This is a difficult one Lady-Jane and one I struggle with.  Sell a card and you will always think, could I have charged a bit more.  Have a card left and think, is it too dear.  I do try to roughly work out what the card has actually cost me to make to make sure I cover what I've spent.  Must admit I've under charged on odd cards here and there as I didn't think I would get the full cost, but of course there are other cards that I can make up that difference with.  I suppose it's really just a question of playing it by ear.  Price up at what you are happy to accept.  The main thing is that none of us will ever be millionaires from this hobby. As long as you are happy making cards  that's the important thing.  Extra cash along the way is a bonus.[/color]

The way I think is if you sell and make enough to cover your costs and a wee bit more, you can buy more goodies on this site!!!
