    Default Easter Banners

    I've been busy working for the Lord today-- sure wish he paid better!! I severely under priced these but what do you do when the ladies provide beatifully sewn banners & empty pockets..Although I haven't spent as much time as you would usually. I've taken them just past the quick sketch stage by adding color, but now for the price it's time for me to stop..I'll add a few more stars, clean up Jesus's hands, pull the tape around the edges, & call them done.. The 1st. picture shows the example the ladies brought to me.. I promised faithfully that the banners would look exactly like the sample--I strayed a little & the 2nd. picture is what I will deliver Fri. morning just in time for Good Friday services..$75. @-- what a deal!!

    Great looking banners, miss Darla. What size are they? If you don't mind me asking.

    Those are simply beautiful. You have given them so much depth with a few well thought out strokes. How big are these banners?

    Very nice, Darla! I have said it before, and I will say it again (and probably again several more times!); your lettering really kicks a$$!

    Thank you for the lovely compliments..the banners are 34 inches wide by 6 feet tall..I've pulled the tape from around the edges & it cleaned them up so pretty..I might not do any more at all to them, as while I was working on them I was falling behind on my other work..It's a good helmet week & they're turning out so cute too..this is Thur. already & I'm in my crunch mode now!! I don't know where the time goes?? There's no way I can work any harder.. If I am to raise my grosses the only option I have is to raise my prices..I'm almost unable to price anything now, & I'm better off to leave that up to my helper or to my husband--they try so hard to take care of me..I price things much too cheap , just because you might have pretty blue eyes, & of course a smile gets a few dollars knocked off..it's crazy!! & that was one of my New Years resolutions too..Price HIGH & come down if you need to..that's my lesson today!! I'm not sure what the girls will think??-- they sure had their hearts set on the original design..They'll just have to get over it, cause that's not going to happen!!..

    well Darla, if they don't like them then they are not very God Like. They are beautiful and have such a warmer feeling about them then the dull boring reference pictures they gave you... and it is good to hear that you are doing so well right now. For all you do here, you deserver the business flowing your way.
