Your hand painted tic tac toe games are so simple and sweet. They would be great to entertain kids at restaurants while waiting for their meal to arrive.
Thank you 😊 I agree, that would be a great place to use them
Great products and pricing!!!! Pricing always depends on where you live and what you have into it. You’ve made something for everyone! I’m prepping for my upcoming craft shows, too! Wishing you good luck with your sales!!!!! Would love to see your setup!
Thank you so much 😊 I hope you do well at your craft fair too!! I will try to post a short video showing my table set up, that shouod be on November 1st or 2nd so keep an eye out for that 💗
I just love your crafts. I totally enjoy your tutorials. You explain everything so easy and so simple to where it makes it enjoyable to do. Thank you for sharing your crafts and your talents with us.
Thank you SO much Judy 😊 I love that you're enjoying my videos and appreciate you taking the time to let me know 💗
Thank you for a relaxing video! I love the winter scenes on the ornaments! So pretty! You are an artist!
Aww thank you so much!! I'm really glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for watching 😊💗
I'm sorry your Fall market was quiet. I loved all your work but those hand-painted ornaments are something special. I particularly love the one with the barn. The simpler ones with the ribbon and wooden beads over the wood round gave a lovely modern farmhouse feel. I'll be doing the first market I've done in years in a little over a month - the weekend after yours. I'm taking my Junk Journals and packs of supplies. Thanks to you, I have a few ideas for things to do at a cheaper price point, but I'm holding back from buying new supplies and trying to work with what I have in my craftroom - in case it's a little slow.
Thank you so much! That's just the way it goes with craft fairs, I try not to get upset about it. I'm hoping my next two will be better. I appreciate you taking the time to leave your comments, I really enjoyed reading them and I hope your upcoming show does really well 😊💗
Hey Shanda. All of your items are so beautiful and quality made. Thank you for sharing them with us and giving me inspiration! 💕
Thank you so much Dinah! I always appreciate your support and kind words 💗😊
You are so talented! Absolutely beautiful items. Amazing! Wish you great success on your 2024 craft fair!
Thank you so much Irene 😊💗
Wow, I love your hand painted pieces, they are so beautiful! The hot chocolate crates are a great idea, you painted them so nicely. I’m going to try to imitate some of your ornaments for next year. It was serendipitous that I found your channel this morning (2:30am). I was scanning my files looking for different styles of mini album pages, I like to have flaps, pockets and tags. I try to keep them interesting, but I was having trouble sorting through the fog, until I found you! You are so talented, I’m grateful that you have chosen to share your work with us. Thank you!♥️🙏🏻
Aww thank you Cheryl! I appreciate you taking the time to leave your sweet comments. I'm so glad you enjoyed my video and glad you were inspired. Thank you for watching 😊💗
Great projects. Good Luck on your craft fair. Thanks for sharing and have a great day
Thank you Marilyn 😊💗
The marshmallows are too cute! Love the hot cocoa glass! ❄
Thank you 😊
I just found your channel and I wish you the best of blessing on your craft fairs!!
I appreciate that so much, thank you 😊💗
Beautiful items! You are so talented!
Thank you so much 😊 💗
You have made so many beautiful items!
I have one of your recipe keepers, I'd have a lot more of your items if I lived closer😊
May God bless your family and your crafting business.
Aww thank you sweet friend 😊 I appreciate your kind words and support, so much. I pray blessing for you and your family too 💗
Sondra I absolutely loved this tutorial!!! I know I am not there in person at your craft fairs but I can certainly tell that every item was made with Love! Outstanding job. BTW, I wish I could be at your craft fairs! Like another viewer said, it would be nice to see your set up as I do some of the same type items as you. Thank you sooo...... much for sharing your talent!!! Good luck at your shows!
Thank you SO much Terri!!! I appreciate your sweet comments, they are so encouraging. I will post a short video on Nov. 2nd showing my table set up so keep an eye out for that. If you happen to live in Kentucky let me know I'll give you my show details. I hope you have a wonderful craft fair 😊💗
Thank you! I look forward to seeing your set up!!!
