Card Sale!

I had a very nice meeting with a lady Friday, she has recently bought/set up a stall and was looking for new products to sell.... I took along 2 boxes of my cards, which she looked through and bought in bulk! I was very excited to make a large sale, and it's good to know my work will be available for sale in another outlet/way :-) Hopefully the cards will sell as well for her as they do for me and it will lead to her returning for more stock! She also gave me a few ideas and one is making up cards in a similar theme/range and selling as a packet - rather than individually, so I am busy sorting out sets - ie *Girls card* *Ocassion cards such as 21st, wedding, good luck etc* - I'm very excited and am already busy getting creative :-) These card packs will be availabe at a reduced rate also.

Trivia and Baby Cards

Did you know.... Strawberries are the only fruit whos seeds grown on the outside.

I had a very nice chat yesterday with a lady who contacted me via an ad I have running on Gumtree. To cut a long story short, she contacted me to say that she makes *baby baskets* from donated goods/items to give to mum's in hospital who've recently given birth. She wondered if I would be interested in donating some of my cards to put in her baskets and in return she'd place my business card inside - a little *free advertising*.

She rang me up and we had a nice chat about my cards, how I got started etc and how she got into volunteering these gift baskets. So, I will be mailing a few cards to her, and hopefully I may end up with some extra orders from it later! If anyone else is in a *situation* like this and I can help out with some cards in exchange for a little *free advertsing* I am happy to go ahead.

Looks like I'll be making some baby cards this week!
