I did it!
I finally decided to give in and open an Etsy store.
I'd been thinking about it for a couple years now, but have always fallen back to the "I'm too busy" excuse. And while, yes, I am very busy, I love making my cards and doing crafts in the evenings when the Things go to bed. It is therapeutic and relaxing for me. It is GOOD for me. So with lots of support from my family and friends, I opened a store in Etsy called "A Crafty Mom's Cards".
Original - I know. But the truth is I have been selling the cards to family and friends for years, so it will be interesting to see how this turns out . . . or if it will still be the original family and friends who are purchasing them. Either way, I appreciate the support and absolutely LOVE doing them.
So, I'm going to post a few cards I have made recently, and if you're interested in taking a peek at my new store, you can see my banner to the left or click here.
Enjoy!

Those are just lovely! There is nothing better than a handmade card. I went out and bought all the supplies to make some but never made the time to actually do it. I'll keep your store in mind, though.
Your cards are always beautiful Shan. I'm sure you'll do well.

Way to go - he looks so confident and happy with his backpack. And way to go David on loving preschool - this should give you lots of time to keep making those gorgeous cards!
