Two Months Ago...Here I am again

I stared this Blog two months ago and only have one post! I'm new to this blogging thing and hopefully will be able to post on a more regular basis once I get all of this figured out!  Selling on Etsy is my main goal for the next few months.
Being unemployed almost a year now I should have started this a long time ago, but alas I'm here finally!
I'm going to be putting up lots of holiday items in my Etsy shop this week to get ready for the holidays.  I've collected a ton of holiday items the last year to put up and sell.
Here's a preview of some of my items I'm putting up for the holidays:



The magazines are from 1968 and 1972 and chocked full of Christmas craft ideas, recipes, trees and trimmings and have full color pages that are huge (9x12).
For now...back to Etsy and learning how to make the holiday sales season a success!

My First Blog Post!

Well I've arrived to BLOGLAND...I have finally started a BLOG--after many years of saying I was going to start one I actually did today! YAY!  Welcome old & new friends to come.

I primarily started my blog to help with my Etsy sales but also post things like my craft projects, estate sale finds and more.

I'm going to start with a before and after photo of my latest craft project today...here's the before of this ugly Goodwill mirror!


So I went to ACE and found the perfect Tiffany Blue paint!  This mirror is the inspiration for a bathroom remodel coming soon.  Its a half bath with ugly old woodgrain cabinets and plastic laminate countertops...ICK!


Here's the after picture! Love it!

So I'm new to this Blogging and just figuring out how to post, do backgrounds, etc.  I do have some new paper I found this week that will be hitting my shop soon. This is the popular 11x11 size for scrapbooking and I've got over 150 sheets to sell!



Ok--that's it for my first BLOG post today...should be more coming soon since I'm out of work at the moment and concentrating on ETSY selling.
