Update on my shop

I just wanted to give an update on my Etsy shop. Things are going really well! The first couple of weeks after I opened it up, I had a couple sales a week, and I was happy to have one every other day. Now it seems like as soon as I finish up one order, and start to pack it up for shipping, I hear that "cha-ching" on my phone to let me know I've got another. It definitely keeps me busy, but thankfully I'm not overwhelmed.

Chase's school had a fund-raiser vendor fair, and I participated in that. I didn't sell as much as I thought I would, but I wasn't disappointed. Since I decided to make everything to order, I was fully prepared to be completely stressed out and running around like a crazy chicken with my head cut off for a couple weeks trying to get it all done. I was able to get everything finished within one week. And my amazing bff, Kim, got me a beautiful sign. She's the best!

Also, I was really excited to be able to outfit a Christmas production! A school ordered my dresses for their elves in their Christmas play! I really hope they send me a picture, because I was thinking about making a scrapbook about my shop, and why I started it. I absolutely love it when people send me pictures of their kids in my dresses.

I'm sure things will slow down after the holidays, but it's really nice to be able see our adoption account going up. Everything, even the shipping money, goes directly into it, and then we're paying out-of-pocket for expenses and shipping, so that way it's like we're adding to the fund every month too. Once our adoption is paid for, if I keep up the shop, which I very well may, I'll use that account for expenses and what-not, but for now, I just want to see it grow!
