Little Peanuts Focus Group
😅🤣😂 I mean HELLO! I have some very opinionated Peanuts here so WHO BETTER to be part of my focus group!?!?! Right?!?! Right!! All I ask is don’t be mean. I get my feelings hurt easily.
Most of you know I make crafts during the year to sell at the Christmas Craft Fair here in Sandpoint, Idaho. I try and make things that I hope will sell, but every year it’s different. What sold the 1st year (t-shirts) sold out. The next year I made extra and sold none.
As I get ready to make things I want to ask opinions. Design good? Design needs work. Is this something you think would sell?
My friend Penny asked if I could make a Bunco themed coaster. I started to think maybe ornaments too?
I’ve never played Bunco, so I need opinions and/or ideas. Y’all think coasters and ornaments would sell?
Here are a couple of AI generated ideas for coasters (maybe ornaments)
What other elements would you add to the design? Since I don’t play Bunco…… how many coasters would you include in a set?
I am open to ideas! What items draw you in at Craft Fairs?
Thank you Little Peanuts!

I’m Refreshing My Blog (and Exorcising Some Digital Ghosts)
Updating old blog content is like digital archaeology—except I’ve unearthed a full-on resident spirit: The Ghost of Peanut Butter and Whine.
This digital poltergeist has been causing absolute chaos behind the scenes. If things look a little haunted around here, here is the proof:
- The Vanishing Act: The ghost keeps deleting my best images and video tutorials, leaving behind sad, empty boxes.
- The Link Graveyard: It’s been sneakily stripping away my trusted brand partners and replacing them with sketchy “AI Crypto” links.
- Font Sabotage: Apparently trapped in 2001, it keeps reverting my clean layout back to “Geocities-era” antique fonts.
My 2026 Blog Refresh Plan
To banish these spirits and keep my traffic climbing, I’m launching a step-by-step exorcism plan:
- Exorcise the 404s: Running a broken link checker to track down every dead end and missing image.
- Modernize Recommendations: Swapping out outdated products for my absolute 2026 essentials.
- SEO Deep Clean: Refreshing metadata and strategically placing focus keywords.
Stick Around Please!
Don’t let this be a “one and done” visit. While I’m cleaning house and banishing spirits, check out these (very much alive) links:
Winner Winner Chicken Dinner: Check out the sidebar for my current giveaway. I promise this one is fully alive, kicking, and ghost-free!
Earn Cash: Some things never go out of style. Rakuten still pays you to shop, and in this economy, who is turning down free money?
Hey, while you are here you could shop through my link on Amazon, or Walmart.

Very cute! I have never heard of Bunco, so im not certain on how it’s played to give great input – the one with the colorful circle and 4 dice caught my eye. I also like the first with the gals as it’s more personalized

Never heard of this game before, but it sounds like fun.

Ive never played Bunco either but Ive seen it played on orange county housewives tv show! For a coaster set i would put 6 coasters in it. When i used to go to craft fairs i always bought tshirts and sticker and magnet grab bags. I like the top 2 designs the best!
aminah

Oh, my gosh I haven’t played Bunco in many years…loved playing it! The ornaments would be a cute idea to give to your Bunco Group for a Christmas gift! Being homemade is more special!

Coasters are a good idea, I think you can’t go wrong with sets of 4. I’ve never heard of Bunco, though. I’ve had duds for donating things at craft fairs that the proceeds will be used to help the less fortunate. I thought aprons would be a hit, and esp cuties. But nobody bought any, and they were giveaway price a couple of dollars. So it is hard to say, but I’d guess funny things that aren’t too expensive.

I like to buy lower priced, simpler items when I am new to certain items, to see how much I like them before I invest more. I like items, like magnetic clasps, that make life easier. Unfamiliar with this game.

I played Bunco way way way back in the day. To be honest I forgot how to play. I do remember the group that I play with was a much older crowd. I remember I won one time and got the gift so that was fun. It depends on the age group that goes to the Christmas Craft Fair as to how many items I would make. I would make a coaster set of 4-8. Bunco is usually played by 12 people divided into 3 tables (4 people per table). I will have to think on what items would sell this year. I love the items that you show. I think the tumblers are a great idea and yours are too funny.

Thank you Heather!! That helps a LOT!!!

I think the one that shows the ladies being their nutty selves would go over well, lol. I don’t play Bunco, either, but I know a few who do and they seem to embrace the crazy! Kind of like people who go bonkers for Bingo nights. Oh, you should use your new laser toy to create Christmas ornaments this year!
Connie: The Head Peanut
Tamra, I LOVE YOU!!! Thank you!!
