My New Website


I finally did it!
  I launched my website!




I actually worked on this off and on for over a year and finally got over the fear of failure/fear of success and pushed the "publish" button.  I fully intended to launch it on Black Friday, which turned to Small Business Saturday...neither of which happened.
I'd neglected it for so long, that I had to reload most of the content and all of the settings.  That was hours of work and phone calls for technical support.

Even with the technical support, I still had a gazillon technical issues before it was ready. So I ended up working on it most of the day on the day before Cyber Monday - and finally pushed the button at about 11:00am.  Whew!  I made it in time for Cyber Monday - before noon! Of course I spent even more time after the launch posting it all over the place....except here!  LOL!  

I decided to do a "soft launch" with my inventory and sample items (primarily Christmas items, bags, embroidered kitchen towels), by marking them down to 40 % to 50% off.
The sale will continue through midnight on my birthday, Dec 11th. Don't miss out!
Then of course there were the inevitable errors with my first couple of orders, which I was able to resolve fairly quickly and ship on time!
YES, I got a few orders about 2 hours after launch. Was I surprised?  You bet I was!  And excited!  I'm still excited! 

After the sale I will begin selling garments, accessories and bags (I'm currently testing a new bag).  Some will be pre-made and others will be custom orders only.  Sign up on the website to be notified of updates and new items!  Sign up here (below) to be notified of new blogs.

Many, many thanks to all who supported me and especially those who pushed me. There were many people who spoke into my life and thus, into my website/my business.  I will be forever thankful to all of you!

After reading about the launch, one of my instagram friends spoke into my life with this Scripture...it thoroughly blessed me and brought me to tears!  It meant so much to me...brought me to tears...tears of gratitude!

Numbers 6:24-26 (NKJV)
"The Lord bless you and keep you;
The Lord make His face to shine upon you,
and be gracious to you;
The Lord lift up his countenance upon you,
and give you peace."



Thank you, friends!  Be blessed!
