I'm toying with a bunch of ideas for jobs that I can do at home that will be on my own hours. I love making scrapbooks and I've been reading up a lot on people who create scrapbooks for others (with the customer's pictures). They can be a bit pricey. Do you think there's a market for this in the frum (NY) community? I'm willing to spread out and work with non jews but I was just curious if you thought it might catch on with frum people first. Thanks!

Wow I think it's such a good idea. If people in Brooklyn have no problem spending over $100 on a cake that gets thrown out then why wouldn't they spend some money on a memory that will last a lifetime. I wish I lived in NY.

There is someone here in Melbourne who runs classes for scrapbooking.

There's a market for sure! Go for it. Just an idea - Remember how kosher by design the cookbook started? She put samples and postcards flyers in doctors offices that are frequented by frum people. Make a few samples books, like put upsherin or bas mitzvah book by pediatricians and baby book by obgyns and such for example. Shouldn't be too hard to get permission.

there are websites that u can send ur scrapbook images to and they can turn them into photo-page albums so its a better quality gift.
