Card Class Preview












I have had a very busy week and the card party went well. I am sorry I did not report earlier but here are some pictures we took. Everyone had a very good time and made some really cute cards to take home. The food was good and plenty of it for all. Ten ladies showed up and 2 children. It only took an hour for them to make the cards and then we did interviews and took pictures of each person. We did not get anyone to book a party but I shall keep putting up flyers and talking to people. I want to be able to teach people a new craft. One they will find out if they enjoy before they invest their money. Our parties give people a chance to see if they like card making and how easy and fun it is. We bring all the supplies to make the cards so the only output is your class fee. We always have a good time. We have cards of different levels to pick from for beginners to the experienced card maker.

Work Source


I went to class the other day for unemployment at Work Source. It was a wonderful meeting and I learned a lot and the resources seem endless. They offer all kinds of help to find employment and get education and they have special programs for those of us over 55. I was very impressed with the whole program and our instructor Ken. There were 5 of us in the class and the three women were all named Linda. Pretty bizarre, however we were all about the same age. I guess that was when Linda was a popular name. The instructor thought it was very unusual.
I was just reading how logo’s are important to get people to recognize you and your business. How does this sound? “Card Making Class at home, we bring the fun to you” Would this be a good logo?
Our test class is tomorrow and I am excited about the people that are coming. It should be a lot of fun and I hope we get some good film and interviews.I shall post some pictures for those that missed it.

Knowledge


I went away with my sisters and daughter this weekend to have a good time and get their feedback on our business ideas and plan. They had some very good suggestions that I shall follow through with. I am getting very excited about our card making class this Sunday and I think that will be fun and a good learning experience. We hope to have a lot of people show up and teach them how to make a card and get their feedback on our process and ideas. We also want pictures of everyone having a good time making the cards. I have some good treats I am going to make for our guests.
One thing I did learn was that we needed a business plan and a plan for what our hosts will receive for having a card a making class. We also need to have several sample cards for our hosts to pick from for their party. This is the fun part, making up the cards. Heather and I did that today and made some cute cards. We posted them on face book. I am going to get busy now putting kits together for Sunday. Hope to see you all here on Sunday it will be fun.
