Success!

Just a quick little note - I've made two sales at my Etsy Shop -YAYAYAYAY!!!! What gets me most excited about it is the fact that the purchases were made by long time friends (that I do't get to talk to every day) that truly appreciate the things that I do. I could not be happier. It means the world to me that  even though i don't get to see or talk to them everyday, they're still thinking about me and want to support me. And one of the buyers already said she's going to buy more in the near future.

WINNING!

In other news, the department of labor is really annoying. :o[

New Beginnings - part 2

Hello! So it's been awhile - SORRY! I've been quite busy. I just came back from being on vacation in New Hampshire- and it was SO relaxing. Just what the doctor ordered.

Lake Winnipesaukee, NH

Beautiful sunsets, family time, lake sports....wonderfulness. And the week before last, I created my own "Just For You" Etsy Shop, filled with hand-stamped goodies.

Here's a sample of one of my cards:

So, I think I've figured out what I plan to do with this blog. In college, I took a class where the teacher wanted us to keep a journal, and during class she had "free write" time. We could write about anything. We had to write whatever was on our mind, no matter what it was....complex or simple. So that's what I'm going to try here. Hopefully it will be everyday or every other day. 

Here we go!

New beginnings

I recently lost my job due to some differences with the company. Let's just say.... it was a blessing in disguise. But nonetheless, I have a lot of free time on my hands. Sure, I'm looking for another job, but I might as well take advantage of the free time and do all the things I've wanted to accomplish. 

Of course being a frequent visitor to Pinterest doesn't help any. Just adds to the already long list of things to try and do. Some ideas 'pins' I've repined and tried.... successfully and unsuccessfully. That's what I LOVE about Pinterest. Most of the pins are easy DIY projects, so if you fail miserably at them....not a lot have time has been wasted. I'm a pretty crafty person, so I'll try anything.

We'll see where this blog goes. I'm not sure what I'm going to do with it yet. Maybe it will be an area to show-off my crafts....sometimes maybe a vent session of the trials and tribulations of finding a new job....talk about my latest adventure....who knows. 

Here's to new beginnings.
