Trying to get some action

It's time to get some more action happening with my Creative Memories business. My time is ticking for me to qualify properly, and i'm *slightly* starting to worry. So far i've been doing as much as I can without having to spend a fortune (that isn't there yet... YET!) but it doesn't seem like its enough.

I've done a letterbox drop, done one lot of markets - just waiting on the next lot of cheaper stalls to come up on the calendar and I started up a Facebook group (if your on Facebook CLICK HERE ). I've also sent emails and messages to pretty much everyone that I know, but only one of the leads that I had from that has actually turned into anything.

It's hard not to get disheartened, as I enjoy doing this so much and feel that its right but for some reason things just aren't going as well as I really need them to at the moment.

I know, i'm whinging I guess but i'm also throwing it out to anyone who reads this, if you have any ideas on things that I could be doing to get more action happening, PLEASE let me know! I know that people are reading my blog, but it seems that everyone like to lurk and not say hello. Promise I will try not to bite, although i've just finished reading Twilight so hey, I can't promise I won't LOL

Anyone in Brisbane who reads this, if your interested please let me know!!

Not in Brissie so I can't be of much help but I'm a reader and I comment just about everytime I come by ;-)
Hope things pick up soon and that the markets stalls come through soon for you with loads of sales etc. Hang in there!

Hey, I was talking to friends about scrapping and none of them are really into crafty sort of stuff, but I was thinking with Mothers Day coming up fairly soon maybe you could do a card making party?

Not sure if that's a feasible idea. If it is though, perhaps people could bring photos of their kids to make a card for Grandma/Nana? Also (although again, no idea how to work it) I'd be happy to bring my camera to take some happy snaps.

Maybe you could get people addicted that way? ;)
I wish I had more creative friends!

Thanks for the ideas girls! Yes Cass, I have spoken to kindy about it, and have had a couple of orders from the staff there which was great. Need to get my flyer out there though so will talk to the girls next week. Oh, and I will text you the address :)

LOVE the card idea Lexie! Definitely doable, and have quite a few ideas already to do some. We will have to catch up again soon and chat some more as I have an idea that may just work.

Jen, thanks for visiting!! Oh and I am a new Twilight convert! Watched the movie last night, LOVED it!! I finally got SBC to work on my laptop but I used to do digi scrapping in Photoshop, need to get used to the new way ;)
