    These projects are simply darling! You specifically asked about the price of the planner but I honestly think you should be charging more for all of these things. Your time is valuable and these are unique and absolutely adorable. It’s clear how much care you put into them.

    Customers at craft fairs almost never take into consideration how much time goes into crafting an item and will almost never be willing to pay what our crafts should actually be worth.

And I would promote it for several years use. I like to record what gifts I give and also the gifts we receive. Glad that I found your channel. I can hear the excitement in your voice!

    Beautiful work you’ve done. I’m not so sure younger people adults as well as teens would use them because of the iPhones etc they carry. So many programs are at their finger tips. I wish the younger would go back to books for many things but todays technology Is jumping. Of course my age group grannies etc still depend on things in writing. I love notebooks for all ways of life. Still to this day I have calendars and different sizes of notebooks. Id have a field day going through your collection. Your pricing is pretty good. $3,5,10,12.50 are my hopes when shopping. So you are pretty good on your pricing. Beautiful work.

    I think the Christmas planner is genius- make sure you mention you can use them several years running. From a practical standpoint it would be so useful, and also a wonderful thing to share family recipes and traditions. I wonder if you could go $25 on the planner but add some pockets or frames for pictures and to keep recipe cards and receipts?

Where they photo albums that you started with? Where did you purchase them from? Did you buy the recipe cards or just print them offline? Great mix of products to sell. I hope your show is successful.

    Great ideas and cute items. I think you could sell those first few items for more $$$. The only thing I thought might have been a bit high was the place setting cards. Just done friendly feedback. They are all beautifully done.

    I don't think $15 is too much for your Christmas journals. Like you said they can be used for multiple years. Your items are packaged beautifully! Curiosity question. If you sold everything that you take, will it cover the cost of your booth?

    Thank you! Yes, if I sold everything it would cover my booth cost and a very good profit. I don't ever do shows that have a high vendor fee. I'm doing two shows in November, one cost me $90 and the other $25. Thanks for letting me know your opinion on my Christmas planners ♡

    IMO, you are underselling your awesome talent! If there was absolutely no material cost to you to create these items, your time and talent are worth more than your asking price.

    Thank you I appreciate your that! To be honest I never feel like I can charge what I feel items are really worth. Only because (most) shoppers don't understand the time that goes into making these crafts. So unfortunately I have to sell them for what people will pay. I still make a little profit but I'm basically working for free. Good thing I enjoy creating. Thank you 😊♡

    Sometimes, it is not just about making money but putting a value on what your talent is worth to yourself. When you truly value your worth, others will recognize it, and the sales will follow. Remember that saying, "If you build it, they will come"? I believe in you. ❤

You buy all that stuff and use your time to make it. I live in a big city and I would sell it for that Also, at some point could you show how you package the ones with the toppers and where you got all the things for the tea bag with the spoon. I ,also, would like if you could make a list of people that you said you got ideas from - I couldn’t understand some of their names and I would like to look at their things as well.
