I've been making cards for about 8 months now and have now started to sell them. I've had a few people that have put orders in and loved the cards I've done for them. I try to get what people are asking for if not then close to it. But it's a really slow process to build up on. I've been thinking about doing something along side my card making and have come up with book folding art.
I think with my cards and the book folding art they will have everything under one roof so to speak. If they want a card made they can also pick to have a book art as well as a present and have them sent together. It saves them looking elsewhere for a present when they can get it under the same roof. What I like about book folding is its different, its unusual and makes a lovely feature to look at.
I want to make something that people would like to buy and would love the look of it. I need something to take up my time when the children are at school and nursery and once I've done all the housework as being a stay at home mum can get pretty boring and you find yourself doing the same thing day in day out. I love making my cards don't get me wrong but I just want to try something new.
I find when I'm making my cards it relaxes me and that's what I love as I can sit there for hours making cards so to put my cards and book art together and make it as one I hope people will be happy and they will put orders in for the book art as well. But only time will tell. I'm in a lot of craft groups where I can post what I have made, and I get quite a lot of like and comments telling me how beautiful they are.
I'm hope that the two will go hand in hand and it will take off quite well and if it doesn't then I can donate them to charity or give them away as presents but at least I will be able to say I tried. And that's all that matters.

Every year during half term of Halloween Beaulieu Motor Museum puts on a haunting week with fireworks display at the end of the end. And I have to say its very good and we go every year. Each year its a different theme for the fireworks display. This year it was Night At The Movies, you can go dressed up or not and same for children. There is a competitions for children to enter for best dressed.
Wave 105 is there every year leading the display and they do a fanatic job keeping everyone entertained and doing the competitions. The entertainment is always great and every one has a fab time. You also get to walk around and see all the different buildings they have.
You can ride the monorail as well as the old fair ground rides they have there to. It makes a brilliant day out and also a fab way to end the night. There are lots of video's you can watch on YouTube to see what its like. They also have a café and all different food stands including sweets. You wont be spoilt for choice.
I will speak to you soon in my next blog.
