Another weekend over
Well thats another week and weekend over. I had a craft fair yesterday and was well chuffed at how it went. I sold loads and now have to start getting my stocks up again. I started the day with not enough room on my table but as the day wore on I was able to take more and more out my baskets so they could be seen better. My next one is not till the start of september but I guess that will come round fast. I suppose I'll need to make a start on christmas soon. What a thought. Right bed time for me. I hope every one is well. Happy crafting xx

me again
hey two days running can't be bad. I should be making cards but right now I cannot get my head in to gear so will just it still lol I did make a card or two yesterday and am going to put on pics to let you see. I got the kit and the sheet from Craftsuprint which at the minute is my favourite place to go.
I wanted to ask you clever ladies how you decide how much to charge for your cards. I have been going from £1.50 to £2 but my mate says thats too cheap. I just dont think people will pay much more. Any ideas ot tips you can give me??

At last I've found a way in again
Well finally I've made it back. I must be about the worst blogger around. I have been so busy lately between card making and working and the like. I was meant to have this afternoon to myself but the lass that was meant to be modelling for hubby was in a car crash and is on the road to hospital. Hopefully she's ok but I guess we will hear later.
I have now done two craft fairs and next week I do my third one. I am finding as I do them that there are a lot of things I don;t cover but I'm gradually getting there and making them. I have now become a great friend of Craftsuprint these days. They have some fantastic stuff there. I am also trying to get ideas together to make wedding invitaions. I've done two weddings before but the brides knew what they wanted and I worked round that. Well I guess I better go try get something done. Hopefully I will get back soon. I hope you are all well and not getting too wet xx

Back again at last
Hi there, I'm going to try this again. I had major problems getting rid of my last attempt. Here's hoping I get it right this time.
I must try harder to be a better blogger. I was so busy with getting stuff ready for my first ever craft sales table. It went quite well and I even sold a few cards, got orders for a couple more. I've been asked told I'll get the chance of their next one. If I can book the time off I hope to do another at the start of June. I am hoping I'm not selling either too dear or too cheap. My new thing now is to put an insert in them as I go and label etc. should make for less stress. I also now know that I need to make more male cards and some more childrens ones too.
Last weekend I was at an Amy Shaw demo day and then next day I was at a workshop with her which were both fantastic. I did manage to spend loads but also not over spend. I have loads of new ideas now though.
I have since my last post I have found out how to watermark or at least put my name on my pics. It seems now I just need to find out how to resize and all that jazz. I'll get there.
Have a nice night. I do hope you are all safe and not too wet. Hugs xxx
