I do print the poem on a label. If I have them in the house, I use the 6 to a page shipping labels (can't recall the number), because then there's lots of room under the poem for my info. If I don't have those, I use the 10 to a page address labels (again, no number, sorry).buckeyefan08 said:
When I work a fair, I use my oldest catalogs first, since they're already the most out of date and then they aren't even worse at the next fair. I had a LOT left from a couple of years back, and I think there were a couple of events last year when I was handing out 18-month old catalogs. But even with the changeover that we have in the line, most of the core items are the same and people can still get a really good idea of the products we offer.
