Thank Goodness its Friday

Well another week has almost come and gone and that means I am one week closer to moving to Florida. I am so ready. These gloomy days are so awful and bring down my mood which is generally happy.

Things to do today:

1. Go to work from 1 to 5
2. Take Pictures of new items for Etsy
3. Go back to work at 6
4. List items on Etsy

and the times in between play on Facebook and come up with new ideas for Etsy.

I hope everyone has a great weekend and I will be sure to share the pictures once I have them tken and loaded to my computer.

Just another Day

Well I got another custom order from my Etsy shop today. That would be two in less then a week. I am pretty happy about that. I will be making 35 monkey's this week. I am also going to be listing some cute circus cupcake toppers and other die cuts that could be easily into cupcake toppers. My friend Ann reminded my that I should think about a Facebook page for my Etsy shop. I think I will be looking into that this weekend.

The gloomy weather is making it hard to get motivated to get many of my projects started. I would really just love a couple sunny days in a row. I order the items I needed to make my new line of products. Well it is going to organic lipbalm made in a variety of flavors using only organic or all natural ingredients. After I get the hang of lipbalm I am going to be making soap and body lotion. I think that to be successful you have to get trying anything that pops in your mind. I have a goal to reach before we move and I believe I can achieve that goal.

I know that it is going to be a lot of work and dedication and I am ready to be successful, so watch out for my new items coming to my Etsy store soon. I will be a link to my shop in the blog in the upcoming days. I better get to bed I am going to be listing all day tomorrow.

Getting Organized

Well it is officially time to get everything organized. Since we will be moving in a year I need to start the dreaded weeding through the boxes and thinking about what I am keeping and what I am selling. You would think that since I just moved in here last July I would not have to do this again but there are a lot of things that I never did unpack and now I can start to weed out 80% of our winter clothes and coats. Only keep the nice stuff and a few items to make it through this next winter.

I also need to get my new lip balm business started and get more paper products listed on Etsy. I would love to have my business making roughly $150 -200 a month before we move. This would mean I could work less hours to start off with. Only time will tell and hopefully word of month and having my friends send people my way might help the cause.

I feel as if I have so much to say right now and I know that I have only a few minutes to blog at the moment. It's funny how some days you are more chatty than others. This just means that I might be blogging twice today. It's almost time to head to class so TTFN

Loved Spring Break

Well it is back to the grind of things now that Spring Break is over, but we had a lovely time. We enjoyed the parks to the fullest even though it was considered to be one of the busiest times to go and we also went to look at a couple apartments.
We found the one that we think is a perfect fit. The only bummer was the kitchen was all white and boring but other than that it had everything we were looking for. I mean spanish tile roofing, high ceilings, 2 master bedrooms with baths so all in all a great place.
Now the other apartments we looked at the newer one fell short on the outer appearance to me but the inside from the photos we seen had everything else.
It is going to be a long wait until we move next year since we are all so ready. It felt good to go apartment hunting and Natalie had a blast looking too.

Now let's talk about Disney. Well the Magic Kingdom now has a dance party area located close to space mountain and miss Natalie spent 5 nights dancing away she just loved Stitches Club 626. It rocked and we are going to be making a video of her at the dance party. Nate and I spent a lot of couple time walking around and talking, riding the rides that the wait times were reasonable. We really enjoyed the warm weather and sunshine. Its kinda sad to think that in two days it will be back to 40 here in Bloomington and the sun will once again go into hiding.

I have major business plans and I need to get some research done so I am off for now. As Tigger would say "Ta Ta for Now"

Sleep where are you?

I have to catch a shuttle for the airport at 10:40am and not to mention the fact that I have to turn in paperwork at 8AM and here I am sitting here blogging. I think it is the excitement of going on vacation not to mention the fact that I am flying for the first time.

So I figure I should sit here and blog and hopefully my mind will slowly calm down enough to sleep. Its funny its not just me it is all of us. Everyone is still up and I also think that time change has something to do with it.

I received a request for a custom order on Etsy today and I made the cutest black and white moo cows and got them in the mail already. I think I have gotten a custom order the last two times the day before we leave on vacation. I think I should plan a vacation all the time and maybe I will keep getting those orders.

I am really hoping I can get my business to make at least 200 a month by the time we move next June. I have plenty of time and I know I am creative enough. Well I am going to try to go to sleep again. Wish me luck. I will be sure to blog sometime this week to let everyone know how I like flying.

Be safe and enjoy your week ahead.

The longest Weekend ever

This weekend is dragging on. I know it is because we leave out on Monday for Disney but I mean it is only 11 pm on Saturday night and we do not catch the shuttle to the airport until 10:40am on Monday. I am packed and ready to go. It is quite here so work is very boring and normal I will be jumping for joy but since tme is slipping by so slowly I would rather be busy.

I am still kinda of nervous for flying for the first time. I will be posting form the plane it has wifi and that totally rock.

I think I will goof off on the computer for a while and then I will head to bed. Remeber to Spring forward as daylight savings happens tonight at 2 am.

Got my Hair trimmed

I went to Great Clips to get my hair trimmed and I have to say that they rock. I was so disappointed the last time I got my haircut at Jcpenney and the stylist today fixed what they last person screwed up and now I am one happy camper.

I am so ready for our upcoming trip. The days are kinda dragging on and I know its because we are all so excited. I am also going to be ordering some stuff from Avon from my friend Ann and I am so excited about that too.

Life right now is pretty darn good. Have a great weekend.
