Hi Ms. Murillo
We got your fun book , D.I.Y. Stylebook--from the library. We haven't done very much, but there sure are a lot of fun looking projects. My daughter and I hope to spend a little time at our local farmer's market this summer. We've got lots of blackberries, and I hope to make some nice cards out of some photos of our island (Whidbey Island, WA). I read the copyright on the cover of your book, and I realize I can reporduce anypart of the book, which I would not anyway,  But if we make some of the things from the book, are we allowed to sell those? Sam (my daughter) likes the lip gloss and the glitter powder, I'd like to try the soap, although the molds I've found aren't as cool and simple as you're straight bublegum blocks, and they didn't have bubblegum scent, which is what I thought was the coolest part of the project. She made a little of the gloss and will put a little more glitter and color in it next time. I tried the olive oil sea salt scrub on my feet today, and I can't stop looking and touching them--they are quite soft--I think it took at least ten years off my old worn heels. We didn't have any essential peppermint oil, so we used extract--worked swell. Thought I might try some lavender in some.  Anyway, I'm not sure if we will be ambitious enough to make enough to sell (as we really aren't what you'd call "crafty divas") anything we make, but if we are, are we allowed to? Please advise.
Thanks
Andi

Hi Andi!

Thank you so much for writing! And feel free, just do something to make them your own. I hope you do really well, I'm honored you like the projects that much! Here are some tips for selling:

- Make some fun,  personalized labels for your products. It makes them look more professional and people like that!
- If you can, wear some of the pieces you make. It will show to people that you love and believe in the things you make.

Best of luck, and don't forget, I have a NEW Crafty Diva book coming out this June!
"The Crafty Diva's Lifestyle Makeover : Awesome Ideas to Spice Up Your Life". It's up for pre-order on Amazon!


Love and glitter,
Kathy ;-)
