I also got lots of suggestions from people which were helpful - like to try using vintage paper for journals and to have more blank cards that people can customize (I try to have cards for lots of occasions, but I only have a couple general ones). I can't wait to try some of the ideas and it's good to get advice.
I ordered some sketch paper to use to make new journals which I haven't bought for a while. I actually originally bought some because I don't have a journal right now and wanted to make a sketchbook for myself, but I ended up buying a bunch since I think it's nicer when journals have thicker paper. What do you think - do you prefer thick sketch paper or thinner computer paper in a journal (or something else)? I might make a poll on this blog to put on the side.
I got this listed too:
Yellow Photo Frame Greeting Card
I made it a while ago with decorative paper I picked up in Italy. The paper is handmade and textured. This is my first photo frame greeting card - you can put any photo you want in the front.
I also finished two calendars. :) I'll have them listed and a detailed blog entry on them hopefully by tomorrow.

Very nice.
Be careful with maps though. Many have copyrights & cannot be reused. I work for a map company that checks for this stuff often, so just wanted to warn you.
Hey DJ. Thanks for the advice. It's actually decorative paper that is a print of a map of Chicago - not an actual map. So it's not exactly recycled, it's just made to look like that. :)
your journals are beautiful! I prefer thicker paper for journaling
You have been busy Anna...things are great too. Glad you are selling. :)
