Well, I was on Pinterest today and came across someone selling one very similar to mine for $199.00 Can you believe it!!!!!
I have been asked if I could make a few as some people wanted to buy the finished album, but I declined, as I want to keep my craft a passion not a business...well so far anyway, teehee.
For years (like 25) I had wanted to go into a craft show. I had even made crafts for it. But I never did put myself out there.
My daughters think I am silly for not selling my works. But sometimes its not all about the money :)
Is anyone heading to Mall of America this weekend for their big Scrapfest?
I am heading to Mall of America this weekend, but didn't know Scrapfest was being held on This weekend.
We are going on our yearly Fall family mini vacation.
I am thinking it is going to be crazy and that Archivers is going to be out of a lot of products.
Not that I need anything after my last trip there ;)
But I am sure that's not going to keep me from finding some goodies to buy ;)
I hope you all had a creative Thursday :)
Tracy :)
OH MY...I LOVE that book..it's so awesomely creepy! Love the eye and the look of skin!

I turned my craft (sewing) into a business (making window treatments) 15 years ago. It has its perks, yet it changed the way I view what I do. It's work now which is why I have a papercrafting hobby. I do sew occasionally for fun. do what makes you happy!
ReplyDeleteYeah the good think would be making money fr someting you really enjoy, The bad thing woiuld be that something relaxing would suddenly turn into work.
ReplyDeletehave fun on your mini vacation!! post lots of photos!! have fun
ReplyDeleteOh goodness, if someone actually pays $199 for that book, I may have to start making them!! LOL. I totally get what you are saying. I want to keep enjoying it too and never feel like it's a job. Your mini vacation sounds fun! :) Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteWhoa, I can't imagine someone paying that kind of money for something I made! Lol! I can however, see someone paying that kind of money for something that YOU made :) I hope you have a wonderful time on your family weekend and I can't WAIT for the pictures and stories :) I always feel like I'm right there with you. Hope you still find some good things at Archiver's.
ReplyDeleteHave a fun vacation trip! That book is awesome, the eye just makes it look so cool.
ReplyDeleteWow! That is a lot of money, but worth it.
ReplyDeleteAnd when you think of all the time that went into it, probably still not enough though :)
Have a great trip!!
that eyeball won't stop looking at me.
ReplyDeleteHave a fun vacation trip and the book is amazing.
ReplyDeleteFab work.!!!!

You should definitely sell yours!!!
ReplyDeleteAh! I wish I was going to Mall of America this weekend. Unfortunately, I am not :(
ReplyDeleteYou should sell your crafts, but only if you want to! They are definitely amazing enough, and I'm sure people would love to buy them, but if you don't want to sell them, then you shouldn't do something you don't want to do!
I always want to join a design team, but I get too shy to try out. I'm afraid they are going to laugh at me! So if that's what's holding you back, you're being crazy, because your crafts rock! But if you just don't want to, that's a different story!
You should totally sell your wares, just go for it!! Have fun shopping :D
ReplyDeleteOh wow! Enjoy your time at my favorite mall!!! I got my wedding dress there, but no we didn't get married at the chapel there. :)
ReplyDeleteOh my I am so so so far behind on your posts again. I haven't been on my computer enough these last few days. With getting used to the school routines, dance classes and trying to close on our house I'm all over the place. Today I was just so tired, probably from a rough week I had. I am more than happy it is over. I wish I was going to the mall of america. I would love some new scrap goodies. I haven't gotten anything new in a while. Okay not true, I just bought a ton of Kraftin Kimmie stamps. I guess it just wasn't enough he he he. I would say sell just a little bit so you have more money to buy lots more crafty stuffs :)
ReplyDeleteYou never know the positive things that could happen if you crack open that door:)!!

If I were as talented as you are Tracy I would make extra mini's, cards and such and sell them as long as it stayed enjoyable to you. You do amazing work so why not profit from it, but only on your own terms. hugs, Sybil
ReplyDeleteI agree about not making to sell. I used to do that with fabric crafts and I got to the point where I hated sewing. Now I sew only for myself and for gifts and I love it again.
