Thanks Rach. I'd first piped the writing on freehand but it didn't look right so I redid it with the stencils. Glad I did!

Hi Marjorie,
She never got back to me which in a way is a good thing because I'm doing so many at the moment. I have a week's break and am absolutely loving it! My to do list is really getting long because I can only really make cakes in the evenings and weekends and it certainly takes up most of my free time.

Wow Rach, you really are going to be busy!!
I've just done a cake for a raffle for BBC children in need. Now after me just saying how much I'm going to enjoy my week off cake making, someone has just phoned and ordered a cake!! I felt a bit sorry for her because a family member was going to make the cake and they've been sick so can't do it. I've dropped my price and will probably only make about 8 pounds profit but I don't mind. I've got another fairy house next week and one definite christening cake the same weekend. I had another phone call tonight about a christening cake so I'll see if I get that one tomorrow. I'm hoping to not take any more orders after the 15th Dec but it's always so different when I'm on the phone!

a few have been from a leaflet which someone else made advertising their business. they asked if i wanted to appear on the first leaflet, along with a few others, because they thought people are more likely to keep a leaflet with more info on rather than just one advertiser which would go straight in the bin. i don't really agree with her but nevertheless, i've got a couple of orders through that. i'll do my own leaflets next year if I feel I need more business. at the moment i'm just too busy to take on any more.

thats great well done...I have my regulars but I think I have relied too much on them and with everything else going on I havent bothered with any advertising ..just word of mouth but I think I will have to do a little bitnext year just to let people know I am still around...lol....
