Close to Christmas

I’m a crafter, I love to make gifts which all my family knows, much to their chagrin. Every year I make at least one gift for one person, not all of them so well received. So the year I announced I made gifts for everyone, there was a palpable gasp in the air!

Little did they know I had been working on patterns for a company that would become known as Foldin’ Money. My favorite design is and was the Tree! So that year they all got $25 Trees all decorated up for the holidays! No one returned them or complained about them at all, all smiling faces! What a great feeling and I had fun to boot!

Ode to Father’s Day

Ever wonder how Father’s Day came to be? Here’s an article I found and the link to that website. Remember, your Dad has enough stuff, honor him this year by giving him a Foldin’ Money Tie or Shirt. Recyclable and Spendable! He’ll LOVE it!!

Father's Day is celebrated popularly on 3rd Sunday in June in many parts of the world. The idea for creating a day for children to honor their fathers began in Spokane, Washington. A woman by the name of Sonora Smart Dodd thought of the idea for Father's Day while listening to a Mother's Day sermon in 1909. Having been raised by her father, Henry Jackson Smart, after her mother died, Sonora wanted her father to know how special he was to her. It was her father that made all the parental sacrifices and was, in the eyes of his daughter, a courageous, selfless, and loving man. Sonora's father was born in June, so she chose to hold the first Father's Day celebration in Spokane, Washington on the 19th of June, 1910.

In 1924 President Calvin Coolidge proclaimed the third Sunday in June as Father's Day. President Nixon, in 1972, established a permanent national observance of Father's Day to be held on the third Sunday of June. So Father's Day was born as a token of love and gratitude that a daughter cherishes for her beloved father. Roses are the Father's Day flowers: red to be worn for a living father and white if the father has died.

Giving cash is not tacky any more!

Top 5 reasons to give cash as a gift:
Money is universal everyone needs more of it (not stuff)
Money does not expire or perish (gift cards or food)
Money is useful and un-limiting they can buy what they want or need
Money as a gift is more memorable then you’d think
Money is a no hassle, no worries idea because it cross culture, non religious, and all inclusive.
Some people would say money as a gift is tacky or not classy; this is not on trial today. There are many great solutions for giving cash in a personal way. My favorite is when you pair cash with a Foldin’ Money Design Kit you will see how personal giving cash really can be. These designs can be decorated to suite any occasion; they ship flat, and are absolutely unforgettable.

Ban Black Friday from your life!!

If you are like me, NOT a fan of crowds, why put yourself in the position of being part of the mob? You just know you won’t find the right item for everyone on your list, your feet will be tired and sore and you will be exhausted! Just order Foldin’ Money kits, go to the bank, get some cash and stop for a nice bottle of wine. Then go home, pour yourself some wine, sit back and make your gifts with the cash and kits. Then you can decorate the finished designs however you want them. Everyone will love these gifts and USE them. After everything is unwrapped, there will be no hassles with returns, I’ve never had one returned to me yet!!

But who needs more stuff?

If you go to this link, it will tell you the homemade gifts are the best, and they truly are, we agree. However, don't most of us have enough stuff? Gidgets and gadgets are fine, but I think most of us could use more Foldin' Money, don't you? I know this is a little commerical on my part, but I do believe in my product and feel the world would be a better place if more money was spread around! With Foldin' Money design kits, the gift is homemade, but you can use it right away, not store it away in a closet and only pull it out when Aunt Millie comes to visit! Anyway, try Foldin' Money for all your gift giving this holiday and see if it doesn't make your holiday season a little less hectic and a whole lot more fun!

QVC !

Have you ever purchased a product on QVC and wondered how that product got there? I know I did. Before I became a manufacturer of my unique Money-gami craft gift kits, it was a mystery to me. It still is, but the key is to find the right person to guide your product through all the channels. That search has taken at least a year. We are hopeful that we have found that person and we will appear on the great Shopping channel one day soon, stay tuned!!
