Creative Cafe Happy Hour November 28

We will be posting our Creative Cafe Happy Hour projects every week in this blog. So... drum roll please... this week we have an ADORABLE stocking to get you in the mood for the Christmas season. It can be used on a page (always my favorite!!) or as a decoration (okay - that might be my favorite too).

We will title our Happy Hour blog so you can easily find it if we have posted other blogs (yes... I will be posting other blogs... I just loved the Creative Cafe one so much I wanted it to stay for a while!) By the way - we are loving our new motto... live a creative lifestyle!

See you at the bar! (the Creative Cafe bar!!)

Finally!

Day 1 of Creative Cafe... we love it! We made a super cute embellishment and have really cute samples and all I want to do is sit at the bar all day and work on projects. It is so fun! So - make a date with your friends and stop by to Creative Cafe where you will be inspired to live a creative lifestyle!

So - want a real look at what we've done?

After a ton of prep work we unloaded the boxes (the fun stuff).

Jason came to the rescue with a few technical difficulties... which was really nice of him since he is still upset we had to give up the bar!

Steph came to help... and brought some additional help with her - but soon realized her additional help was not so helpful (pricing the store supplies??). But I'm not complaining because we will probably need them again someday (thank you Eric!)

Then Betty came to the rescue! A real dot the i's cross the t's type person is GREAT when the going gets tough.

So we were finally done (and did I mention exhausted?)

But it was so worth it because at the end it looks like this:

And today it looked like this:

Live a Creative Lifestyle!

Sleep tight... see you tomorrow!

5 more days to go!

The art bar is set up --- only it is set up in our house. (not kidding) Oh the things we make our husbands do! The only problem is convincing him that although it is called a BAR - there will be no keg going behind it - really Jason - I am not kidding when I say - no keg! As soon as I convince him it would not make a great addition to our back porch, it will be relocated to the store for Monday.

6 more days to go!!

We are counting down to Creative Cafe. Come join us on Monday, November 12th to get a first look at the anticipated arrival of Creative Cafe.

We have a new motto at Scrappy Boutique inspired by Creative Cafe... "Live a creative lifestyle." And with our new motto in mind, we are dreaming about rows of bins like a candy store filled with tags, buttons, felt and chipboard with coordinating ribbons, stickers, papers and more.

Pull up a seat to our new art bar, dig into the bins, complete a project and "Live a creative lifestyle."
