I have princess Diana Stamps?

i have three sets of princess diana stamps. bought for 100 dollars one year after she died. would they be worth anything? there in a secure protection collectors case.

Stamps can vary widely in value. Usually with age, they will increase in value. However, the market was flooded with “Diana” stamps and some have actually decreased in value. The only way to be sure is to have them appraised by a professional, http://www.pgacon.com/Selling.htm

Or you can visit a local library and check the Scott Postage Stamp Catalog.

Here’s some links that might help you:

How To Set Your Price and Get It

Here’s a case study in how an art supply company trained me to NEVER pay full price.

People who know me know I’m in Internet shopper and a paper crafter. I’m always feeding my habit of new and different papers, inks, stamps, and embellishments. One business I used to frequent (notice the past tense there) was a paper art supply house that offers many specialty items. But their constant e-mails with constant sales actually cost them a steady customer — me!

Let’s look at why. A while ago, I saved some of their e-mails so that I can show you this company’s fatal error. Take a look at these e-mail titles:

Exclusive 30% Storewide* Savings Holiday Sale – Final 24 Hours (12/8/07)

25% Holiday Savings – Still Time for Delivery by Christmas (12/13/07)

Still Time for 25% Storewide* Savings & Delivery by Christmas (12/18/07)

Year End Inventory Clearance Sale 35% off (12/27/07)

Prices Slashed – up to 50% Storewide Savings (1/3/08

Prices Slashed – up to 50% Storewide Savings (1/6/08)

Embellishments Blow-Out Sale – Save up to 35% Department Wide (1/15/08)

Winter Sale – up to 50% Savings & Free Shipping Offer (1/17/08)

Craft Tools Sale – Save up to 50%* + Free Shipping Offer (1/22/08)

Craft Adhesives Sale – Save up to 50%* + Free Shipping Offer (1/24/08)

Inventory Reduction Sale – up to 50% Savings + Free Shipping Offer (2/10/08)

I actually didn’t list all the e-mails I received during this period of time. But as you can see, they were frequent!

Here’s my question. Should I ever, for any reason, order from this company and pay full price? My answer is – NO! This business has trained me not only wait for a sale, but wait for a super sale with deep discounts and free shipping. The company would probably die to know that they are regularly referred to on paper artist’s chat sites with the comment “oh, just wait, the sale will get better.”

Not only has this business (which is a neat business with lots of goodies for artists) trained me to wait for a GREAT sale, they also have me wondering a few things.

Do they have such a horribly high mark-up that half price is actually what I would pay every day elsewhere? Should I just go shop elsewhere?

Is this company desperate for sales and going down the tubes? Will they ship what they promise quickly?

I don’t know who heads up their marketing, but if I was that person’s boss I would be beating him (or her) with a big stick. WHAT ARE YOU DOING?? You are training every customer on your e-mail distribution list that they should EXPECT to regularly pay less than full price.

Pricing your product and services is part science, part art. You know what your goods cost. If you sell for less than they cost you, you won’t be taking that vacation in Rio anytime soon. That’s the science part – cost out, cost in, total it up.

The art part is harder to quantify but every bit as important. What is the perceived value of what you offer? If you perceive your service as worth $100 per hour and people are snickering behind your back then you’ve got a perceived value problem. On the other hand, I’ve had marketing students price their stuff so low that they will never make a decent income.

Pricing well means that your ego has not inflated what your product or service is worth, you know your costs cold and pay attention to them, you discern a fair price based on customer input, your experience, and demand for what you offer. Make note that if you have to CREATE demand you will not be able to price your product or service as highly as YOU might think it is worth. However, if you price wisely, educate potential customers, and build a business from that base you will one day be able to charge more. Why? Because, you have successfully and faithfully created MORE perceived value.

I realize there are strategies for “loss leaders” and getting people into the marketing funnel. But as a small business you do not have the deep pockets of a Wal-Mart or a Sam’s to offer super-low cost and freebies in order to gain customers. If you decide to do this, be cautious, wise, and infrequent.

Keep in mind that if YOU don’t value what you do, your customers won’t, either! Aim for a fair price, give outstandingly fantastic customer service, work consistently, and your business will grow.

How to Improve Your Memory by Forgetting the Right Things

Back in 1885, the German scientist Hermann Ebbinghaus made the first experimental studies in remembering and forgetting. What he discovered then still holds true today — that using the common method of memorizing, we forget forty percent within twenty minutes and seventy-five percent by the end of the week! Doesn’t it stand to reason, then, that if you are going to bother to learn things once, you might just as well go to a little extra trouble and protect your investment of time? You can do this easily by repeating briefly what you have learned once a day for a week, and then once a week for a month.

There have been men with a genius for memory, but their feats lie entirely outside the experience of us ordinary mortals. Lord Macaulay could memorize entire books at a single reading, Mozart as a boy wrote down the score of an oratorio after hearing it once, and Dumas pere never forgot anything he had read. My course in memory training cannot claim to teach you to duplicate such miracles. It is based simply on the laws of the workings of the minds of normal men, and its success is due to the fact that few people realize the potential powers of their thinking processes.

