I Need YOUR Comments!

A couple of days ago, I opened an Etsy account due to a multitude of remarks from my blogging friends. My mind is rushing with all of the projects I could create to sell. There are so many great things I have created for gifts and of course, I never keep any of them for myself.


Here is a question I have to ask of you, my purchasing public.


What would you be willing to pay for the Chirstmas box either for yourself or a gift?

Don't be shy. Tell me like it is.

Maybe you shoud figure out how much it cost to make and then add a 200% markup.

Yes, you could do that. It was difficult pricing my prints, so I went on etsy and looked at what others were selling theirs for and I went from there.
Honestly, I don't want to tell you what I would pay for the book because it feels weird putting a price on it when I'm a new recipient of one!!
You can always change a price. So just go with you want to charge.

Definitely add the raw material cost and your time, then go from there. At least double it to make it worth your while...These are pieces of art. They are worth whatever you say they are!

I have to agree w/ all of the above. Remember your time is worth something, so include that. I like what Country Girls said about looking and seeing what others are selling items similar to yours. I am poor, so, I probably can't afford one very soon- (violins play here...X ). So maybe every once in awhile, you could do a "special sale" for the likes of me, and maybe to build a bit of client base.

I wouldn't have the slightest idea. I shop clearance on seasonal stuff. Probably go with time x material.

If I see something I love, I'm willing to pay the cost. It's better than putting something in your cart at the store and thinking "Meh!! Whatever...".
Plus, art has an intrinsic value in just its beauty.

Okay, I'm going to break the cycle here and tell you what I would pay for this lovely box and why....keep in mind I'm cheap and never buy anything that isn't on sale...I would pay between $35.00 and $50.00 plus shipping because it's something I would give a girlfriend as a gift and I usually spend up to $50.00 on gifts for them at the holidays. Ofcourse I make things myself and know the cost of the materials and ofcourse your time...

A Peak at 2010 for Fellow Taureans

Year 2010 Overview Taurus always gets tagged with things like "pleasure-seeking" and "materialistic." That's probably unfair, in most cases. You're just as good at dishing out the pleasure as you are at seeking it, and who doesn't like a few nice things around? Sadly, there's been just too much struggle in your life the last couple of years when it comes to those two very important parts of your life. Thankfully, 2010 marks the end of that long uphill struggle . Your pleasurable pursuits have been a little more restricted than you'd like over the course of the last two years or so. That's over with now, so ... game on! The big events this year will not so much be a matter of major happenings as they will be things that have been in the works and are slowly revealing themselves . In the last two years, you've put a lot of work into what makes you happy, while Saturn transited your solar Fifth House. Now that those pressures are finally bei

It is April of  2019. The year that marks my 65th trip around the sun.  Somehow, I always knew that I would make this landmark. There was never a doubt in my mind. The first 65 years have been trouble free. Moderate medical issues. One simple surgery in 2017.  This year will also mark 47 years of marriage to one man. Give me a standing O now, please! It’s incredible to recognize that I’ve know this man for almost 50 years. I don’t regret one single day. Not one.  Sure, there have been times that were filled with questions and struggles. But there have been so many more days that we’re fun filled, raising our two perfect children, living the life of suburbia, two working parents doing their best. Usually, I like to make a big deal about my birthdays. Especially after the surprise party when I was seven years old.  See, my parents were getting divorced at the time of my 7th birthday, Enter my Uncle Frank and Aunt Evelyn to the rescue.  Major distraction to get me out of

Christmas in July Give A Way

What better way to celebrate the middle of summer with a give a way for one lucky blogging friend? Just because I want to, I will be giving away a Christmas box with an accordion album. This happens to be my design and I have already given one away last December. Sorry, Kate , you will have to sit this one out! This paper mache box holds an accordion album inside. More than likely, I will make a minor modification to the box before shipping it to its new home. I really love these vintage papers from Melissa Frances Scrapbook . Her collection of designs and patterns reminds me of a little sea side cottage. I can smell the ocean spray right now. These papers bring me back to a time when I think I would have loved to live…The Victorian Age. But let’s not fool anyone, I want all of the modern day luxuries. This paper on the left takes me back to a time when I played with cut outs. I was never a doll kid, but give me cut outs and I was happy for days. S o if you think you would
