Whistle while you work

I've been working on making lots of cards to sell at the East Middle School Craft Fair next month. I need to have a much bigger inventory to sell; but I'm getting there, slowly but surely.

I've been working on packs of cards instead of individual cards. I've made several 8-packs of Christmas-y cards. I think those will probably sell well, as the craft fair is in mid-November and people will be looking for Christmas cards. At least I'm hoping to sell stuff. I've got a long way to go before I'll feel that I have enough of an inventory, but it's fun to keep coming up with card ideas.

I'm tying the packs of cards with tan raffia instead of putting them in a plastic bag or container. It was my mom's idea. I think it looks really cute. I'll probably make little price tags and punch a hole in them and slide them onto the raffia and retie the bows. Haven't quite figured that out yet, but I've got some time.

I haven't taken any photos of the cards I'm making to sell. I probably should do that. I'll do it when I put price tags on them. Then I'll post some of the photos on here so you all can see what I've been making.

Stay tuned!
