we did not ride any rides BUT we did have some fair food. 1st stop---here for a ginormous turkey leg. i find fair food extremely over-priced.... $9.75 for the turkey leg. but can't complain....it was yummy and fed the 4 of us! we also had some funnel cake before we left. delish!
little brybry ended up hogging the turkey leg that was as big as his head!
i remember my dad taking me on a slide similar to this one at our state fair YEARS ago. look at all the yummy colors! fun!
we stumbled across a literacy for children booth while at the fair. this nice girl read them a story and told the boys after she finished the story, they could then pick out a book to take home. there were new & used books and of course, the boys BOTH picked old, used books! maybe they take after their mama who likes old vintage stuff!
here is a card from a set i recently made. i don't have a lot of play moolah so making

here is a card from a set i recently made. i don't have a lot of play moolah so makingmy embellishments are a must sometimes. theses flowers ones were easy peasy. self explanatory....for you non-crafters, LMK if you want me to send you instructions. they were made from a vintage music sheet book.
here is the set of 4 cards i made. just changed up the color in the center of the flower.
speaking of vintage, can anyone help me out with finding an old (vintage) flower frog? i have been looking for over a year now at places like thrift shops and the goodwill. no luck. we don't have too many garage sales in my area either. i am looking for a tarnished green one or a silver one....not too big. something under $10. i would pay you for shipping too. thanks!

Thanks for sharing these fun photos from the OC fair... I had the "massive" turkey leg in Disney World before. (the cost was like $5!) Anyhow I love your Write your own stmped Card! So beautiful with your own paper flowers!
Thankfully, Fair Food (and what unhealthy fare it is!) is only a once-a-year thing, so I don't mind indulging in the Australian Battered Potatoes smothered in "cheese" sauce!!
Handcrafts sure are a disappointment this year, aren't they? Guess I'll have to enter something next year.
Thanks for sharing your adventures at the fair...the pic of Bryan with the massive turkey leg is priceless!
I love this wonderful set of cards and your pretty flower embellies. You reminded me how fun and perfect the homemade ones can be!
bless you!
I LOVE going to open fairs...we've never been to the actual O.C. fair though, hopefully if they bring it back next year! No rides? Oh, C would have killed me if no rides..hehe! Yes, the food is pricey! Beautiful set of cards, always love to see your handmade roses, so pretty!
