In other news...

I did it...I signed up for my first craft fair. It is sponsored through work and I think it's just the right size to start off with. It's March 25th, so I don't have much time to get a stash established. I really debated this one because of the timing and the holiday's people would be interested in, but I decided to take the plunge. I've come up with a few categories that I would like to concentrate on this time out:

  • Birthdays
  • Anniversaries
  • Thank yous
  • Congratulations - wedding, baby, misc.
  • Sympathies
  • Mother's Day
  • Father's Day
Two of my closest friends (who happen to be male coworkers) and I were discussing ideas over lunch and since my work is dominated my men, they really liked my idea of a package of cards with a selection for the year....sort of a emergency card kit if you will.

I have these grand plans that will I will expand to invitations and scrapbooking kits, along with Christmas and Holiday cards, but I'm trying to stay grounded and not get overwhelmed. Hopefully you'll see a lot of cards being posted because that will mean progress is being made.

Let me know if you think of any additional ideas that I can concentrate on now.

Yay! How exciting! I hope to do a few more craft shows or so this year. Good luck, take lots of photos! I like the idea of marketing to men too!
