When I first started my art business, notecards quickly became a huge part. Packaging the cards was sometimes a family project, with my parents (I had 2 parents back then) and a few friends pitching in (most moved away—can you blame them?)

The packages had 2 each of 5 designs, and they sold for $5 a package.

Times have changed. (Duh, I know.)

Now packages have 4 designs, all the same, for $10. Further, I make no profit if I sell them wholesale, so I only sell them directly or have a few stores with the cards on consignment.

You can see my available designs here. Cabinart/Store/Notecards  

Just enough customers like cards, I love to draw, and I still write notes. So, I press on. . .

Not all the changes are bad. Now it costs the same whether I print a pencil drawing or one with a bit of color.
