What a busy week I have had. I finally added to my bookmark product line. Check out the new wire bookmarks. http://www.elizanne.ca/page.php?groupingID=store&categoryId=4005
Made from flexible beading wire with an attractive arrangement of beads at one end and either a flat metal bead or a hand-wrapped wire element at the other. They are suitable for the standard hard cover novel. I love using mine as it doesn't damage the book and it doesn't get ragged on the edges. I also find it won't slip down in the book and get lost.
Working full time and crafting in the evening and on weekends is quite the balancing act and requires a lot of patience and I am discovering a Blackberry with a good data plan. To give myself lots of time to craft and post to the web on evenings and weekends I write my product descriptions and blogs during my commute, then e-mail it to myself to copy and paste later.
The level of success of your business will depend on your organizational and time management skills. A calendar of upcoming events, a time line of what to do by when, a filing cabinet for your business papers, and a plan are all necessary to success. As with your craft, it will take some time to become organized but if you really believe in what you make you will become organized even if you have to get someone to help you.
I started this with a busy week but it really was a busy two weeks. Tracking how long it takes me from completion of the product until I get it postd on the web gives me an idea of how far in advance I need to have things made to take advantage of hot sellinv seasons. I will add this to my calendar so that I don't miss a good oportunity like I did Valentine's Day.
