Whizz
Couldn't think what I'd sent you for a moment
The little santa is a stamp. I bought it last year, just had a look at it and it reads "30122 Father Xmas" I'm sorry can't remember where I got it or there's no name to say who's make it is. I just stamped, embossed and cut them out. I've put them on tags with some other christmassy things. I did them in gold & silver, he is quite cute isn't he.
Anyway glad you got the parcel.
He! He! Let me know if you want the teeth

They look really cute. I did look at embossing things in lakeland at the weekend - but said NO

I'm currently checking out Ebay for jewellery stuff. Everyone at work seems to like my jewellery cards but no one has bought one yet !
Sold 2 'normal' cards to friends today + have 2 more to make.

I think you need to get them to a craft fair they'll go like abomb there.
They'll make great christmas presents.
I took in to work today 13 different designed christmas cards I'm lucky because there's about 100 people in the office block and the girl on reception loves showing them of.
Anyway she said people don't want to think about christmas yet but as soon as she told them that because they take so long for me to make and they wouldn't get them until the begining of December, she suddenly filled up 2 pages in my order book and thats in one day.
I ended up making what seemed like hundreds last year every night and weekend was spent making them, I didn't want to get caught out this year.
So ask people if they'd like them for christmas presents and explain they take a ages to think up designs and make.

Funnily enough our receptionist is my chief marketing person!
I thought of making up say a 'pack' of 10 designs & trying to find an outlet for them locally or I might try a car boot sale if I can find one in a 'nice' location.

[Carolinett]

I put the cards in cello bags with no envelopes stuck a label with a number on the cello bag, made a excel spreadsheet form with headers
Name Ext No card No Quantity Personalised

for people to fill out.
The girl on reception likes the order book but when she's not there people can just fill out the form.
(onest lot in our place gov)

[Carolinett]

Or better still put them in a ringbind folder with a christmassy picture on the front to catch peoples eye It's just that I've got this clear plastic handbag I put mine in

[Carolinett]

I think I missed my vocation I should be in marketing

[Whizzz]

I still feel cheeky though asking for money from friends not too bad if someone else does it on your behalf! I'd make a useless business person
Right, off to try out a few !
