I bought some hand made cards from a mumsnetter and they are FABULOUS!

I get through a lot of cards, and on a whim contacted someone on here to see if they would be interested in making some cards for me. I chose the cards I wanted from a selection on the website.

I've just received them today and they are beautiful, very carefully made, and fantastic value compared to highstreet shop prices.

I won't mention names, so as not to be accused of advertising. But if you are thinking of buying some cards, why not consider doing what I did?

Is it not possible for regular memebers to be allowed to advertise stuff like this? It's a shame really if not.

Please CAT me too, AuntyQuated. I get through a lot of cards and despair at the rubbish in the shops being sold at extortionate prices.

i did try emailing MN, about 3 weeks ago about it, as im sure all us card makers would do ok out of it, but i got no reply, i would say that the majority of us cardmakers havent started it up as 'business', therefore i dont think the £25 is justified.

I would love to see your website too. I have just started selling cards too - cards to celebrate the major events in a family's life.

That was what I was thinking sunnygreeting. The £25 fee would be way too much to justify it. Could it not be limited to MN members who have subscribed to MN already, and have been a member for xx number of days?

hulababy, yes thats a good idea, even though i wouldnt benefit from it, i only found this site about a month ago, and its taken me all this time pluck up courage and 'join in'

But you could benefit from it in a relative short period of time - and it would encourage you to keep joinng in

Advertising is allowed on here isn't here?! EVERYTHING is allowed on here (within reason) so its seems!

I'd also like to show mine, if there was some waiver or lowering of the fee.

Perhaps we could start a communal shop?
