Kim,

    Your sister-in-law takes the prize for "chutzpah". I suggest that
    you need to set clear boundaries with friends and family. Let them
    know in a polite way that you are a professional and that your time
    and materials have value and that you cannot afford to give them
    away. You could offer them a discount off your normal retail price.
    You have to be comfortable with the amount of the discount or you
    will begin to be resentful. I think that most reasonable friends and
    relatives can respect that. If they can't they are disrespecting you.
    You don't need that. 

Joel
