Well after having a very successful craft sale, I've slowed down on the painting. Although I do need to get started again and I also need to get a couple parcels put in the mail.

We are also beginning to look at other areas in which we can sell our crafts. Beginning in January, we will be working at setting up a website and we also want to look at tourist camps further north from where we live.

Hows it going for you this week?

I haven't made cards for ages, although I still have outstanding orders!

But I've been madly listing on eBay as I needed some quick cash and I wanted to start de-cluttering as well.

I've done really well, I made over £233 in the first week! But now it's slowed a bit as I somehow forgot I'd have to e-mail everybody and pack, weigh, post etc. !!!! I'm REALLY busy

It has been slow this week, so orders to fill at all. But that's ok, I have been working on getting ready for DS's 4th Birthday this comming Sunday.

I have to order more supplies and get some mailers ready to send out.

My week is pretty good. I just filled an order for 18 tins, 4 scrubs, and a dozen tealights. That was one order! Plus I just did 2 for ladies from here. I mailed out my fundraiser samples and forms today to a school in northern CA. They are having 100 kids do a fundraiser with my candles!

Still trying to make a go of ebay. Some days are good and some days aren't. I don't think I will ever understand it - I can sell a bag of broken jewelry and can't sell wonderful vintage necklaces. I will keep plugging away at it. Also, a new consignment store for crafts has just opened here and I hope one day to actually make something that I can place there.

I have only two parties schedualed but I should get some booking off of them but I am thinking of having an open house, but we are also trying to sell our house so I might have it at someoneelses house so that is still in the planning stage.
