Although my main interest is wicca, I do make my own handcrafted cards. I had a small business and it was doing really well until card manufactures decided to add 3d motifs and call them handfinished cards. They out priced my cards because they could obviously make them in bulk and sell them so much cheaper. So I had to fold my business.

I worked really hard and used so much of my own money because there was no available finance from any source to back me, so I wasn't earning enough to keep it going.
