Well.... Ive been saying all year that I wanted to create a blog. Ha! It's 10:30PM on December 31st and Im finally doing it! Shame on me! I just hope that I will find the time to get on here daily and keep it up to date.
2009 will be here in less than 2 hours. I still can't figure out where 2008 went! It was such a whirlwind year for me. I sold my retail pottery studio in August. It was a "Paint-Your-Own-Pottery" studio that I opened in 2001. I felt like I had given a child up for adoption. That studio was 100% ME! I put a lot of blood, sweat and tears into that place. (literally... blood, sweat and tears). It was such a great business to own, but after starting to sell my custom work online a few years ago, then picking up numerous wholesale accounts to carry my pieces, on top of my etsy shop.... whew! I just couldnt keep up with it all. Luckily I found a great lady (or maybe she found me?) who was interested in purchasing the studio, so... now Im 100% selling my custom work from my "nest".
Some days I stop and realize how lucky I am to be able to do what I love and actually make a living at it. It's funny, because when Christmas came around, I seriously could not think of one thing I needed. I truly feel like I have it all, as far as Im concerned. So, if you notice a lot of the pieces in my Etsy shop that say "blessed" on them, it's probably because that's exactly how I feel.
Happy New Year!