You and I remember only what we know, and we know only what we remember. The art I can teach you is the ability to use to the best advantage what you know, to be able to draw upon the great storehouse of your memory when you will, at a moment’s notice. The more easily you can accomplish that seeming miracle, the farther and faster you will travel toward your ultimate success in life.

This brings us to our next important consideration: what shall we take the trouble to remember? We know of course that we neither can nor want to remember everything. To make our memories serve us intelligently, we have to be able to choose the things we want to remember and concentrate on developing a selective type of memory. Dr. R. S. Woodworth, of the National Research Council and Columbia University, after testing the memories of countless subjects, has come to two significant conclusions:

1. That everyone has greater power of memory than he imagines.

2. That although intensive training produces great improvement in memory, training does not develop the general faculty of memory, but simply increases the particular kind of memory job that is practiced.

From this you will conclude that to develop your memory in order to increase your personal efficiency you must first choose the kind of remembering on which you want to concentrate. If you learn to memorize poetry effectively, your friends may consider you more cultured and you may get extra enjoyment out of life, but it will not help you to remember the grocery list. Nor will strengthening your memory for geography or history help you to remember names and faces.

To help you decide what kind of memory you yourself want to cultivate, I suggest that you get a piece of paper right now, and write across the top the business or profession in which you are now engaged. Below that write the answers to the following questions. Take your time, thinking about the answers carefully:

1. Do my activities bring me into constant contact with people?

2. Would cultivating a better memory for names and faces pay dividends in my work?

3. Does my work necessitate my knowing many facts and figures?

4. Is a general cultural background of miscellaneous information important in my work?

5. Outside of business, what specific kind of memory would I like to cultivate for my own enjoyment?

6. Based on these questions, what kind of memory should I go about developing first?

By studying your answers thoughtfully, you will have a pretty clear and definite idea of what things you should make an effort to remember, and what you can afford to forget.

A surgeon, for instance, will want to remember the bones and tissues of the body, the kinds of surgical instruments and their uses, the virtues of the drugs and medicines in his materia medica, the history and development of the art of healing, and most of what he has read or learned of the achievements of other medical scientists.

In addition, he will want to retain enough of his nonmedical reading to hold up his head in a general conversation. If he is fortunate enough to have some outside interest, such as collecting stamps or amateur photography, he will want to develop his memory along that line too. He, like all people, will also find it advisable to remember the dates of his wedding anniversary and family birthdays, as well as personal data about his patients and colleagues.

With all this information and more to remember, wouldn’t it be the height of folly for him to waste energy remembering the precise date of Congress’s approval of the act authorizing the Reconstruction Finance Corporation? You agree, of course, that the chances are a thousand to one against a surgeon’s ever requiring such information. On the other hand, a lawyer, a politician, a banker, or an editorial writer might be called upon to produce such an item at a moment’s notice, out of his head. Inability to do so might even appear a serious reflection on his general qualifications.

So by simply going through the questions above, you are on your way to remembering more by allowing yourself to forget the right information.

Start the School Year With Creativity

What kid doesn’t like cutting up paper, peeling off stickers, or stamping? Students of any age and ability level love every opportunity to work with art supplies. For this school year, try channeling some of your child’s creative energy into scrapbooking and paper crafts. Scrapbooking is a great way to spend time with your children, share a favorite hobby, and reinforce skills learned in school without them realizing it. Scrap Chic Boutique, (www.scrapchicboutique.com), located in Decatur, Georgia, offers classes and individual assistance on your paper crafting projects.

Typically, we think of scrapbooking as a way to preserve memories and tell stories through the use of photographs. However, with the variety of supplies and tools available in today’s scrapbook market, the possibilities are endless. Below is a list of ideas that will allow your young scholar use imagination and develop their academic skills. These projects may be especially useful for kids with special needs.

1. At any grade and ability level, students must learn vocabulary words whether they are matching pictures, spelling words, or learning definitions. Unique vocabulary cards can be a breeze to make, especially with die cutting tools in shapes of circles, tags, stars, and more. Each set of words can be on a different color of cardstock or in a different shape; then, use a D-Ring and hole punch to clip them together.

2. Kids need notebooks for every subject. Why not start the year by decorating the front of the notebooks using colorful patterned papers and stickers? It’s not a guarantee, but your child is less likely to lose something that they have invested time in making- and if they do misplace it, a decorated notebook is much easier to find in the lost and found stack!

3.Do you dread helping your child with their poster board project? Ask the teacher if the project can be modified. Rather than completing a project on poster board which may be too big of a space, they might complete several pages in an 12 by 12 album to display their knowledge of the topic. Ask your local scrapbook store about ways to make unique stickers- this way you can take any topic and make stickers from clip art or die cuts.

4. Celebrate success all throughout the year. Use an album with at least 10 pages- one for each month of the school year. Together, you and your child can decide what important lesson, event, or accomplishment to highlight on the page. Take pictures of completed projects, good test scores, friendships made, positive notes from the teachers, or school events. Important Tip: Leave a space for your kids to journal; it will be interesting to watch how their handwriting changes from August to May!

The ideas presented can be modified for specific needs or learning outcomes. For specific questions, you can e-mail info@scrapchicboutique.com or see the calendar of events at www.scrapchicboutique.com. Learning is about remembering- use scrapbooking to engage your child in “The Art of Remembering”- the results will last a lifetime.
