Business Cards

I still have not ordered business cards.  I think I am the world's biggest procrastinator.  This can be a good thing sometimes, and in this instance, it has allowed me to discover something that can help me to stand out.

I know the traditional use for Plastic Cards is for businesses and such, but why not use them as business cards?   Eye Catchers is a Plastic Card Manufacturer, and I have looked at some of their samples, and I really believe I could come up with a really cute business card for myself.

You all know I'm a little different, so why shouldn't my business card reflect that?

Designing Business Cards

I have been seeing a lot of people on blogs and even Facebook asking about the benefits of bloggers having business cards.  I will admit that I have thought about this, too.  I mean, as bloggers, we are basically our own business, so why not promote it any way you can?  I know at the conferences it is great to have something to hand to fellow bloggers as a way of remembering you, and your website.

I have looked at custom business cards and am excited about the idea of designing my own.  Of course it would have some purple on it.  I want something that will depict my three kids, as a boy and two girls.  I can't decide if I should put all of my blogs on one card, though, or if I should get separate cards for each blog.  I guess that since each blog stands on it's own, each should have it's own business card.

How do you do it?

I Love Etsy!

A couple of weeks ago I splurged a little and ordered a few elephants off of etsy. I also ordered a couple of pairs of earrings. The ones that I am wearing in that picture over there are my favorites. They are made with silver wire, and it's all squiggly at the top, then it has two black beads at the bottom. They hang pretty low, which I really like. Sure, they get stuck on my shirt every once in a while, but that's the price we girls pay, right?

The one thing that all these things that I ordered have in common is that there were business cards inside of each package. There was such a variety of business card designs, with some even being magnetic. (I know these are just regular business cards stuck on magnets) I consider myself pretty crafty, but not enough where I would sell what I make. There have been a couple of times where I have tried to make a buck or two, but nothing ever comes of it. I never had business cards made, and maybe that would have helped me get my name out there. Who knows.

I guess I will just continue to give away my creations, and let the people I love enjoy them.
