I've seen a few great stories but I was personally touched when a customer who I did some custom work for included a $20 tip for me. She said I didn't charge her enough and that she was appreciative of the work I did for her and that one time a customer of hers gave her a tip and how it meant so much to her she couldn't wait to do it for someone else.

It inspired me so I found some people on the team boards who were having a rough time getting started and I created free graphics for their shops. One woman replied "WOW, I think im going to cry, what a lovely thing to do, thank you so very much." it felt great and I'm looking forward to helping more people out in the near future.

I loved the story posted in this team, like a month ago or so, about the bedding set for a newborn baby.

Will try to find it, anyone can help?

wow, caitlin,the story of tips is really nice. it is touching...
I'm struggling of selling because I need to make a living on it, I wonder if there is any IT skills we can use to promote ,to bring more exposure?! I found many seller has great product but didn't sell much,,, some seller have ok product but sell like crazy in a short time.
pity I can't use twitter and facebook very well, cause it was blocked, I have trouble accessing them...do you think that's where it brings the most exposure?
I wish I can find out the secret of that!:)

Many people who are healing from cancer and other life events are attracted to my wares - I can see how my Goddess sculptures, Buddha and Nature images and RioSage would attract people who are trying to heal in their lives.
I am a healer in another vocation, and I naturally transmit healing energy to my items.
More than once, I have received "love letters" toward items like "Buddha Garden" , Infinity Goddess or Buddha Cat where the person stated he or she felt healing energy transmitting through to them by seeing the image over the internet.
I feel so touched by the stories of what these people are going through and blessed that I might be able to provide them with something that makes them feel better.
More than one person told me "I just know that waking up every morning and being about to look at the Buddha Garden on my wall will help me heal"
I am especially touched when someone shares she just went through a harrowing cancer treatment and it helped her feel better.

A seller I've bought from before made an image up for some labels for me today that goes with my banner etc, she only charged $5 and I've been trying to think of a way to get her to take another $10, as she has been great, but it's prooving difficult lol.

Also a little girl from the US a weeks ago desperately wanted a necklace of mine, as it reminded her of her aunt, but her dad couldn't afford it,(he lost his job etc) and after hearing the story I ended up sending it to her for free and paid the postage lol.