New subscriber here, too! We are always looking for craft fair ideas. We put items like the book marks and lip balm holders in an area this year we are calling "Stocking Stuffer Area." I think people are looking for items like that now. We have two more craft fairs coming up. Good luck and can't wait to see how yours goes!!!!🎄
Hi 😀 A Stocking Stuffer area is great idea! I typically put signs on items that say "Great Stocking Stuffer" or "Great gift for Teachers, Neighbors, Co-workers" just to give shoppers ideas. I definitely think it helps. Thanks for being here 😊💗
New subscriber! Great ideas! Can't wait to view your tutorials!
I hope you find inspiration here. Thank you so much 😊💗
Your hand painted ones are amazing! You may have found your own niche there
Aww thank you so much Jessica! Maybe so 😊💗
Thank you for sharing these great crafts. Where do you buy the resealable clear bags for packaging?
I buy most of them from Amazon but some I get from clearbags.com
If there are any you would like specifically I can give you links for them, just let me know 😊💗

Thank you so much! God bless you. 💗
Love all your creations! Your prices are very reasonable and budget friendly. Hope you do well with your shows.
For your 1/2 journals if you add a pen they may sell faster. I buy the papermate pens from dollar tree to add to mine.
Thank you Lisa 😊💗
You are so talented!!
Thank you Valerie 😊💗
Wow!
Hello
I am super glad I stumbled onto your channel!!! WOW you have some GOD given talent with your painting!!!
I have to ask do you make the stencils or do you purchase them from somewhere?
Aww Thank you so much Bonnie 😊 I don't make stencils I buy them from Amazon and Temu. If you have one you're interested in I can send you the link. Thanks for watching ☺️💗
Just discovered your channel! Amazing ideas and such great quality crafting. Just curious- did you decide on what you’d sell the little wood houses for? What an awesome idea being more seasonal! 🥰
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you're here 😊 I marked the single houses for $8 and the one that had 3 houses together for $12
@@SimpleCreationsByShanda Aww thanks so much for the reply! I meant to subscribe- doing that NOW before I forget! 😅☺️ Be blessed dear! 😇 Missy
I love everything again this year!! You are so creative! How much do you sell Rock Tac Toe for?
Thank you so much Debra ☺️💗 Last year I sold the Rock-tac-toe for $12 but this year I'm selling for $15, just because they take so much time to make. Sorry if I forgot to mention the price of these in this video 🤭
Love it all. Can you tell me where you got the plastic covering on your journals? Thanks!
Thank you 😊 I get the clear sleeves for my Journals on clearbags.com item# BC101Q . The size is 10 1/4" x 19". Here's a video showing how to put them on th-cam.com/video/mGrAEhWgTOs/w-d-xo.htmlsi=MAcwtYFgURnO4K1H
New subscriber here, I just came across your channel! These are look great! Hope you do well at your craft fair(s)! ❤
Thank you! I'm so glad you're here 😊💗
You have a large variety of items. Very nice.
Thank you 😊 💗
I’m so happy I found you. I have done 2 craft shows this fall (first shows ever lol) I so appreciate videos like this. And I really love that you give your pricing!! That is one of the hardest parts I think 🤔 what to price things at??? I am curious what part of the country you’re in? I feel like where I am in southeast Idaho. There are a lot of crafters and unless the price is right won’t buy an item rather than just go and make one for themselves 😂. Which is fine too! Anyway. Thank you so much for sharing can’t wait to hear how you did at your shows ❤
I'm so glad you are here 😃 Videos like these were so helpful for me when I first started making crafts and doing craft fairs, that's one reason I started this YT channel so I could help others. I will say that I'm very frugal when buying supplies so that helps keep my cost down. When I'm pricing my items I take the cost per item and multiply by 4 and that's what I typucally charge. Unless it's a hand painted item or one that takes longer to make, then I markup 5 or 6 times. Anyways, I'm in Kentucky and the majority of shoppers love handmade items and understand the pricing but there are always people who want yard sale prices, that's just how it goes. I love hearing from viewers so thank you for taking the time to share with me 😊💗
Prices depend on the city and state that you are in. South Florida’s prices have to be much cheaper to sell. Thank you for sharing
That is very true. Thanks for watching 😊
Your paintings are gorgeous ❤
Aw thank you, so much 😊💗
Hi! Just happened upon your channel and loved all of your items! Definitely subscribed! Loved the Christmas Planners! Do you have an online sales spot? Where did you get the plastic sleeves you put your journals in? Wishing you much success at your craft fairs!
