Gifts and more By Main Stream Treasures

I have been making crafts my entire life and have showcased my crafts for more than 25 years at local craft shows. Just recently during the Covid-19 Pandemic I had some time to start sewing again and I have created these little puff pillows. They are Hearts of Love to spread joy and happiness everywhere.

I make them for different holidays and they look great on your tiered tray or scatter them around your home. They are the perfect gift for family, friends, co-workers, healthcare workers, teachers and they are the perfect size.

Realtors- these make great gifts for your new homeowners and a special gift from the heart.

I also make special orders so please reach out and let me know what you are looking for.

10 Questions to ask a DJ

I found this great article sharing these 10 questions to ask a DJ.  Read the full article here.  

1. Is this your full-time business? Are weddings/events your primary focus? What clubs, lounges, and corporate clients have you performed for in addition to weddings?

2. How do you customize the music experience for each couple? Can you help with song lists and providing suggestions?

3. How do you get the crowd pumped?

4. How do you handle song requests?

5. Can I hear some examples of mixing and blending different tracks?

6. What sound equipment do you utilize? Do you have back-up equipment?

7. Have you played at our chosen wedding venue before? If not, can you make a site visit beforehand?

8. Do we have our choice of DJs to select from, or is one automatically assigned to us depending on date availability? What happens in case of an emergency?

9. What other services do you offer (e.g. lighting, HD video screens)?

10. Why should I choose you as my wedding DJ?
