hmmm thoughts and thinking

I am at that crossroads.

It's time to move forwards ...

or left ...

or right??

 

 

I have had some serious thoughts lately (it does happen but not often!) my new journal styles have had great feedback.

Which left me thinking about my fabric journals.

I get asked ALOT at if i make them with removable covers, which i don't but, after recently making some for a special request, this got me thinking again. (may explain my recent headaches!!)
It is silly not make what people want.

 

 

Discovery facts:

-young boys journals don't sell well-

-older male journals sell really well-

-journals aimed at teenage girls don't sell well-

-pretty girl journals (aimed at youngesters) sell really well-

-if my heart isn't in a journal design it will show and these journals don't sell well-

-if i love the design i'm making it (and secretly want to keep it) it will sell well-

-birds (esp owls) and butterflies sell well but fairies don't sell well-

-quirky items sell ... strange do not!!!

-coloured pages don't sell well.

 

Another recent discovery is don't be afraid to try new things.

With this in mind i am going to change what i make.

 

 

I would be interested to see if other journal makers agree with these statements.