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you're here. I do have an online store but it is not up to date with all of my items. If you saw something on this video that you would like to purchase you can email me at shanda.simplecreations @ yahoo and I'd be happy to add whatever you want to my shop for purchase. For the clear journal jackets, I will give you the link to my video that has all the information in the description for them, plus the video shows you how to use them 😊💗

Where did you get the plastic "dust jackets " that are on your journals? Did you make them or purchase them?
Hi... here's a link to the video where I show how I protect my Journals at craft fairs th-cam.com/video/mGrAEhWgTOs/w-d-xo.htmlsi=5bnBv6GpXU7RWGsn
The size I use is
10 1/4" x 19" and I get them on clearbags.com here's the Item # BC101Q 😊
This is perfect. Thank you so much!!!@SimpleCreationsByShanda
@@jenniferparnell9311 you are so welcome!
Do you have a tutorial for the gift card holders? I absolutely love them.
@wynneannespano8972 Thank you! I have all the tutorial links in the description. Here's a link to the gift card holders th-cam.com/video/qbnX6CKHOxo/w-d-xo.htmlsi=h0-b621Cq7Mf8dRS 😊
Great video. Thx for the ideas…and the pricing that goes with them.
You are so welcome! Thanks for watching 😊
Do you have a video for the paper clips? I love your items!!
Thank you 😊 I'm sorry I don't have a tutorial for the paper clips, but I will consider making one!
@@SimpleCreationsByShandaI love the jumbo paper clips! where did you get the stickers for the paper clips?
@sokatzlyfe Thank you! I got the Sloth and dessert stickers from Dollar Tree and the sunflowers are not stickers, just cardstock prints and I think those came from Hobby lobby.
How did you do at your craft fair. How much do you want for the Dotson notebook if you still have it.
Hi Beverly.... I did horrible at the Fall Festival, people did not buy like they did last year. My biggest craft fair is November 2nd & 3rd, I'm hoping it'll be as successful as last year. If you're talking about the Journal with the dogs on it... it's $7 and I'll have to figure up shipping cost. Just let me know 💗
Where do you get your composition books cut in half?
The first time I found them e at Walmart during back to school but I never saw them again and then ordered them from Amazon amzn.to/40xh06H
Do you have a tutorial for the cocoa in the glass mug?
Hi... I'm sorry I don't have a tutorial for the hot cocoa "fake bake" but I will consider making one 😊
Where do you get your stencils and what kind of paint do you use.
Hi... I got my stencils from Amazon here's a link amzn.to/4hizYE8 . Also, I use Waverly chalk paints that I buy at Walmart
Where did you get the music sheets for your framed Christmas trees?

Hi, I am new here but I love what I’ve seen so far only about halfway through your video I would like to ask did you make the recipe cards all the different ones or did you purchase them somewhere and where did you get the little folder that you have them in?
Thank you! I'm so glad you're here. I make the decorative pieces of paper but I buy the actual recipe cards, here's a link to that video where I give all that information, you can find links in the description too th-cam.com/video/UDp-KR1kYpc/w-d-xo.htmlsi=klZ6p-5At9WWACY0
I buy the holders at Dollar Tree, it's actually a photo album, all that information is in the video 😊
I have journals also this year for my upcoming craft fair in November - Where did you get the clear covers that yours are in? You have wonderful items - I hope you have great success!
