Yesterdays CNA-Q Fair was a huge success for us.  We were so busy all day meeting with and talking to so many wonderful and very fun people.  I honestly dont think I stopped talking for one minute all day, and my friend Hira who took me home afterward will attest to that fact as I am sure he kept offering to stop somewhere to pick up some dinner just so he could have some respite from my gabbling.

So many great things happened yesterday I do not know where to begin.  So first up, Cammy is a legend and with me being so busy trying to get ready for all these xmas fairs, Cammy has started helping me to package items, come up with design ideas, cut paper, etc.  I would never have been able to get out so many new craft kits this month if it were not for her.  Cammy as usual did her most amazing best and worked like a trojan all day to help people and make sure they too had a great time at Pink Peppers table.  Big thanks to Cammy as always.  xxxx

Gabi came by and spent alot of time with us showing off her lil Benji Bubba who is the cutest little thing you ever did see, except maybe when he cried but thankfully he didn't do too much of that.

We had so much positive feedback and compliments to our kids craft kits it was such a big boost and has inspired me to put together even more new ones before next week.  In fact we sold about 50 kits yesterday which was a fabulous result and shows just how much people love the fact they can buy well priced and entertaining items for their kids.  It was marvellous that so many people came up and said oooh we bought this kit last time and my kids loved it, what else have you got.  So I know for sure we are getting repeat customers to our kit creations.  The other great thing is that I had put on sale some of the kits I wish to discontinue, and when I worked it out this morning about 20 of them sold.  What I think is so great though, is that means that around 30 of the remaining kit sales were predominately all my newest kit designs combined with the all time favorites like the bling your own notebook, and the fairy wand kits.  This is so great because it shows people like my whacky ideas.  Yaaaa, go team Pink Pepper.

We had many vendors, the organisers and even customers saying how wonderful our display was and many thought it was the best display at the fair.  What an ego boost that was.  I truly think my fellow vendors Dom, Vida and Gab's suggestions and advice is finally paying off and I am actually learning a thing or two about how to present products.  Yaaaay, go team QatART.

I got to tell so many zombie doll stories in order to explain the zombie side of our products which was so much fun trying to come up with a different story for every customer who was interested.  I told so many stories I am now not sure what even the original story was, and will have to go look at the Zombie Page to refresh my memory.  So much fun.

We have some photos to put up from the last few fairs and will get around to doing that when we have some time, but for now, we have some bunting to make and some clay numbering and decorations to do, so I best get off this computer and start working again.  12 hours of sleep last night it took to refresh my batteries :)
Till next time,
Toodleooo

We had a wonderful AWA International Holiday Bazaar today.  Thanks to all the lovely people who stopped by to say hi and offer their encouragement and support and a big thanks to all who purchased from us.  We hope that you are happy with and enjoy your products as much as we have enjoyed making them for you.
We will put some photos up as they come rolling through our facebook page, so you can check out how it went. 

And to all those we mentioned to check out our website, and the craft fairs page within it, we hope that you now understand why we wanted you to take a look and we hope that you will come say hello again at any of the fairs comming up.

For now it has been a huge day and it's off to hit the hay for me.
Goodnight everyone and thanks to the organisers, vendors and customers who made this such a marvellous day.
Also a massive thankyou to Cammy, who helps me at every fair, always with a smile and a wicked sense of humour.  I could not do any of this without the help of this remarkable woman.
 
Well it is utter chaos here at Pink Pepper Qatar at the moment with Saturdays fair approaching at a rapid rate.  We are still trying to finish up all we wanted to achieve, and some more, and as a result we are neglecting this poor old website for a short time.
Still we are super pleased with our efforts so far and if I have the time before Saturday I will put up some photos as a sneak peek.
So wish us luck and if you are in Doha, swing by and say hello at the International Bazaar at the Grand Hyatt this Saturday 17th November 2012.  I think it's QR20 for
