I am going down to Ali's on Friday and it's her school's bazzar type thing, so I am taking my cards down to sell. I have made lots of new ones.
Last night I made about 20, I have 50 -60 done in all. At least I'll have enough to give out now, if they don't sell Laughing

How many has anyone else made?

20 cards in one night! Shocked

I've made none, zilch, zero, zip...but I was planning on only sending cards to people I won't see over christmas and they'll be electronic cards. Good luck at the school bazaar, hope they all sell well for you Becki Very Happy

Coo you work fast Becki - it take me a morning just to do one! Not cost effective man hours wise Rolling Eyes

I too am going to try and send less - (if OH agrees), and donate the money to charity.

Enjoy the bazaar.

BTW how long does it take you to get to Devon - are you quite near?

I'm driving, mark is going down seperately so it will take me 21/2 - 3 hrs i would have thought.

I tend to cut all my bits and bob out first and then get going. I find it quite quick that way.

Our personal cards I do quite late on as I have to get all of my orders & commissionsdone quite early on in order to get them all done on time.

I do quite simple ones for Jon & I, a photograph.
The one I am using this year is a view of our house, over the hedge up the lane....

This reproduction here doesn't do it credit, but you will get the idea.

That's good Becki - not far at all to Devon then. A good tip - get everything cut out and ready - but I am just not that well organised. I should sit and think a design first I guess.

Love the photo Mrs N - looks like an oil painting - a nice effect that.

Just looked at your photos link on your blog - and what a good idea - I love your photos

Now I will have to take photos with a view to putting on cards. Come on snow!!!

They really are pretty - take a look

How about a photo of your stall at the bazaar Becki - will it be all Christmassey the bazaar?

You should get a good crowd at the school - my daughter in law gets really good results at our grand children's school - they are very supportive of all school fundraising.

Hope you have a successful day
