If you dont sell them,what are you doing with them ? I see you all making them like mad,as I do,but are you stashing them, ?apart from giving family and
friends their Birthdays etc ? I would make more but I dont know how long I will have them sitting there.

I sell just a very few (to family, and the odd friend who asks for a special card to be made), apart from that I have a large family and tend to send cards on
every possible occasion. I also make them for the Produce stall run by our W.I. at various events. One reason I scrapbook is to stop me making too many cards

i have boxes of them made up ready for names etc, i try out new techniques n pop them in my ready box, i usually get asked for quite a few at once n when i
take them into work to ppl that order them it usually leads to more, n if anyone wants a card pronto i win hands down as i can get one to them overnight.
my SD text me yesterday for a 'bratz' card as she knows i did about 12 for her to choose from when her daughter/our grand-daughter was 6 last year, so she will pick it up on sat knowing it's already done so she need not worry. sometimes i have a clear out n dis-assemble some i did quite a while ago, n keep the useful bits. i see it as my hobby so it's not as important to me to sell them quickly. chell x |

Yes I must say I am now making some and putting them in a box,as you say,all of a sudden someone will ask you for one,and it saves rushing,but dont you find
they always ask for the one you just dont have,so far I have been asked for Fishing,very boring that was to make,New Home,I never made one before,Baby cards
for the same New mum,one of each sex,just in case,with a personal name on both,A Theatre Card,for someone who was an actor,so you can never me really ready can
you, but thatts the fun I think,as long as its not too many fishing cards,didnt like that.

i always like to have some cards on the go and it does take me ages to make one. i have about 30 birthday cards to make each year and i have made them all for
next year. NO KIDDING. i am a very organised person. i always like to keep a few cards just in case i have to send a thank you or a get well card very quickly.
i do not sell mine, but if anyone wants a special card i will make it and ask them to put something in a collection box at christmas. i am not good at making just one card at a time. i have to make 3 or 4 together. they are not the same because i usually score them all different. this is why i am well advanced in my card making. been making christmas cards last 6 weeks and i have made 20. they were not simple cards. having a break from christmas cards and started to make that double pop out card we saw on michelle's show on create and craft. that will take me a week to do. love june b |

Wow June you are very organised, you put me to shame lol.
I don't sell my cards but any spare cards go to be sold in aid of the mental health charity where I work. I must admit, I have some that I love too much to part with though, how sad am I? Claire xx |
