Promo notes

Locket will contain: micro book charm horse charm faith charm 3 sapphire hearts 3 aqua hearts 2 light blue hearts 2 green hearts 1 crystal dangle Total cost: $2.95 ea I will have enough supplies for 10 lockets. I will have enough lockets to make 10 more non-PotH ones; but if I order 20 more I will then have enough for 10 BA, 10 SotG, and 10 more POTH. Will need more charms (feather and crown for SotG, compass and skull for BA) and probably some more hearts, but will have enough dangles. But, If I buy my own books to sell at $10 each, and then sell them for $15 ($5 profit each) and give away a $3 locket, my actual profit becomes $2 per book sold. If I sell 20 books, I make $40. So I should sell the lockets themselves for $5. Buy two, get locket for $1; buy three, get locket free. Book charms, however, cost about $.15 to make and will give them away for free with book purchase. Book charms should come with a "merryshannon.com" tag. Book charms @ Pride will not have extra crystal dangle. Book charms @ book events will.
