We found Frosty the Snowman!
We saw Santa reading the names on the "Nice" list. Good news, Wyatt, Kaylee, Kenzie, Brody, Hannah Jo, and Mariah were all on the list!

We walked around the Boardwalk to see all the lights and we got into the Christmas Season!
Lights on the floating boardwalk around the CDA resort.
Can you spot the nativity?
We thought it was cool to see all the Christmas lights reflected off the lake :)

The LDS church in Moscow put on its annual Nativities Around the World event again so we had fun volunteering. Aaron actually worked security one night to make sure no one broke in to steal any nativities! They put up about 100 nativities from members and the community.
