also there is the postage issue, everyone is paying through paypal so what i shall do is pay the postage using my own cash but once i get the payouts from paypal i shall pay myself back :rotfl:

PaP, u can purchase postage labels thru Paypal, as long as u know the weight/size.... there is also an option to 'hide' the value of the postage, and it prints 'proof of posting' certificates that u get stamped at the PO before u send them.
That way, whatever u have left in Paypal is profit (except for costs of materials)

Thanks sarah, i did think of that however i have no sticky labels and i dont want them coming off in transit and my customers having to pay double postage. Also all of them are sent recorded so i will still need to get them all checked at the postoffice so it will not really cut my time anyways. Thanks for the thought though.

raph, i am doing christmas cards slowly... is there anything in particular you would like featured?

Ooh ya can't go wrong with a christmas pud or two!

£3 sounds good per card, they are hand made after all. I've seen some hand made cards in the shops for £5+

How about making packs of 5 cards? Either all the same or each one slightly different but with the same colours/theme. If I'm buying Xmas cards I tend to buy them by the pack, and 5 nice handmade cards would definitely attract my attention. The postage wouldn't be much more than for a single card either, so it would save people a bit of money! (wooo, I've got my dfw head on today!)
