I'm doing one this coming Sunday, but I suspect it might just be my last. I'm going to go online only from now on.<br /><br />Hope your week is being good to you - your little munchkin is just adorable despite all his troubles.<br /><br />Morti @35Mortihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09440669891053820738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2618470315165003709.post-64778574807878225772016-12-05T06:04:48.355+00:002016-12-05T06:04:48.355+00:00Hi Anne, Sorry I've been a stranger and I'...Hi Anne, Sorry I've been a stranger and I'm sorry that the craft fair was a bit of a washout. Maybe a hospital or nursing home could take your left-overs, so you don't have to store them. It's a shame, but it would be a shame not to have someone enjoy all that hard work and talent you put into your creations! I hope your Mum is doing okay. How perfect to come by just when you had a new photo of the Pipsqueak! What a cutie! He sure looks bright-eyed so I hope you find out the damage is very minimal. Lots of love and hugs, Darnell (Since you don't have a Follow by Email, I don't get notice of your posts in my inbox, but I've subscribed to you via Bloglovin, too, so maybe I won't miss so many!)Darnellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10723876053535575880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2618470315165003709.post-7232542340067563012016-12-03T21:40:01.330+00:002016-12-03T21:40:01.330+00:00Dear Anne, I just had a long visit with you throug...Dear Anne, I just had a long visit with you through scrolling back through your posts that I have missed until now. I am so sorry that your husband and you were ill. I am fighting off a virus...not too wretched, thankfully. I am glad that your last class was a success and am sorry that the craft fair was not worth all you invested in it. [my one venture participating in a craft fair ended with no sales for me] Your great nephew looks like such a sweetie! Sending you good wishes, no germs, and lots of hugs :) xxGracie Saylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09499163425742659172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2618470315165003709.post-11543462804033095942016-12-02T21:19:49.537+00:002016-12-02T21:19:49.537+00:00Been there and done hat with the craft fairs!

I have revised my plans for presenting Tarot readings in handmade books, ie I will not be! The amount that people will pay for my additional time and the materials would not make any profit at all. I am sticking to email readings. I used to make cards for clients - but it was rare that I would get paid enough to really cover costs.

Once you put the materials and your time in them, there's not much profit to be made. Your great nephew looks incredibly cute - sorry to hear he had a bumpy start in life - hope it works out ok in the end. These little guys are very resilient and can defy medical science.
