ET Craftz!

ET Craftz! Out of this world, is a creative mini-company that makes unique, hand-
made cards and Hama bead creations. Tolayo is the manager of the company,
Emmeline is Production manager and Bianca is Sales and Marketing Manager.
We took orders from students in the school room and we had a great response.
We went to Moynehall for the Christmas Fair. Everyone had a really good time
and about 50% of our sales were
made in that craft fair. Then we did a Christmas fair in our
school and that went really good as well.
We had 2 mini-company competitions to do, Cavan
Enterprise and Junior Achievement. We had a blast
preparing for each one and doing up presentations and
for us it was an awesome learning experience. We were
very proud to get into the top 11 companies out of 71 in
the Cavan/Monaghan regions.
I really liked the mini-company this year. It was something
I’d never done before and I really enjoyed managing this
company.
