DAY 9 of My Crowdfunding Campaign

The days are flying by and the #Viking A Frame tent is getting closer! 

I am now at 78% of my target with $705 and still 10 days left.

I found this photo of Runes burnt into the wooden frames of a tent and it's what I'd like to do with the names of those who have contributed. For those who have so far, take a look below to see what your name looks like in Runes.

I give my thanks again for all your continued support and pledges.

DAY 8 of My Crowdfunding Campaign

Today's been a great day; starting to feel like I'm getting organised for the big trip but I've lost my lounge room! It's somewhere under piles of Viking "stuff" getting sorted. I think my dog is under there somewhere too! 

THANK YOU to those who pledged to my campaign today - taking it to $555, which is 61% of the target. Also thanks to those who gave advice. There are so many beautiful people in the world! 

I came across one of my favourite Viking encampment photos while I was looking for one to share and I just have to share this with you. I've actually got this picture up on my wall in my leatherwork room and look at it every day - dreaming of one day going to Norway and staying at#Gudvangen Viking Village. How spectacular does it look? 

DAY 7 of My Crowdfunding Campaign

I took a break yesterday from the craziness of this campaign and went back to doing what I really love - leatherwork. :)

A new piece of leather arrived in the morning from my favourite shop - Packer Direct Leather Shop - and I couldn't wait to get my hands on it.

Anyway, the crowdfunding also took a break yesterday; a pause, with no pledges made but that's ok. I'm as determined as ever to have the best possible encampment for my stall and I believe that dreams come true!

I'm grateful for where I am now - already living one of my dreams, having my own business and I know that what we focus on is what we get.

Of course this campaign is about raising funds and you have already pledged $495 - 55% of my target ($900) but you all have given me so much more than that. Liking my page, commenting on my work, giving me inspiration and becoming my friends - it means the world to me and for that, I THANK YOU!

Please do come and say hello to me if you see me at any events. I would love to talk to you in person and give you a hug! (Hmm, not the best photo of me but still, you get the idea!

DAY 6 of My Crowdfunding Campaign

WOOHOO! I'm over half way (55% of my target) in my #crowdfunding campaign and there are 14 days left ... and only 18 days until I go to Armidale!!! Will you be able to come and visit me at my new tent? Oooh, I REALLY hope so! 

Tonight my 14 year old son gave me a quick lesson in iMovie so I've just launched "Take 2" of my video onto YouTube. I think it's better - I've added more photos and the last page is there!  The blurriness of the words on some of the pages .... didn't quite get there but I'm not going to do Take 3.  I'll just improve that part in my next video - maybe my thank you one, showing you my tent! 

Anyway, here's the new one! ... 

    

Video Released on YouTube for Crowdfunding Campaign

Yesterday my day was taken up with doing something completely different - being a Movie Director! :)

I made a "video" and launched it onto YouTube last night.  I'd love you to take a look ...

This was the first time I'd ever done something like this so please accept my apology for the blurriness and the sudden stop of music at the end!  All I can say is that I'd much rather be doing leatherwork! :)

Anyway, I hope you still enjoy it! 

DAY 5 of My Crowdfunding Campaign

Ooh, I didn't give you an update yesterday. Sorry!

So ... DAY 5 of my #crowdfunding campaign:

I launched my "video" for my campaign onto YouTube. It was an all day mission and I'm not 100% happy with the end result but I gave it a go! All I can say is I'd much rather be doing leatherwork.

Again, I connected with some more beautiful people today - I'm loving the "social" side of this and looking forward to catching up with everyone in real life at future events. And the total reached $435 - that's 48% of my target.

Keeping up with the post of tents and inspiration for a great set up, I just came across this one. I love the design on the canvas. Isn't it spectacular?

Once again, I THANK YOU all for your support.
