So Chris and I have been talking about opening an Etsy account for our crafts for a little bit but things in life just got a bit crazy.
I took a leap this morning though and opened a shop.
I can't believe I actually did it and we only have one thing in there right now but it's a start.
I'm hoping we'll figure out the other stuff that we do soon but we have time. There's no reason to rush and maybe screw up a good thing.
We enjoy what we do and we don't want to screw it up in any way.
I'm just really nervous about this new venture.
Fingers crossed y'all lol.

@JordanLader It will if you keep pouring your heart into it in pursuit of your passions.

@moffittjc I'm trying. Life just sucks it out of you sometimes. I love to sell things in general and am on Facebook marketplace. However, all the scams that are on there right now, I'm ready to give it up.

I make things on canvas, mugs, tote bags, wooden designs, and we do a lot of bottle decor. Chris specializes in pallet designs but we can't really ship them lol.

@JordanLader Well that sounds exciting. And also quite easy to market. Common gifts for occasions.

@flapiz We went to the big 127b yardsale over the weekend and it seems like everyone is getting into this type of business. The difference is we don't want to be a business, we just want to do the things we enjoy.

I'll try. It's still very new. We've had a facebook page that I try to share. Everything is on there.

Thank you! We just got into the crafts in February and we wanted to see if we could sell local first. We have items set up in a massage parlor and sold one thing there. Now lets try this :)
