This would be a great book to have. My kids have been bugging me to really make it a go at selling my crafts so this may help me get started. Thanks for giving all of us a chance to win this.
This give away could not have come at a better time for me. My teenage daughter has been through more in the last 3 years than most adult woman would be able to handle, she was in deep depression at by 13. Now 16 and thanks to all the creative ladies on the Internet I have my baby girl back! Her counselor suggested I do a D.I.Y craft with her suggesting it would give a starting point to force interaction.I had to ask “what the heck is that?” When she was done laughing, she told me to do an Internet search. Here we our a year later with D.I.Y “stuff ” everywhere! The crafts, the projects, and ohhhh yes even our tons of mess ups at first, have given me back my daughter! Today she is living life, with real hopes and dreams again. Since Christmas she has been begging to sell our crafts and this would be perfect! I appreciate the chance to be in the drawing. God Bless to all the crafters and thank you for giving a little girl at one time back her SPARK!
I knew about the editions for writers and artists, but didn’t realize there was one for crafters. I’d love to win this!
I would love to read this book. I’m in the process of building a business and soaking up as much knowledge as possible.
Angela, I am so glad your daughter is happy and healthy. A hug from one mom to another. Pat S
My friend Pam and I currently sell at craft shows in the Sacramento, CA area. She sews; I am a jack of all trades. I mostly like taking items and try to repurpose them; i.e., fan blades into message boards, brown bag ornaments, coffee cups into pin cushions. And so much more! We keep talking about a way to broaden our horizon, and I think a book like this cold certainly help. So I am throwing my hat into the ring for the drawing.
I’m starting to sell my crafts and would love to have this book to help me.
What an awesome book! It couldn’t have come at a better time, I’m retired now and have lots of time to create and sell my creations.
Thank you so much.
My boyfriend paints and makes metal art and we would love to get some tips on selling crafts. We already do a little bit but use buy sell trade and craigslist which are not the best outlets.
