So Much To Celebrate

With my recent financial troubles I thought long and hard about other ways I could bring money in. As I started making things for Jayden's birthday party, I decided to start an Etsy shop and list the things I made. I figured there isn't much risk in that. Either they sell and I make more for Jayden's party or they don't sell and at least I tried and I still have them to use for Jayden. 

I decided to call my shop So Much To Celebrate because I thought back to the teasing I got about how much time I put into Jayden's first birthday. We were not only celebrating his first birthday but also his adoption finalization and I kept saying "We have so much to celebrate!" every time someone commented about how much work I was putting into the party. To me it wasn't just a first birthday party. Even now as I prepare for Jayden's second birthday, it feels like so much more to me.

As I got going with setting up the shop, I thought of other ideas and spent a lot of time making things and putting up new listings. The work paid off and things have been going pretty well. I wanted to share with you some of the things I have made.

  6. Wow, so creative! You have awesome talent and I hope this brings in the extra that you need, and maybe even blossoms into something bigger.

    I've tried commenting on your previous few posts but they haven't gone through - I'm challenged with logging in and using those word verification thingys. Anyways, I feel you about the IRS. They are doing the same thing to us. We filed in February and it's been a postal battle ever since, with them asking for paperwork we submitted, replying to letters, etc. From the last letter they sent, they have the money sitting there, waiting, but they aren't going to release it until November (if I counted the days correctly). Ugh. I hope you get yours sooner!!
