I turned up for my interviewing looking great, I was chatty, full of good ideas and they said wow to my display after 1 and a half hours I left feeling very confident and happy. Yesterday was the longest of days,waiting for a phone call, at nearly 8pm it came," the standard was so high and you where in the top 3 ...but sorry unsuccessful this time". This would have been the perfect job for me, I feel numb , no tears just numb....any ideas ,my cards sell for about £2-£3 pounds each so I'm hardly going to be rich crafting for a living!
I can't stop making Christmas cards,at this rate I'll have mine made by the end of the month. I'm still trying to keep to a traditional/vintage look. No image for this card, very unlike me , but the poinsettia is so striking in it's own right I felt this red and gold foiled sentiment was enough.
The flower is made from a Marianne design die, I've cut red and gold petals , fixed with a large gem brad and added some gold beading from the ribbon box.
The papers are do craft basic, vintage and the lace, nearly at the end of this now, is from hobby craft.

I'm so sorry the job didn't come right for you Jane. A big let down after you know you had done so well at the the interview. No you won't make a fortune selling cards - but at least you are selling some and not having them build up in boxes in the wardrobe.lol
This 'traditional' style card is great - the poinsettia says it all and I know whoever gets it will appreciate it.

Gorgeous card Jane. I love the colours and papers and fab poinsettia die.
I'm so sorry to hear about the job, if it wasn't meant to be then it's because there something much better waiting for you! Keep smiling.
I've just lost my job after 20 years with the same company so I know how you feel!

Absolutely stunning Jane - you're definitely on a roll with your Christmas cards, wish I was!
I'm sure the right job will come along. I know how it feels though; when Dave was out of work I thought he'd never get another job. Chin up love!
