I am VERY excited to announce that after much anticipation, preparation and questioning my creative abilities I am finally, almost ready to launch my Etsy shop. This is something I have been working on since last Fourth of July. I originally wanted to open by the end of the summer, but life got away from me and the whole idea was put on the back burner. Although it was something I was constantly thinking about and hoping that one day I would get it off that back burner.

So, one of my first goal as we began 2012 was to get my shop up and running. I was going to attempt to create a shop on my own site. But with everything going on I am going to save that idea for alter and start on Etsy. Hoping I can get a bit of a following that will lead into opening my own shop.

I have been crafting quite a bit for the past couple of weeks and have gathered some old projects to create an inventory. It has become abundantly clear to me that it will be mostly a party supplies shop. I will constantly try new things and create new items, but all of what I have now are projects that I have enjoyed doing for a while now. Something that comes naturally.

Yay! Interested? I hope so!

Here is a sneak peek:

Please check back this weekend or early next week for the official announcement and opening! Yipee!!

Thank you for helping to push me to try all of these fun ideas and providing motivation to keep working on this amazing creative outlet. I couldn’t do it without all of your support!
