Tutorials & New Items

I can't believe I'm going back to school this weekend. Summer definitely went by really fast. I'm trying to get a couple listings every day this week. Here's a couple new journals I listed:

Little Red Book



I'm running out of binder's board to make journals out of, so I thought I'd use some scraps to make a few mini journals. I made this "little red book" that I think turned out really cute. I basically made it the same way as my other journals, but scaled down. I priced it using my calculations I do for all my items, but I'm not sure if my price is good. I don't know how much size matters or if it's more skill/technique.

Black and White Faces in Crowd Journal



I made a version of this journal a while ago in the same fabric, but in color. I made this journal with thicker paper and this pretty decorative paper on the inside. I actually made it for myself, but I decided to put it up anyway in case somebody buys it. If after a while, no one buys it, I might end up taking it down and keeping it for myself. :x It'd be great if someone bought it though.

Since I'll be living in college this year and I don't have a lot of room to store all my journals, I'm having my mom send out any orders for my shop. I was kind of upset at first because I really like the whole writing a handwritten note part of my orders. I decided though to include a little typed note with each order - it has a little message on it and also include a list of journaling ideas. I'm putting them in handmade envelopes with my business cards. :) I also wrote that if they wanted, they could send in scanned pictures of what they did with their journal and I'd post it here on my blog. Hopefully, I'll get some orders in the future and people will actually send some pictures in.

I was also thinking of new stuff to add to my blog. I've never tried writing a tutorial. Would anybody be interested in that? I was thinking of something I could do that is pretty simple, like a mini journal like the one posted above (where the stitch is pretty easy and you can make it out of pretty common materials). Just let me know what you think. :) If there's a certain item you like in my shop, I can probably do a tutorial for it. Maybe I'll make a poll.
