Homemade

As many of you know, I scrapbook quite a lot - I love being creative with my pictures, and being able to relive memories and moments as I put them together in a book. 

Recently I've started to branch out into greeting cards.  It is something that I've done a little bit of using up scrapbooking scraps over the years, but never with a whole bunch of seriousness to it.  However a few weeks ago I found out that the base was holding a flea market.  Anyone could sign up to have a table, and you could sell whatever you want.  I thought about it, and realized that I could (possibly) sell these cards.  They would be cheaper than the Hallmark section in the bookstore, and more personal.

I opened a table in the flea market at 8:00 and had a little bit of success.  I made money - but not an awful lot.  However, I met lots of people, and got a few great ideas from many of them.  I plan on tweaking my prices a little, and adjusting how I sell the cards.  (In bunches as well as individually, etc.)  For my first time I was fairly pleased with myself!  The flea market opens once a month, and I'll be there with my revised marketing strategy on August 27th.  I'll let you know if business improves.
