I DID IT!

I FINALLY created a website after much frustration. I am really proud of myself that I overcame that obstacle. Maybe to some of you out there it may seem like an easy task, but to me it was more of a challenge then I expected... glad that is over with! It may not be the best website in the world, but for now it definitely works! I am excited to see if the website brings in any more money.
To be completely honest, which I am trying to do in this blog, I have not sold anything yet. As you can see on my Etsy page, I opened up shop on April 5, 2011. I figure that I need to give myself more than just a month before I become disappointed. I have read on many websites that it takes about 6 months to a year for a small business that is built solely online to actually get going. I really hope that it doesn't take that long, but I am willing to wait if I eventually get to make this my career. I would get to do the thing that I love to do for the rest of my life.
I cant tell people how happy scrapbooking makes me. I think that it is because it is something that I used to share with my mom. For those of you out there who don't know, I lost my mom on March 1, 2006. It hit me and my family really hard, which is expected. I think that I try to hold on and cherish the memories of her and scrapbooking is one way that my mom lives on. I know that she would be happy that I am actually trying to get this business going.
