Not sure what this is called or if something is possible but I would love something to keep the store key tag cards together and under control on my key ring. I found some plastic thing but it was awkward and heavy. I hope you know what I am talking about - grocery stores have them for the sale prices and other stores to track purchases for rewards. The key ring ones are convenient but always in the way. I had a thought on one that I was going to try to make but my life is just too crazy busy right now.
I was at my Cardsmart store and found Buxton is making a little leather carrier for those keytags, and it is also a keychain. I make acrylic keytags to match my VB purses and use them just for the keytags. I never carry them on my regular keychain with keys.
Sometime ago someone locally had lost their keys with the tags on them, and the finder called on of the stores from the tags and was given the address to return them, and low and behold the house got robbed. Newspaper stated to not keep them together, and now the local stores have changed their policy and do not give out any info regarding the keytags. All stores now have a privacy policy regarding the tags.
I'm probably not the best person to answer this because I don't buy anything really that's handmade. Not because I'm a snob or something, it's just cause I'm a 29 year old guy that doesn't really buy things that are hand made. But if your looking to start selling whatever you make on your website, you should list your ?product? on ebay and esty.com. Esty.com is just like Ebay but with handmade stuff.

Thanks. I will have to try and find that. It would be nice to have something easily detach from the keychain. Fortunately I have never lost my keys or purse. Locked my keys in my car with it running a few times but never lost them. But good to know stores don't give out that info.
I will wait until 3:00 PST, 6/25/11 and on that date hold a drawing for the free Kindle cover. My impartial husband will assist me by drawing a name. I will post the winner here after the drawing. So, keep the ideas coming. I'm also including a new business name in the contest. Give me your best business name for my new business along with your craft ideas. Multiple posts by the same person counts as multiple entries.
I'm thinking of..."Coyl's Crafts & Creations"...what do you think?
I like "Coyl's Crafts & Creations"...thanks Maries. One of the men here said not to make it a feminine sounding name or the men might not go there to look. Using the family name is non-threatening to the men on this board. They could feel safe in going to my site and not be scared off.
I've been looking at all sorts of designs and patterns (based a lot on what I read here) and have found some great project patterns that I've ordered CD's for. They are Anita Goodesign exclusives. Of course, they will be personalized when I do the projects. Of course, all of you will be invited to view my "Grand Opening" on my web site when I get enough products made to start selling on line. The CD's have a lot of the projects everyone has mentioned here so far. I'm really excited to get started when the designs arrive.
While I like "Coyl's Crafts & Creations," I ultimately vote for "Coyl's Custom Creations." Sound a bit smoother when you say it aloud, and some (many?) men may think "Crafts" is a woman's thing and not bother to look at your beautiful creations. And, after, all they are definitely "custom" creations. Good luck with whatever you decide. Sounds like you have many great, creative suggestions to start working on.
Holly, I searched the internet for a pattern and found many already made that were on sale by different venders but no patterns. Can you point me to a pattern site for a Jacob's Ladder Wallet? What is yours made from? The internet has them made from everything under the sun. If you can find it, please post it here and I'll try the pattern. I'll keep looking.
