Although this Greeting Card has been seen before as a Father’s Day Card, I thought I would make one without the Father’s Day Message on the front of the card. So it can be sent to anyone - maybe for a Dog Lover’s Birthday, or a Thank You Card etc., etc,
Have pinned and loved to here.
Congratulations to all those with sales.

Evening everyone - right…I’ve got a heck of a lot to catch up on!

8 sales to report since last time please Natalie @NOfkantsCurios x

Thanks for all the advice - I said no to the wholesale order - I feel relieved that I did!
I do think I should be looking at my pricing structure again Deborah @DeborahJonesJewellery - as it just doesn’t work if I want to sell anywhere that takes a big percentage, it’s only really set up for selling directly online or at fairs.
I would really like to speak to a business mentor as I feel like my business just never moves forward - every year I tell myself I am going to take time out to pursue some different type of ceramics (where my heart really lies) This year, I managed 3 days before I got bogged down with my regular items. I know I should be truly grateful that my business is thriving and I am but I just think some of the way that I’ve constructed it has limited me. I need someone to take a look at it from a distance and not from the eye of the storm…lol!

My listing today is a couple of these:

P.S. I love that clickable big pictures are back or figured out or whatever happened…that makes me so happy (I’m a bit sad aren’t I?) :partying_face:

Yes, that’s how it becomes doesn’t it - I say to Mr DP, sometimes it feels like I’m working in a factory when I’m making big, bulk orders and that the creative process has become purely robotic!
And…500 donkeys…I would love to hear the story behind that!

All done to here, Sarah I agree with the comments on your pricing, I don’t think an increase would do any harm and you can always do it little by little. I’m amazed you can sell your lovely creations as cheaply as you do.

Sorry to hear your sad news @thecardjeanie - best wishes to your husband
Well done the sellers.
About the donkeys; it was tough to go into mass production, but, I thought, an interesting challenge. I had submitted a sample and that had been accepted; we agreed about submitting in batches over a period. I submitted the first batch, some white ones, grey ones, black, cream, tinge of brown. If my kids were looking for a souvenir then they would want one like the one they had fallen for in the fields. They were pleased with the batch but had expected that the donkeys would be the same as the sample. The rest of the order was :grinning:
A new listing today - a round pendant

Sarah - I must be sad too - I loved the fact the clickable big pictures were back, but it took me a while, and several questions until I had mastered how to do it again… You did have a little tutorial about it somewhere once!!!

Caught up to here.
So sorry to here about your husband @thecardjeanie. Very best wishes to you both.
Congratulations to all with sales.
Love the frog @Marjansart; beautiful card @thegreetingscardshop, lovely blanket @erkinwald. Adore your latest bag @PocketfulCreations.
It’s too late in the day for me to list or relist anything today. I have been doing arty things, mostly sketching a few bits other than landscapes to bulk out my portfolio to support my uni application. (I’m trying not to look like a one trick pony!). I’ve quite enjoyed it. Art for art sake is actually very pleasurable without the worry of whether anyone will want to buy it or not.
Back tomorrow with a listing. Have a pleasant evening folks.

Oh I’m sorry to hear about your husband Jeanie @thecardjeanie - best wishes to you both - hope he makes a speedy recovery!

I have just listed another pair of Japanese washi paper earrings, this time some heart shaped ones featuring hydrangea pattern!

I applied for Pedddle, but I got an email from nikki, the founder saying that I was not successful, as my instagram was a bit confusing and not ā€˜on brand’! Oh well, I’m still getting to grips with it really!

Cheers, Amanda

All caught up to here.
As I haven’t given my shop much attention in the last few weeks I thought I would give it a boost by offering 30% off all items in my shop until Sunday. If you see anything you fancy - the code is BBV30.

Good evening. I’m a bit late tonight. Had a busy day but still don’t know where the time went. I received a delivery of some supplies that I had ordered to have a go at something different. It was like Christmas opening all 6 packages, and then I just had to have a go and make my first pin cushions…well you have to don’t you.

Congrats to everyone who has had sales today.

Jeannie @thecardjeanie hugs for you and your husband :two_hearts: :two_hearts: :two_hearts:

My listing today is, of course, one of my new pin cushions. Hope you like it.

All pinned and loved to here.

Had a really busy day trying to get a bit more of the house sorted out - getting there slowly but no time left for me! Just managed to catch up on the thread but want to watch the Salisbury poisoning (as it happened on my doorstep!) so no time to post anything - got nothing new anyway!
