Greazefest 2012

GREAZEFEST 2012 - ROCKLEA SHOWGROUND, BRISBANE

 It was the best and busiest day of my life! It took months of preperation but it was all worth it in the end. We arrived at the showgrounds just before 7am to find it already bustling with excitement as people set up their stalls.

I didnt get a chance to get photos of my stall as it was go go go from the minute Mr Crypt and I got there. I'm very happy that I had done a trial set up in my own backyard because it definitely helped me get everything out and ready quickly. The only difficult part was when the hot rods started rolling in, I kept stopping my set up to have a look!

The public were allowed entry at 9am and you could feel a definite buzz in the air as people were waiting outside. Once they came in, people were buying Crypt Creations goodies from the get-go! I'm very lucky that I had Mr Crypt, my mum and some sisters along to help me out!

 I was so overwhelmed with the kind comments from people who bought goodies from me. The most frequest comment was how affordable my items were. Being affordable is something I have always strived for with my little business, so I was incredibly happy to hear that. :) I got so many nice comments that my cheeks actually hurt from smiling I was absolutely buzzing!

By the time 5pm rolled around Mr Crypt and I were exhausted and nearly asleep. we packed up as the sun set and got one final photo for the day by a photographer whose mother asked me and Mr Crypt to kiss for the photo. This is a very easy thing for me to do!! 

He was the best helper I could have asked for on the day. And he put up with me for the months leading up to GF constantly asking him if things looked pretty and which colour combinations looked best!

Lori Lee, the organiser of GF is truly a woman to be congratulated. Everything ran so smoothly and perfectly and given the massive amounts of people and cars that were there, that as no easy task!

When we were home, it as a matter of shower, eat, sleep. And boy oh boy did we sleep, but I slept happy. 

Can't wait for next year!
