As many of you know I make purses out of leather bound books. So far <a href="http://smartgirl.me/">SmartGirl.me</a> brings the visitor to a landing page that will bring the shopper to my <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/SmartGirlme?ref=si_shop" target="_blank">etsy store</a>. I've done well with it over the years and I find <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/SmartGirlme?ref=si_shop" target="_blank">etsy.com</a> to be user friendly. It is easy for the customer to make a purchase, it streamlines my accounting and shipping and the cost to list the book purses are minimal. The problem is that, over the years other craftsmen who visit <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/SmartGirlme?ref=si_shop">etsy.com</a> started making book purses and now you can purchase a book purse for as little as 50.00. <a href="http://smartgirl.me/">SmartGirl.me</a> is leading customers to other sellers. A little competition is good but the quality and standards are vastly different. The <a href="http://smartgirl.me/">SmartGirl.me</a> book purses I make, are by far superior because of the high quality materials I use and the way I make them. I spend a lot of time searching for interesting fabrics and trims and most important I am meticulous so my SmartGirl.me Book Purses are made to last.<br />
<br />
I will be spending the next couple of weeks working on this. I cannot wait to share. <br />

<br />
Some of you might remember the last time I designed a <a href="http://smartgirlsart.blogspot.com/2010/07/my-smartgirlme-workspace.html">workspace</a> to create my SmartGirl Book Purses. I took over my daughter's playroom and made myself a great working environment. Well at least I thought it was. After spending countless hours on Pinterest decorating my daughter's bedroom and bathroom, I came across this<a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/287245282452759954/"> pin</a> that spoke to me. The caption read "I must get rid of the primary colors." <br />

Using the pictures of the one I made for a client. I figured I better get started on making one in case some one orders it. I go on line to order the book and it is no longer in print. Not only is it not available but there are no used ones out there since it was a new limited Barns and Noble Leather Bound Classic. If I want to purchase from <a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=350348828312&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT">ebay</a> and buy it within a collection or buy it from a private seller it will cost me at least 80.00 plus shipping. Wow...I could never spend that kind of money on a book I plan to alter. Or I would have to sell it for a lot more...wait a minute, I can do that!<br />

I cannot believe it sold so fast. I'm excited because my orders usually come from word of mouth. This is my first Esty sale.Now I have to make another stat. I think I am going to make two of them so that I have an extra one to sell.<br />

Tonight I am working on a new one...Wicked Son of a Witch. It's going to make a great SmartGirl Purse.<br />
