In the beginning...and now!

At first, my cards were pretty archaic. They had scraps pieces of paper, some ribbon and a bought embellishment. I thought they were prety snazzy but I have since decided that they are just okay.

Then I decided to try beading. I thought these cards would be so popular but I think poeple think they are maybe too bulky for mailing so they didn't really sell. (Although I mailed one or two and it worked just fine!)

Then, I tried playing with backgrounds in my photographs. Some were taken on my kitchen counter, some on the carpet, some on the table. Now, I take them outside in natural light which seems to be working a bit better for me.

I have also changed my prices a million times. At first the cards were $3.00 then $1.50 and now they are $1.75 to $2.00. I think these are fair prices based on the time I put in not to mention the supplies I use.

I have also branched out in making mini cards, homemade flowers, stationery and gift tags. These items sell pretty well and they are so much fun to make.
