Busy busy!

I am busy putting final touches on everything, cranking out the last ornaments and packing up for the Holiday Craft Fair in Cripple Creek this weekend! 

And my little helper is in on it too. Okay he isn't much help. He's actually a huge distraction and loves to interrupt me right when I'm in the groove. But he's also my main motivation. Funny how they do that isn't it?

So much to do!!

Holiday Ornaments and First Sales!

A couple of months back, I switched gears and became a holiday-ornament-making machine.

Today I have sold my first little birds!

The first two purchases on Etsy come from dear friends of mine. It's great to know that I have support from the people I care about and that is a big enough gift for the holidays to keep me warm!

The third comes from somebody I don't know! I find this particularly exciting. Sure, my friends are supporting me personally and that's a super huge deal but for all this other person knows, I'm a terrible lady. She just likes what I do! And enough to send the paper birds as a gift. Even better!

I'm in a heap of joy on this affirming Tuesday afternoon! For the first time since before my son was born, I have paying work to do. It's incredibly fulfilling to feel like I have a purpose outside of changing diapers and shoving mushy food into a tiny person's mouth -which is rewarding and tiring all at the same time.

So to those who supported me today, if you read this, THANK YOU! I may not have made a million bucks today but I sure feel like it!
