Hello! I forgot an N!

So, my computer was down for a week....

AND I printed my e-mail in the last post, incorrectly.

THANK YOU for your patience, everyone!!!!  My correct E-mail is meredithlynnjackson@yahoo.com.  That's LynN.  Silly, silly, me.

Life has been nutty for me.  I landed a long-term substitute teaching gig that ends on October 21.  I am trying to be vigilant in keeping up with things, so if there is a day's wait in between correspondence, please understand that I am working full-time for funds to support my career.  I am blessed with an understanding group of fourth graders and team teacher, and they are aware that between grading papers and mapping out language arts and grading papers for the week, I am planning a big craft show.

The Website is HERE!

This is the website for The Etsy Team of the Coachella Valley's FIRST show EVER!  We are all VERY excited about this event, and we want a huge turnout.
My name is Meredith L. Jackson, and I am the Team Captain.  I am the owner/designer of The Drama Queen Collection.  I design jewelry and accessories, however, I also long-term substitute teach, tutor, and babysit.  I have a frantic lifestyle, but knowing the amazing people I encounter on a daily basis, whether it is selling my jewelry or explaining U.S. History, wouldn't make me change it for the world.  

The 2011 Beat the Rush show is coming quickly, and we have openings for MORE vendors!!!  Spaces are still available for handmade and/or vintage items.  For an application, please, PLEASE e-mail me at meredithlynnjackson@yahoo.com, and one will be sent.

Coming soon will be a copy of the floorplan with pictures of available spaces.

Advertising will be done with posters, fliers, a Facebook event, and a viral video along with planned newspaper, radio, and television exposure.  The Hilton Garden Inn is also helping us with advertising.  Hooray!!!!!!
