Wire Work Secrets For Jewellery Makers - "I work in wire all the time but I learned some really excellent tips I've never heard before."

"Christine- Thanks for taking the time out of your busy mom day to share your jewelry making expertise.

I work in wire all the time but I learned some really excellent tips I've never heard before.

And breaking the neck - that entirely solved my loop problem- I was always having to adjust loops after the fact, but your simple trick makes me just want to smack myself in the forehead.

It was so simple, but nobody (and I have about 200 books and magazines) has never shown me that one trick that makes all the difference."

Beading For Beginners - Reading 'Beading for Beginners' gave me great motivation to start beading again. It's been years that I've been stuck trying to figure out new patterns and new ways to bead. Now I realize how much I've lost out on!

Beading for Beginners gave me excellent advise on what types of beads, patterns, and specific beading instructions on how to make beautiful jewelry.

Thanks Vivienne for writing this book, I have really enjoyed reading it and would like to recommend it to anyone who is interested in beading as a newbie or advanced!

The Ultimate Bead Lover's Guide - I do love the book. It is very basic and simply stated and is a great jumping off place for folks starting in beading. For someone such as myself who has been beading for many years, it is a great resource guide. Thanks so much!

Step-By-Step Face Painting - I was so pleased to get a copy of your book. Although previously I did a short course on face painting, I only painted adults. Nothing prepared me for painting children. When asked to do a party of 30+ children aged 4 & 5 yrs I agreed, (privately terrified!).

I badly needed information and ideas for quick simple designs and found this very hard to get. If I had had your book which covers so much including the setting up and preparing children before actually starting painting, I would have been a lot more confident. Now I feel armed for future sessions and look forward to more enjoyable interaction with the children. Thank you.

Make Your Own Fragrances - I was very impressed when I read the Sweet Smell of Success guide. This is a manual I would highly recommend to anyone who is serious minded about pursuing their own line of business within the perfume world. The contents of the manual are highly informative. J . Gayle

Simple Soap Making - "Can I even tell you how many times I washed my hands yesterday when I brought home your soap?

It had a subtle, comfort scent and made my hands feel moisturized and pampered. This is definitely going to be a staple in my bathroom!

My fiance, who is usually oblivious to the products that I put near the sink, even commented on it and brought it into the shower with him in the morning.

We will definitely be purchasing more of these and look forward to trying out other variations of your soaps.

This stuff is top-notch!"

Home Based Jewelry Business - "Lorri Ely's 'How to Run a Home Based Jewelry Party Business for Fun and Profit' is one of the most comprehensive resources of its kind that I've come across. It's written in a friendly, easy to read style but is full of very professional and well researched advice.

Although I've been making a living selling my handmade jewelry at parties, and have even published a website with information on this method of selling, I still learned a huge amount. I can't wait to try out some of the new ideas in Lorri's ebook, as I know my business will benefit enormously. And I'll be recommending it to all my website visitors!"

I look forward to seeing more tips in your newsletter. Thanks again. I'm off to a great business!

How To Start Your Own Craft Business

- "I have had several home-based businesses during the past ten or so years and feel confident that I had a good understanding of my new craft business.

It wasn't until I read Chuck Smith's "How to Start Your Own Craft Business" that I realized how little I knew about the craft business. Chuck Smith is able to take complex issues and explain them in an easy and readable way. If you are starting, or thinking of starting, a craft business I recommend this book. It would be a valuable resource at twice the price." Cory McIntyre

Craft Software

Paperwork is another daunting task that Bead Manager Pro has simplified for me. With this software, I can keep customer lists, create invoices, create labels and catalogs of pieces, and even keep track of pieces out on consignment.

I have sworn by it for the last year…it’s one of the best investments I’ve made for my business!”