Thank you so much Tammy! I get the clear sleeves for my Journals on clearbags.com item#BC101Q the size is 10 1/4" x 19". Here's a video showing how to put them on if you want to watch th-cam.com/video/mGrAEhWgTOs/w-d-xo.htmlsi=oTUIZB8Y-1SzEF8- I hope you do well at your craft fair 😊💗
@@SimpleCreationsByShanda Hi! Thank you for the information - And Thank you for the well wishes for my fair!
You are welcome 😊
Your creations are wonderful! New Subbie! Love your pricing!
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you're here 😊💗
I would take all the gift card holders. Some people like to buy them ahead so they have them for the rest of the year. And also people have birthdays in December and after that.
That is a great idea! Thank you for the suggestion 😃
Your Tic Tac Toe games are adorable!!! You have been very busy! Nice Job and Good luck to you!!
Thank you so much 😊💗
Do you have a tutorial on the gift card holder?
Yes, all of the tutorials are linked in the description section of this video. Here's the link to the gift card holder th-cam.com/video/qbnX6CKHOxo/w-d-xo.htmlsi=hQTtjB-5vO5FhA9o 😊
❤❤❤
Lovely items! I really loved the tic tac toe,so cute! You didn''t say how much you sell them for. Can you tell your viewers?
Oops I forgot the pricing on that one!! Last year I sold them for $12 and sold all but one set. This year I'm charging $15 because they take so much time to make. Thank you 😊
Nice ideas and art items. How much did you price the tic tac toe ones for ? Thanks.
Thank you 😊 I forgot to say how much I'm charging for the Rock-tac-toe... last year I sold them for $12 but this year I'm charging $15.
You’re welcome.. That Sounds good. Thanks for your prompt reply. . I’ll be trying my hand for first time at my local craft fair. Just doing some ornaments and rock and bottle art to start with. May be some greeting cards if time permits. 😊
@AnjaliMallya I hope you do well at your craft fair, and most importantly have fun!
Thank you so much 🥰
💜💜💜
I would sell the single blocks for $8.00-10 & the larger one for $15.00-20.00
f you're suggestion is for the snowmen, I like your prices. I think I priced them too low especially for the amount of work I have in them. I did raise the price a little bit and ended up pricing at $6/$10/$12.
How much do the rock tac toe sets sell for?
I sold them last year for $12 but I'm selling them for $15 this year 😊
These are all great.. totally inspiring… new Subbie here
Thank you 😊 I'm so glad you are inspired! I love hearing that and glad you're here 💗
You did so amazing on the hand painted ornaments! I would buy all of them if I was at the craft fair. $12 each is a bargain. So many great ideas here!
Thank you so much 😊💗
Oh my goodness! Everything is gorgeous. The pricing is not bad in today's economic turmoil.
Thank you so much Judy 😊 💗
How do you charge $35 for yours but could t justify purchasing the one for $22? Please explain
If I purchased a prebuilt one online for $22 (which comes unfinished) and sold it for $35 I would make less profit than my husband making me one which only cost about $5 to make. Either way I would have to finish it, whether I bought it premade or built one myself. I hope that makes sense 😊
@ ok lol. I get it.
I noticed how rude my comment may have been and I am truly sorry about that, thank you for answering the question for me in such a nice manner. Your ideas and crafts are beautiful by the way!
I appreciate you taking the time to come back and apologize. I realize I'm not the best at explaining things sometimes in my videos so I understand when viewers have questions. I'm glad you asked. Thank you for the sweet compliment and thanks for watching 💗
Those gift card holders would of course sell at such a low price. I couldn’t sell them for $2. Underpriced some in my opinion.
What would you sell them for? I do have to consider the price of all my items, for example if I sold gift card holders for $4 then I would have to raise the price on things like my tea samplers, which I sell for $4.... nobody is going to pay more than that for tea samplers. Some items I have a big profit margin on amd some I don't, but one thing is true I always make a profit on everything I sell. I calculate what I have in it and mark it up 3 to 5 times. Also, the low priced items bring people to my table and they typically buy more things. I do appreciate your feedback, I'm interested to see what you think I should charge 😊
