Today My Cousin Ruthie will be coming over  and we will be brainstorming  designs for   Our Cousin  Sarahs wedding invitations  .. Thank you all for your insight on  pricing  my craft show goodies . This will be my 1st ever Craft show   and even though I am exited I still am not sure what to expect Personally I had been thinking  I was going to sell the  criss cross card and notes for between 5-6 dollars and after reading  everyones thoughts Maybe I will sell them for 8.00… I think  things sell better if there is a  varitiy of  high priced items and low priced items  I am going to try and keep everything  under the 15.00 mark because I do want to make  sales  and get my name out there and maybe keeping these  criss cross note holders  at a some what middle price , it should do good.. here is  what I would say a Low priced item would be  The sour cream containers  for Snowman poop  I seen Taylors tags on hers and fell in love with  the way she did hers  so I put my own twist on mine .. I dont think this will be the  final  design since I just got in my small  cello bags  and plan to play around with them today sometime ..  even though the vellum sourcream containers seem more eye catching  But  is not as cost effective as the sm cello bags ..( will keep you all posted on what I come up with  for them ..)  But  what do you all think about selling these at 2.00 each .. I will also be making Raindeer poop ones with raisins.. I personally think I wil try and make alot of these since my main focus is  men at my craft show  . These cute poop items  may be a big hit with them ..  I also plan to have a basket of  cards ( made from swaps )  for 1.00 each( dose that sound like a good price? )  and also  sets of  Christmas cards ,  gift packages of cards, cute  and handy  gifts  like acrylic frames  for post it notes, envelope  notecard holder ,    I was also thinking of making a  mixed  pack of cards for hubbys with  ( a anniversary , birthday , valentines day, sweetest day ) a year full of cards he could use for his wife/girlfriend .. stay tuned for these  items ..  so you can help price these also .:-)

Here are a few photos of my dads scrapbook  my mom and daughter found on Sunday . thank you all for   asking me to share it with you .. His  scrapbook is dated back to 1951 so needless to say this thing is falling apart  with each turn .. but oh so Precious.. there are photos of him , and a few of his teachers , report cards,  lots of birthday cards ..( CAN YOU SAY…TONS OF  IDEAS FOR DAWN!! ) one thing I noticed was that alot of these cards  have alot of play on words .. and I just love that ( example .. the drum card  says .. Here’s a wish you  can’t "BEAT"  Corny I know but I love it ..  and also alot of pop up cards  But one question I would like to ask why OH why did they send my Dad Pink. flowery cards .. HUMMM  I now  its the thought that counts BUT wouldnt you  agree that this is a BIG NO! NO !  today in 2006 ..   also  writtings from my  My dads Mom/ My grandma   which goes to show you  even though you may hate your  writting, Please understand  …  50 years later  someone will treasure  your  writting .. Like we do with this book .

Thanks for peeking in today

until  later .. Happy Stampin!
