Cash gifts for New Year's


One of my customers was telling me that she is giving Foldin’ Money Stars to all of her New Years party guests as a party favor. What a great idea and, of course, she’s making them herself from the kits!! A Shirt or Cake could be decorated in a New Years theme, with things like Fire works, 2009 letters, or Happy New Year confetti which would make for a very festive design. Remember that the Chinese say Money is the best thing to give someone on New Years because it brings good luck and good health throughout the rest of the year. China is not the only culture that believes this (the Middle East, Africa, and other Asian cultures) so it must be true. If you’re going to give cash make sure you do it the Foldin’ Money Way! Happy foldin and Happy New Year to all of you!

Timing Is Everything

Inventions are wondrous things! But timing is the key element to successful launching of said invention! Retail sales of a new product takes time, timing and investment. Putting together a new product is so much fun and while your in the process, dollar signs dance in your eyes. Then reality hits you square in the face and you learn that if your product is at all related to a holiday, you should have been in the market a year ago to be able to sell in the current holiday season.

All is not lost however, you just need to be able to hang on to that enthusiasm and hit the trade shows which will be my next adventure. Stay tuned for more entries about the Foldin’ Money travels into the trade show seen!!

And Merry Christmas and a Happy and Prosperous New Year to all of you!

Hard times are a craft givers paradise!



I was watching the news last night on Channel 5 News; they had a story about the hard times in the economy and people making their Christmas presents this year. So I wanted to remind all of you that for a small investment you could give Foldin Money gifts to all the people on your list. To be clear, you can purchase all three kits for about 45 bucks on amazon.com and for an additional 30 dollars in “ones” you can build six unique presents. Once you fold them, the fun begins, decorate them with fabric, stickers, and other scrapbooking materials. Make sure to use double stick tape or something like rubber cement for easy removal. Give the gift of cash with a touch of class the Foldin Money way this year.
