Ideas jumbling around in my head....

Many of you know that I make jewelry. I used to sell a lot, but lately it just doesn't sell on Ebay and Etsy (too competitive). I have been tossing an idea around in my head for a few years and I am really wanting to do it badly now. I have been thinking about starting a little side business of doing beading parties. Not parties like Scentsy or Pampered Chef, but birthday parties. I would come and show girls how to bead a bracelet and then they would make their own. I think it would be a lot of fun and girls would love it!

I would have lots of styles, and embellisements to choose from from very basic to name bracelets. The prices would start at $10-$15 per girl for basic and end around $25 to $30 per girl for fancier or name bracelets. It would be a fun activity and I would include a goody bag for each girl.

I really want to do this but don't know how to get started, so I figured I would post it on my blog. Please share your input!!

Second I would really love to do a craft boutique. I just need to get the $$dough to get an inventory and info on craft boutiques. So if anyone knows of craft boutiques coming up with atleast a few months prep time I would love info!

The Incredible, Edible......PLAY DOUGH!

Emmalee was begging for play dogh today. For some reason I remembered an episode of Jon and Kate plus 8 where she made the kids edible play dough. So I decided to make it for Emmalee. She loved it. Now it does cme out pretty sweet so you can try substituting 1C of powdered sugar(or all of it) with powdered milk. I may try that next time because it really is seriously sweet.

Emmalee loved it and was so suprised when I encouraged her to eat it!
