I started this blog a few months ago for a few reasons - I was starting to craft and bake with more frequency and I wanted a place to share and document, I really wanted to participate in all those fun linky parties, but mostly I wanted to join this community of amazing women!!
So when Beth at The Stories of A to Z left a super sweet comment on my blue planner post, I wanted to send her a planner so I could practice my skills and make some new friends. Here is a sneak peak of the planner I made her, and if you go to her blog, you can see all the great pictures she took on her super sweet and complimentary post.
I also would like to say thank you and welcome to all of Beth's readers who have come to pay me a visit. I appreciate all your kind words and interest in my blog.
Here is another planner that I made for a co-worker.
I really enjoy making these and everyone has given me such a positive reaction, so.....
After the holidays I'll be selling them on etsy. All of the planner's will be semi-custom. I'll pick out the papers and embellishments and you get to choose what you want your four pockets to be labeled and let me know what monogram should go on the cover.
Could you all give me some advice? What would you be willing to pay for one? I want to make sure that I price these appropriately. Stay tuned, I'll keep you informed on when I start making planners for sale and when they will arrive in my store.
Standing it up to take a pic was a brilliant idea that for some reason didn't occur to me :). I adore my planner and I'm thrilled that you will be selling them. I think you should figure the supply cost and time it takes you to make them and go from there. $18? I don't know. I'm terrible with pricing things but I think somewhere between $15-20 would make sense.
ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful and so fun! Came on over from A to Z and decided to stay♥
ReplyDeleteHey Heather-
ReplyDeleteI came from Beth's blog and I just wanted to tell you that after I saw this tutorial, I went and made one. I had all the supplies I needed on hand and I loved it so much. I am going to blog about it Monday and of course, give you credit!
That's great that you are going to sell them on Etsy. I don't know how long it takes you, but it took me close to 2 hours to make one, so you should definitely factor time into the cost. Though I am TERRIBLE with pricing too! : )
Happy weekend!

Hey, just coming back to let you know that I posted about my planner on my blog and linked back to you! : ) Check it out!
ReplyDeleteYou do them really well, Heather, and you seem to enjoy making them, too. Obviously, both important things if you want to sell them. I love the initial one you made for your co-worker!
ReplyDeleteI guess you'd have to be careful how you price, in that if it's too high people will just make them on their own. Is anyone else selling them? Maybe you could get an idea of what to charge if someone else sells them, too.
Hi! I found you on my little sis' blog (Beth). These are soooo creative and pretty. You are quite talented.
