They go out and buy tissue paper in stead of waiting to do that bit after they have an opportunity to get some for free (birthday presents! Lol). <br />I can't blame anyone, I just don't have extra cash to throw at this hobby. I'm a scrounger :PAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08059251480205745682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7309827539190193411.post-3268013398341065642018-03-25T15:55:10.700+01:002018-03-25T15:55:10.700+01:00This is why we buy cheap toys for kids, but make (...This is why we buy cheap toys for kids, but make (or occasionally buy) expensive toys for ourselves. <br />Maria Nikolajevahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14554093780864419960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7309827539190193411.post-83598587750334888882018-03-25T14:16:52.835+01:002018-03-25T14:16:52.835+01:00I totally agree with you regarding effort.

Each page has taken literally days to make.

I enjoy selling minis sometimes as a hobby, but learned long ago the most I can hope for is to help offset the costs on my crafts supply buying habit a bit (haha), and to have an excuse to make things (besides for gifts and for myself).
