Little Peanuts Focus Group

😅🤣😂 I mean HELLO! I have some very opinionated Peanuts here so WHO BETTER to ask!?!?! 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 Dusting Off Old Posts So Google Notices Me Again

You know that awkward moment when you run into someone you used to talk to every day and they clearly don’t remember your name? That’s basically my relationship with Google right now. So I’m fixing it. 🧹

Lately, I’ve been wandering through my older blog posts like a librarian with a red pen, updating headlines, polishing keywords, and gently reminding Google that yes, I’m still here and still weirdly productive. Updating old posts for SEO is like changing the batteries in your smoke detector. Nothing flashy, but suddenly everything works better.

I’m tightening things up, adding clearer headings, improving readability, and sprinkling in relevant links where they actually make sense. Not keyword soup. Not robotic nonsense. Just good content wearing better shoes.

Speaking of links, if you’re curious why this matters, Google itself has a surprisingly helpful guide on how search works. It’s worth a peek if you like knowing how the internet’s brain ticks.

And while you’re clicking around, this is also me casually pointing you to an internal post or two that needed a glow-up anyway. Old posts deserve love. And traffic. Mostly traffic.

Oh, and if you spot mentions of my monthly $50 Your Way giveaway, that’s not an accident. You’ll find that happy little temptation living in the sidebar. PayPal, Venmo, or gift card. Your choice. Every month. 🎉

So if things look a bit fresher around here, that’s me courting Google with better SEO and a side of charm. Wish me luck. And maybe click something while you’re here.

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

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!

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.

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!
