Nancy, first let me say I admire you and your work. I am a retired elementary teacher. Crafting has always been a part of my life. Midway through my teaching career I took a break and opened my own gift shop where I tried to sell my crafts. Nine eleven happened and my business in this rural area couldn’t survive. I closed the doors on the store but I still made things when I had time with my busy teaching career. I have spent the last 12 months trying to make it work. I’m struggling though. My self confidence comes and goes. The economy where I live is sad. I have tried taking my crafts out to festivals and different events.many times I’m lucky to make back the set up cost. I am busy with special orders but I’m scared that I won’t continue to get special orders. I feel this need to sell more. Do you have any resource that could teach me how to make this thrive?
Love watching your "How to videos". You reference your secret vendor for supplies but I can't seem to locate that. Coukd you please advise me as to locate that so I can buy some supplies.
Thanks you for teaching us all how to be creative.
Nancy – I do not know if you will ever see this msg., but I have decided to just make wreaths and donate them. I get more satisfaction seeing people smile and their eyes light up than I do selling. I just want to thank you for all of your advise and helpful hints. And I will continue to follow you on FB. Thank you for all your encouraging words.

Of course I do, Paula. It’s hard to sell in your hometown. I know it was for me. Things really turned around for me when I began selling online.
I have an Inner Circle where I teach ladies just like you how to perfect your skills and then start selling online.
It’s only $19.97 per month and well worth every penny! You can go to this page to read more about it: http://www.NancysInnerCircle.com.
Don’t wait too long as we will close the doors of February 1st for a few months before we open them back up.
God Bless & Merry Christmas! Nancy
