It's Been a While

It's been a really long time since the last time that I wrote on here. I really hope that those I regularly talked to are in good health as well as those that I don't talk to. I know that didn't make too much sense but hey, that's me lol. I have officially stopped working online so much. No more 8-12 hour days staring at this computer. Nope. My friend Chris and I are doing well with the crafts and my end has expanded a ton. Not only am I doing the canvas and the bottles that I had shown previously on here, but now I'm sublimating and I am doing anything and everything I can get my hands on. Our facebook page is getting decent traffic and I haven't been messing with Etsy too much though I should. Along with that, my husband started a new job back in town. No more drives to and from Nashville. He's happy there too so it was a win-win for us. It's a pay cut but it's fine and we don't have to worry about the gas as much. I will be starting my job at the marina as of next year. Either January or in the beginning of February. I've been helping out there every now and then on my own time but I'll be on payroll as of next year lol. Chris and I even signed up for our first craft fair next year in May. Wish us luck lol. This week will be crazy because I have to finish up some presents and then we're still delivering meals on Christmas Eve. I'm so proud to do it but it makes me sad that so many need help. Thanksgiving we delivered 700 meals and for Christmas we're pushing 800 meals. The main thing is, I'm going to try to make one post a morning as part of my routine now. I'm coming in as cashier so I get Friday, Saturday and Sunday off. When they want to change my title then we can discuss lol. For now this is what it is though and I'm okay with that. How has everyone been?

@JordanLader they need to be in the fridge because they don’t have preservatives like the ones at the grocery store.

It is a lot and it seems to go up. Last year was the first time we did this. It's a lot of fun and the people you meet are amazing. At least most of them are, I won't say that they're all grateful but the majority of them are. I'm glad to be back and I can't wait for the actual holidays lol. I'm baking for both the meals and our family this year. We can go back to home made desserts. Merry Christmas!!

May God blesses you at the Craft Fair and that you have great success in selling your crafts. May the fair also serve as a good promotion for your work. Merry Christmas in advance.
