It’s been a crazy few months!!!

by Meg Keys on October 19, 2011

Wow- let me tell you! What an amazing last few months... I've been a busy time for sure. Just a few moments for recap:
  • Llaves Designs housed a booth at Maker Faire NYC and assisted almost 600 kids, parents and a few adults without kids who just wanted to make a mess.  It was such a great day that we actually took home a blue ribbon! We were Maker's Choice!

  • Years back I was asked to write a how-to-make-pinatas for BUST Magazine and I guess they put me in their anthology of crafters!!! WOOOHOOO! I haven't seen it yet but am excited to visit them at one of their book tours.
