Tag Books (Bible Verses)


Here are the tag books I've been working on for my mom in law. She saw pictures of one I'd made for a friend to encourage her through a rough patch with Bible verses, and she asked me if I'd make some for her Bible study with verses pertaining to the "Fruit of the Spirit" study she was in. She paid me to make 20 of them - how do you figure out how much they're worth when you're asked. She asked me (and isn't it awkward- especially with your mom in law....) what I would charge, so I told her what I thought the basic supplies would cost, I didn't want to take advantage of her. I said because of the time involved, I couldn't really charge less than 3 dollars.. She said she would pay me more than that, and that she felt like she was taking advantage of me by only paying 5 each. So in hindsight, 20 is a lot to make!!!! I am done with them, finally, as in "Stick me with a fork I am DONE!", but I'm relatively pleased with the result.... have I mentioned I'm done?! Yay :)

  2. I'm so glad you like yours Callie :), I think I need to make one for myself with those verses that I used for yours, because I know they hold such comfort and strength for me, I need to have them all in a little compact place to check out. These little mini albums are perfect for verses. I'm glad you are encouraged by your little tag book, that was the intention. :)
