Update!

It's been awhile, so i thought i should post and let ya know what i have been doing!

I have been busy making Valentine's Day cards, Birthday cards and cleaning house, so i haven't been getting much done business wise. I have been reading a book on Feng Shui and trying to incorporate it into my home to see if it helps. So, i have been going thru everything and getting rid of things we don't use or need anymore... getting rid of "someday" clothes... (clothes that i plan on wearing or just don't want to get rid of cuz they are cute but i don't wear em... or clothes that i have saved of Madi's that we don't need to save). I also read somewhere that if you get rid of 50 things that you don't need anymore that it clears your mind. I can't remember where i read it but i figure why not try it out! :)

I have been making lil doll-sized scarves for craft shows and my Etsy store... (i haven't posted anything on the Etsy site yet but i hope to get internet back soon so i can do it!) Madi loves them... she had me make a bunch for her lil stuffed kitties and Build-A-Bear animals and dolls. I figure if she likes them, other little girls will, so i am going to make a bunch of different colors and lengths for them to choose from and if they want i can take special orders to make a matching scarf for their little girl! :) i'm excited! They are super fast and easy for me to do so i can make a whole bunch in one night if i sit down and don't do anything else.

Next step i hope to accomplish within the next couple weeks is getting business cards designed and ordered. My mom and i are going to sit down and design them together so they reflect both of our tastes and we can get both of ours ordered at one shot. I will send them out with cards and RAKS and such to people to get the word out (if they aren't seeing it here already) and placing them at random business locations.

I hope to make this dream a reality by this time next year. My goal for this year is to make $365 selling crafts. I think it's realistic... right?

Anyways, off to get some things done, hope all is well with everyone and take care!
