First things first! I would like to personally thank Maker Faire patrons. Sincere thanks for stopping by my booth and taking the time to get to know me. THANK YOU!

Recap: Saturday was a disaster! Star Wars stole the show. I don't give up that easy! I went home that evening and developed a new strategy.

Recap: Sunday I rearranged my display. I also introduced myself as the author of my books. People were courteous and respectful. I sold books! Thank you once again for visiting my booth. I was genuinely overjoyed to share my love of books and writing with you. ; D cheers!

Happy birthday to me...and minion more.

I decided to celey with minions. I wanted something my college age boys would probably go along with.
Picture
simple, tasteful and ...
Picture
Minion twinkies!
Picture
A little something to keep the minions busy while we BBQ.
Picture
Some after dinner minion games/challenges. (Five Below store).
Picture
Minion ball toss challenge. (Dollar spot at Target).
Picture
Minion mini golf. This was a hit for my college age kids. The holes were as silly and ridiculous as the minions. Turn the corner and the hole is on the right. Get the ball on the deck. Shoot the ball into the fire pit and the hole is in the top of the ash volcano.
Picture
First hole was pretty normal. After that, the minions got crazy!
Picture
Here we go! And the winner is... Chuck and erin! Guess after raising three wild and crazy kids you learn how to thrive in chaos. ; D
