Topic: TRY, TRY AGAIN
Well, I got the quote from the printers today-and YES-I DO have expensive taste. The cards as I have them in full on technicolor will run me pretty close to the exact amount of the IDA-(and I did not even reveal how much I was getting!) I'm good at that. You can ask Baboo how often I go to the grocery store and spend within a dollar or two what I have on me. I think it has something to do with being a tipped employee for so long, and having small amounts of cash every day instead of two lump sums per month. You learn exactly how much money can('t!) buy! (All KNEEL and pay tribute to the Goodwill Goddess)
I proceeded to figure out a solution for the cards without compromising too much of the design, and I figured out how to save about $2k simply by using all one color ink, and 4 basic colors of paper for the outer jackets-it is worth the compromise.
I also have an ace up my sleeve...they want to charge me $720 to typeset the cards. Because I am a Saturday Market Member, I have available to me, for FREE, a person who will help me design business cards, and signs to be print ready...perhaps she would also help me typeset these, so they will be print ready!!! I could probably even kick her down some grant cash to help the market too!!! It's a WIN-WIN-WIN. HHHMMMMMMM...
I am going to talk to the printer about paper choices later this week-I also want business cards, and logo-head stationary for the readings. Throw in a bunch of prints, and off we go. There are only three Saturdays between me and Opening Day of Saturday Market...and my IDA has not officially been approved and released yet...I do like a good nail-biter! All hail the Patron Saints of Paperwork!!
