My first post

Hello out to everyone out there in cyberworld. I finally took my craft business to a new level. I opened an online store through etsy. I enjoy making arts and crafts as it is how I relax. So hopefully I can keep up with how things are going. I'm learning new things everyday.

A little past history on me. I attended and graduated from Hyles-Anderson College in Crown Point, IN. I received a Bachelor degree in elementary education and my MRS degree. I taught school from the fall of '01 until the fall of '06. During that time, my husband and I had 2 little boys. Teaching was taking its toll on the family and house.

I then got my CNA certificate and started working in home health care. I loved what I did. Again, working full time was taking a toll on my family and house. My boys were being raised by someone else. We searched and found the best possible daycare, but it wasn't the same as mom.

When I found out this past fall that I was expecting again, we took the plunge. I became a SAHM. Sure we had to cut back on some things. Not as much fast food.:) The boys are reaping the benefits and I'm getting the rewards.

I have been making and selling crafts part-time for the last 5 years. I decided to really make a go of it. We are on a course to get our house paid off. We want to be debt-free. So here is my on-line store: http://www.bpdesign.etsy.com/. Check it out. Maybe buy something.=)

Etsy is great. Everything is handmade. So you don't have to worry about the lead paint or anything crazy like that.

I just finished the Santa earrings today. I was able to get a good picture of them in the fir tree out front before it started pouring again.

Well, I'd better get some sleep. Goodnight all.
