Where Crabby Turns Into Happy! 

Update on our status!

Well we have been really busy lately!  We are getting ready for Pride Fest 2010 in Chicago!  We just found out today that we will be in booth 39!  We are going to be located near the intersection of Halstead and Waveland - so if you are in the area stop by and say HI!  So far we have all of the front and back covers completed (500 front and 500 back covers) and have 300 books that are bound.  200 to go.  We hope our arms hold out!   We are putting the books together using our Zutter Bind it All... so the running joke is that we are going to look like lopsided Popeyes!  We are also make 10 wedding albums and a variety of other product...  Well back to work!  We'll update everyone soon!

Turning Crabby Into Happy all over the place! UPDATE

Just an update on what Crabby Cakes is currently working on:

• 6 corporate order for 6 baby albums. The company had such great response from its orignal order, they placed another order from us for 2 boy, 2 girl, 2 baby neutral albums!

• 1 custom presentation order for a major interior homes company!

• Our first SVG collection for our Etsy store called "Girls Night Out" (hoping to launch SVG collection by the end of May!)

• Another SVG collection called "The Wild West"

• 160 custom "Save The Date" for a community block party event. They are so cute! Bobbi is creating save the date hangers using the Doodlebug Cricut cart. and making watermelons for the summer block party event!

• We are super excited to be selected and juried into the Pride Fest 2010! This will be the largest event that Crabby Cakes Studio has ever been part of! Our main focus is creating and selling our mini Pride albums. Since the event is less than month away, you can only imagine our feverish pase we are working at! Thank goodness for family and friends' help! We simply have a great team of support behind us! Christine and I are working on creating over 500 albums for this event! We are also working on signage, set up and all the other good things that go along with such a big event!
