Not moving

newest christmas card

So in my last post I wrote that I was going to send out an email...It completely and utterly failed. I like to give up when I completely fail at something. I am pretty discouraged...

BUT,

I am still thinking about changing my focus, both in the Etsy business and in my ponderings about starting a website with all my lesson plans, including some video lessons that I could use while I am gone in the spring with baby #2!

In the Etsy shop, I was thinking about adding some other products like scrapbook templates or party printables, but I cannot find anything that I feel would be truly unique. I don't feel like it would be a waste of my time to do these things, however, because I want to have unique scrapbooks for my children and it would be fun to create party printable designs for any and all events that I have...that is if I ever hosted any parties...sigh. Life is so busy and all I ever seem to do is add to it.

The Etsy shop is not over yet...but it is going to take some doing to pull my spirits out of the ditch!

For the art teacher lesson plan site, I do not expect this to come off the ground for some time, perhaps next summer at the earliest. I just don't know if it would be successful, I would hate to put a lot of work into it and then get nothing from it. On the other hand, I am already going to be doing a lot of work building a curriculum. I may as well go one extra mile and make it professional enough that it could be quality enough to put up for sale.

I just don't want to overwhelm myself with all of the work that would come with trying to run 2 sites at once, because I don't think that Dreams To Creation would be big enough for these two different purposes.

immediate goal: make a banner and birth announcement for my Etsy shop, start thinking about the first lesson that I could make for photography.
long term goal: make a sale this month!
