Happy New Year

New year, new start. What am I going to do this year in new products? Hummmm!!!

Well I did do up a few scented wax animals, but these are no brainers as I bought the stuffed animals at the dollar store and the votive candles to melt and put on the bears. They turned out quite cute and I will take them to the swap meet and see if they sell. I usually don't do swap meets but decided I need to get rid of some of my older stock and this just might be the way to do it. I have a local indoor swap meet that is free for the month of January so why not try it.

I am not sure how much or if any bears and dolls I will make this year because of a new law taking effect in February that says all items for children 12 and under needs to be tested before it can be sold. I can't afford this and I don't know of any crafter who could. This just might stop me and my website. I hope everyone will write to their congressman and all the news agencies and help all of us crafters and artists who live in the USA and sell products for children.
