Good End to the Year

So it's December 31st and I received my check from my sales at The Shops Above Memory Lane in Buda, TX.  I started consigning my jewelry here when it first opened at the end of April 2010.  Sales were big at the beginning then tapered off in the fall....My check for December's sales was the biggest all year!  Now it's time to get re-focused on my creative endeavours and make 2011 even bigger.  Happy New Year everybody!

If we can make it through December...

I completely agree with Merle Haggard...December is a tough month.  When you have a small business, December can often make or break your year.  My "business" is not my only focus or my only source of income, for that, I am thankful.  Since relocating back to Oklahoma in August, I haven't had much time to exercise my creative muscles.  I also have the small hands of my 4 year old niece asking to help me every time my supplies come out.  I'm really hoping to have some more time to focus once the new year rolls around, thankfully though, I was able to complete a piece last night.
