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!
