Crafty About Town

This weekend offered two fun crafty events in downtown Phoenix. I was at both demoing the YUDU. The first was the Coffee, Cookie, Crafts event at Braggs Pie Factory. Many vendors were selling their wares, kooky pinatas were hanging from the ceiling, there were cookies from Urban Cookies and demos from crafty types.  The second event was the Swap-O-Rama at Trunk Space. Folks came out to this one with their used clothes in hand ready to re-work them. Then we screen printed on the new garment. I made an apron out of a tee shirt and my buddy Sarah made a fun Princess dress for the short one, who came along for the day. Check out the tee-shirt apron how to over on Lovely Lula. After the Swap sewing and screening we went next door to Sweets and Beats for a candy treat – yum! We had a really good time! Yea Phoenix for getting Crafty!

The Secret For Sale – Thrift Style

So I am wandering through a local thrift store the other day and see a giant wall of black boxes curious,  I move in to investigate. I discovered these boxes were for Life Success Science of Getting Rich “Image Treasure Chest”.  I chuckled a little at first and thought hmmm . . . . . someone didn’t ask the Universe hard enough for success because they put their life savings into making these boxes, no one bought them and now they are all stacked up in a Scottsdale thrift store.  Then I thought – is it a savvy marketing plan? People will buy these boxes for $3.99 and then go home and look up the company online.  I didn’t buy a box but I did look up the company and I found a blog website with a “SHOP” section featuring:

LifeSuccess Products are COMING SOON! We hope that you will enjoy our selection of thoughtful gifts and items to help you remember the simple but universal message of lifesuccess.com We are all in this world together. Make the best of every day! Please consider becoming a supporter of the LifeSuccess cause. Your generosity will allow us to expand our products and services to better serve everyone. Followed by a PayPal button.

Uhm . . . Maybe not such a good company to invest in.

On another note I sort of feel like I am going to get in trouble somehow just for mocking this company. I’ve waited a few days to post this for fear of the “Universe” sticking it to me. It is kind of sad funny though!
