  • I stopped but have just started again i love making my little books

    Good :) Then you've got a good starting point. I'd just aim your marketing towards your local area for a while, you'll be much more successful then online, in my opinion. Once you've got a reputation and enough money for some serious marketing, then tackle online.

    Where abouts do you live?

    (And feel free to tell me to shut up if I'm not helping :o)

    I do a bit of paper crafting, but anything that you want to sell has to really stand out IMO as so many people make their own cards now. One thing that strikes me is you have the humorous cards there, which is nice and a little different, but blooming moonpig seems to have that little area stitched up, and they send it out for you. (Hmmm, wonders if saying I'd send it to an addressee of their choice for cost of postage would be an idea in future.....)

    I did a scrapbook album for a friend a couple of years ago, and she loved it and said I should go into business doing it, but for the cost of materials and my time if I'd charged her for it she wouldn't have had much change out of a monkey and not many people would pay that sort of money.

    not sure if these would help with the shadow box thing. You could buy your own normal frames at a cheap price in a style that suit you and then convert them. They do discounts if you buy 5 or more and have a good range of colours.
    The top picture looks tacky but probably as it wouldn't be my style of frame:p.
    anyway enough dribble heres the link

  • Saucy, just came up with this list http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&source=hp&q=alquiler+pisos+sevilla&meta=&aq=4&oq=alquiler+pis

    If you missed my post yesterday among all the dribble, also try http://sevilla.loquo.com/en_us. I recommend you just look for a flatshare at first, unless you can find a 6 month short-term contract (most flat contracts are longer).

    hi hons, hugs to all, think there must be something in the air or the setting of the moon or summit, not got o/h trouble but just want to burst into tears and walk out of work - sitting worrying bout what i've got to face tomorrow but heyho just have to get on with it!
    anybody heard from MMTWGR?
    on a brighter note have another £13.90 from ebay, cant believe i'm up over £700 now -it seems to have been too easy £700 is a whole load of money for such little effort (well seems little effort now looking back). Away to do my ironing now and quick black bag dance then i think i'll crawl into bed early .

    just remember girls - we could all be as bad as Gail on coronation street if it wasnt for bad luck she'd have none!
