hi everyone- I have not had the opportunity to read if anyone has had a business like mine making souvenirs for the tourists trade. I was able to stay at home with my kids when they were small and I worked from home. I started making small wood novelties for gift shops. I grew to the point where I needed an extra painter and wood cutter to help me. I also hired a rep to sell for me and they took a cut of the profit. Yes, it took some organization and I was practically mass producing. It did bring the money in though! If anyone is interested in this type of woodworking - feel free to ask me-
