What I'm up to...............

OK so I will admit it, I really dont like op shops. Lots of my clothes as a child came from them but I haven't ventured into them since.
Today while out I mentioned to my Gran could she keep an eye out for any great looking fabric if she ever goes in an op shop. Well later on while I was in the post office she popped into the local ADRA shop and spotted something but Gran being Gran didn't know if it was right. I went back and had a look and its fantastic. And for only $3.00.

I will now not be walking past my local op shop. I hope I can come across more great finds like this.

Yippee they finally arrived........

As part of my shop makeover I wanted to have new business cards made. So almost 2 weeks ago I ordered them from Moo and today they arrived.

I am so happy with them, they were also design by Pauline from Skies.

Ok so here is my tip for other sellers out there.

I like to give 2 business cards out with every order (1 to keep and 1 to give away). When I first started I ordered  normal sized business cards. When ordering with Moo they work out at approximately (because of the changing exchange rate) 49c AUD each. So when I was handing out 2 with every order I was handing out almost a $1.00 AUD. 

This time I did some more research and and worked out that a Moo mini card is only approximately (because of the changing exchange rate) 22c AUD, so when I am handing out 2 with my orders I am only handing out 44c AUD. This works out much better and the customer is still getting all the important information and I think that because they are a little different from a normal business card they might just get more than a passing glance.

I hope that this information helps some of you out there.

Birthday Time

My birthday has been a nice one. I decided to have a sleep in this morning instead of having a pancake breakfast (more like my alarm didn't go off).

Went to an appointment then headed off for lunch with my Gran at Sizzler. On the way to lunch I found out some really great news, Lincraft is opening up at Toombul (a local shopping centre). No more long trips to get supplies, cant wait.

I also had a really nice surprise this afternoon from my brother Uri. Uri is living in Canada, so its not very often that we hear from him but to my surprise I got an E-Card from him.

I also got Birthday wishes from My Nana and Pop in NZ and Great Auntie Gwen from England.

Thanks to everyone for your wishes today.
