Takin care of business and working overtime

Woo hoo - I finally got my business cards in the mail today. I ordered them 2 weeks ago from ooprint, which is an online company (of course) and they're based in Belgium. Which is kind of annoying, mail-wise. But they look so cool - exactly what I expected, and so cute in person. I picked these specifically for their unusual size.

Thanks again to Leslie for her fabulous graphic design assistance.

It's good that I have them because I've got 2 Craft Fairs coming up:

Sat Oct 20, 9am-4pm at the Phinney Ridge Community Center in Seattle
Sat Oct 27, 10am-3pm at the Redmond Senior Center

We'll see how it goes. Other experienced folks have warned me to: have enough pieces to sell, watch out for theft of small items, and have an attractive display.

Hopefully it'll be a good chance to make connections with potential online buyers, if they don't buy something in person. Woot!

    Yay! I hope the graphic doesn't look pixelated? It looks better in your post than what I saw on their website.

    The coloring is perfect for the upcoming holiday season too :)

    Thanks Leslie! Nope, it doesn't look pixelated on the card - I just didn't spend too much time with my scanner for this pic.

    Thanks again for your help!!

    Those are neat little cards. What sort of dimensions are they?

    And yeah, if you need any more craft show tips, feel free to pick my brain either in advance or at Phinney Ridge. The woman I shared a table with at all of my shows in Illinois was a jewelry person, so I have a few ideas that would apply to you. :)

    @Dawn - I think they're 2.5x2.5 inches. I'd love to pick your brain about craft shows. Are you on any kind of IM?

    Closest thing I have to IM is Gmail, but I'm pretty much ALWAYS logged in, as I'm sure you've noticed today. :) I can chat on there if I'm not horribly busy at work, or just E-mail lots otherwise. :)
