Did I Say


Did I say.....



 you could.........




 open that? 



Once Upon a Time.....

Once upon a time in the land of  In Your Dreams, there was planned a "Perfect Christmas".

The presents were all  purchased and wrapped  weeks before Santa would add to them on Christmas eve.

The house was immaculately decorated and clean to a pristine condition.

The Christmas cookies and candy were made and beautifully arranged on trays ready to be placed out for arriving family and friends. 

Christmas cards were mailed on December 1st.

All gifts that needed to be shipped had arrived to their destination, uncrumpled, a week before Christmas.




Christmas in my world:


Still shopping on Christmas Eve.  


Finishing wrapping on the 22nd.







Dog hair covered rug/ everything.





Cookies thrown on a tray last minure and wrapped in celophane.






Cards.........some still yet to be mailed.











Still with all that......  a pretty perfect Christmas.

What to do?

Last weekend I had a Pampered Chef booth as part of a Christmas Collective at a local natural family store.  Unfortunately a snow storm kept the holiday shoppers at home, but us ladies that were there had a really good time chatting.  

There were several vendors like myself,  then there were some home spun vendors, meaning they make  the goods they sell.   Really cute children's items, scarves, dresses, shoes, crowns, hair accessories, homemade wool diapers, the list goes on.  

I was talking to these ladies about some of my craft projects I do and about selling some of my stuff to co-workers.   They were very encouraging and urged me to sell them  outside of work as well. 

So I guess I am on a mission to figure out how I want to do this.  Do I just do it through my blog....or should I get a shop on Esty?  

What do the rest of you do?

I need some ideas, please help!
