February with a hint of December

Winter saw me hibernating, huddled around the pc and not being terribly creative. I had the odd spurt of orders around Christmas mainly from some colleagues in my business networking group 4Networking but it was quieter than I expected. However it's given me loads of food for thought. I've got new and really exciting stuff on the go - there'll be a demo video on YouTube shortly, a collaboration between me and two great people, Jen and James, who own Speak Out Media which is a fabby media company who do all sorts of clever stuff with video, PR and so on. The key message I learned this Christmas (and bear with me cos it was my first festive season!) was that I need way way way more exposure to up my sales. So the work starts now.


New stuff happening

I'm intending to start some occasional workshops this summer offering visitors the chance to make a jotter out of recycled materials - hopefully with some fancy bits as well.

I'm also starting to promote the seedies as wedding favours - a long lasting 'gift' to say thank you to wedding guests. I will have some samples on the website shortly and I will be doing some fairly extensive marketing to get these on the wedding circuit radar.

I've got a plan to produce some birthday books as well. Watch this space.

I've made this a short post because I wanted to re start my blogging habit. Next one will have much more substance and loads of pics.
