Personalized gifts

I can't believe that it is that time of year again! Christmas is right around the corner. It really is time to start thinking about what to get for your loved ones. Too Stinkin' Cute Scrapping can help with your personalized gifts. Is there something that you have seen on Pinterest that you want to make but don't have the time? Is there a gift that you have thought about doing but don't know how to make it? If you have an idea of what you want I can help.

I have done many personalized gifts over the years including calenders, scrapbooks, mugs, themed baskets, bookmarks and much more. Feel free to contact me with anything that will make your Christmas shopping a little easier!

Ordering cards and tags for Christmas

Make sure to preorder your Christmas cards! Christmas is my busiest time of the year so get your orders in early. If you have any special additions such as a family photo just let me know.

If Christmas cards are not for you, I also do gift tags. I usually charge 50 cents a tag depending on supplies.

I can ship anywhere in the United States and I only charge shipping, no handling charges. Make sure to contact me with any questions that you have!

Personal scrapbooker

Lately I have been doing a lot of personal scrapbooking. It really is the thing that I enjoy doing most. I finally figured out all the ligistics of the pricing. I charge $5 for a 8x8 page and $7 for a 12x12 page. I looked up how much other people charge and then reduced it by $2. I want to be affordable for everyone. I also have been doing personalized gift tags for $2 a tag. These prices are dependant on the amount of work and materials that are needed. The price will be adjusted accordingly depending on what you want.

If anyone wants any of their memories scrapbooked feel free to email me at toostinkincutescrapping@yahoo.com

Additional product for the Kent and Burien Farmers markets

I have two new chairs for the farmers markets. The first one is another flower chair. I am selling it for $25. Originally I had the other chair posted for $15 but I had so many requests for them that I decided to up the price. It takes me quit a bit of time to do these chairs so I think that the price increase is pretty fair.

The second chair is Mary Engelbreit. It is absolutely one of my most favorite things that I have ever made. If I had a little girl I would definitely keep it for her. I am selling this chair for $35. I also have a matching table that I am selling for $45. I will sell the set for $70.

The last addition that I have for the markets is my little suitcase. Hopefully this one will sell as well as the other ones have. I am selling this one for $15.

 

 This week Fonna and I will be doing the Burien Farmers Market on Thursday and the Kent Farmers Market on Saturday. Hope to see you all this week!

Sold items so far at the Burien Farmers Market

So far today I have sold the little child's chair and a lamp that was posted on my facebook site. I also sell these little wood boxes that have different decorations on them. The one the I sold today was turquoise with a purple fairy on it.

One of my favorite items that I make are these mini luggage's that I decoupage. I wish I had taken pictures of them but I forgot :-( Every week I consistently sell the ones that I have made. I think that I am going to have to keep that product in our booth every week. The first one that I sold was decoupaged with retro flower paper. The one that sold this week was covered in a reprint of a newspaper from the early 40's then of course it was antiqued. Hanging from the handle was key charms. I also added a mirror on the inside that Fonna helped me cut. I must say that it was too stinkin' cute! I sold one of those cases last week that was a medium size. I sell the small one for ten and the medium one for fifteen. The next time that I make one I will post a picture.

I am so glad that I am finally getting to know what product sells well. I have been trying to start this business for over a year now and I finally feel like I am getting somewhere. My next step is to open a fully functioning website. Anyone know of any good free places to start a website?

More product!

I have been working so hard lately on getting this business really booming. I am excited to say that I have been consistently selling my product through my facebook page and the Burien Farmers Market. Lately my husband has been promoting my business too to all of his friends and coworkers and I have been able to start expanding my personal scrapbooker part of my business. 

I think the hardest thing about starting a business is making something that sells and brings in enough money to make it worth all the effort. Recently it has been the antiqued furniture that has been bringing in the most money at the farmers market. I actually really enjoy doing it. I love my new sage green line. I think that I am also going to start doing a pastel pink line also. I put up the pictures of the sage green line on facebook and sold a piece about five minutes later.

Lately I have been doing a lot of personized scrapbooking. Today I just got an order for making a scrapbook using recipes that have been pasted down from generations. I am really excited to start the project. I will be shopping for all the product at Joann fabrics on Saturday. I will be doing that scrapbook with a vintage theme.

I will post pictures of the scrapbook as it unfolds. Of course I will be posting the pictures without the recipes. I can't give away family secrets :-)

Expanding my business

I have recently started to do more than just scrapbook. I have started altering furniture too. My most recent creation is the chair that is posted on this page. It is a child's chair covered in various flowers. I am selling it at the Burien market this Thursday for fifteen dollars if anyone is interested. It ended up being a really fun project that I will be doing more of. It is a good in front of the T.V. kinda project. If anyone has any projects that they want me to do for them let me know. I also "antique" already existing pieces. I will post more pictures of my other work in the next few days.

Getting into scrapbooking stores and doing craft shows

I have recently decided that I am going to get my product into scrapbooking stores around Washington. I really feel this is the next step into advancing Too Stinkin' Cute Scrapping. I really hope that some of my product will get out there. I have already been taking orders through my Too Stinkin' Cute Scrapping page on Facebook. I have started to make cards, notebooks, cupcake toppers and large individual gift tags.

This spring/summer I will also be doing craft shows at the Burian and Kent markets. I am also hoping to do Kent Cornucopia days this July too. I think that adding all these avenues will get me somewhere. I am so excited for the possibilities of the business growing! I am so ready to work for myself.
