A weekend “off”
Well no show this weekend which is good because we have a run of 6 shows after this. Bit of a scarey though that my next weekend at home will be on 16th December!!! Looks like I will be doing my Christmas shopping at the fairs again ![]()
Have just been over to the Alan and Barry website (http://www.alanandbarryscrafts.com). Now I admit I don’t always find them funny, in fact I find them funnier in real life than I ever have on any of their shows or videos… however I have have just watched their latest intro video and found myself rolling around laughing… not at Alan but at Barry who managed to keep a serious look on his face even when “dancing”… think I’ll have to keep that video for future use
Interesting quote for card makers from the forum on Craftville.com

There are obviously far too many people trying to sell handmade hards and not a lot of people trying to buy them
I feel really sorry for card makers who have paid to have websites built because they though they could sell cards this way… obviously building your own site and selling a few cards for fun is possible but I think you would have to have some very unique cards in order to make a living out of it. Goes to show that selling locally is prob the best way to go!
