A Little About My Business
I am a SAHM, but trying to be a working SAHM. I am trying to start up a craft business selling Personalised gifts made by the art of pyrography. Gifts range from wedding keepsakes, christening, birth plaques, birthday, new home, a child art work hanger etc. At christmas I made personalised decorations for the tree, the best seller was personalised teacher gifts and I had some wonderful feedback that the teachers specially wrote a personal thank you that it was the most thoughful gift. I want to be flexible in my approach, eg you can ask to change the wording of a particular gift, so that it makes a special gift for someone to give, change the ribbon colour etc
Just came across your page and thought I would say hi. I also make handmade personalised gifts but in a different medium (beads) so it would be good to keep in touch.
It is a pleasure to meet you! We have a great community in WEB MUMS. A place where women can pool their skills, thoughts, expertise and so much more. Truly a great forum and I am happy to meet you;)

Hi Fiona,
Got some great news for you! You've won the Web Mums competition for some Pampering Whipped Shea Butter! Just get in touch with Sabine and let her know your address and she'll sort it all out for you.
Well Done!!

Thanks for your welcomes, I'm being a bit slow in working everything out.
I haven't really made any sales yet which is a bit demotivating. But I've made some flyers to hand around to direct people to the ebid shop. I gave one to a lady at my little boy's pre-school gym activity class and she loved them, she is going to buy one of my items. Apart from that I'm feeling down that maybe the items are rubbish.
I've put a question on one of the groups about pricing, how do you know what price to set? If anyone has looked at my ebid page http://uk.four.ebid.net/perl/main.cgi?mo=user-store&title=Samigails-Personalised-handmade-Gifts i wondered if anybody had any views - are the items too expensive?
Any criticism is welcomed, I think there is a lot to be gained from constructive criticism.
Oh, and I'm going to my very first fair next week - please keep fingers crossed I don't fall flat on my face!
Fiona - I have just sent you an invite to join the group on here and you are already a member - see? Have a temperature for a week and it really does fry your brain!
Anyway - glad to see that you are already a member - I guess I haven't managed a natter with you yet so I didn't realise you were here!
How is your business going? I think the concept is wonderful, I really like the uniqueness of it.
Glad you could join us! I'm sure you will find the inspiration you are looking for here on Web Mums. I will have a look at your site and let you know what I think. :o)
The Resources tab is a good place to start - as the site can seem a little confusing at first! Once you have found your feet. Pop over to the forums to say hi - or leave some messages on members profile page or why not join some groups? We have a group on here called Crafty Creators which you may like to join. It's quite new, so do feel free to post pics and start of discussions!
