If any readers sell or have sold on www.etsy.com, please let me know how you like/liked it. Do you have to have a business license? Because we're raising money for charity, i want to make sure I don't have to pay a company tons of money to listing our items, so that is a concern. just wanted some feedback from some readers before i looked more into it. I just figured it might be a nice way to get the word out there because so many people visit the site (I know i'm on there multiple times a day.)

metal stamps

rather than splurging and spending 50-170 dollars on a metal stamping letter set, i opted to buy a single image (star). This way, i have not spent but a few bucks and i can see if i think the washer keychains will be successful before spending all of that money. I hope it works out. Once it gets in and i get some sample products, i will post some pictures.

keychains

thanks for your feedback on the keychains. does anyone know of anywhere i can get a metal stamping kit locally? I found one online with adorable font, but it's pretty pricey.

too dreamy? NEW IDEA

okay, so now that i can stay up past 8pm, my creativity and imagination are surfacing again.

last night i thought of an idea for Landon's Love...it might be a little lofty as i just might not have the time to do this...or maybe the better statement is...i might not want to spend this time away from my family.

Landon's Love hosts Playdates

Moms, Dads, Sitters, or Grandparents host a playdate party for up to 5 kids.

They choose from a list of activities for me to bring that range from games to arts and crafts.

I bring all of the supplies for the games and arts and crafts.

Kids would leave with "souvenirs" from the playdate such as products from their arts and crafts or replicas of the games we play.

THOUGHTS????

new product idea?

yes or no???? i could customize. Vote to let me know (poll is to the right)

product idea...need your help

i know it's been an eternity since i've posted anything.

it's been a combination of pregnancy and lack of ideas. i'm sure they are related.

i am really searching right now...searching for direction. I think Landon's Love might need a face lift, so to speak. I am trying to figure out if I need to concentrate on ONE thing to sell/do to raise money rather than expanding the Landon's Love line.

I love the magnets that started Landon's Love, but they are awfully time-consuming and if i have not been able to make them now, i can only imagine in the fall that i will have even less time to make them.

I am really searching for a craft that fits this criteria:

--appealing to men and women
--inexpensive to make
--small and easy to store (remember...i'm giving up my craft room for this little bun in the oven!)
--can be priced reasonably
--materials are easy to find in my area

I have one idea, but want to keep that to myself because i am eager to hear your ideas first.

until next time...cross your fingers that creativity will re-enter my brain.
