Remain Optimistic

Today started out as a bad day, as a result I had a song by Monica (1990's) running through my head Its just one of those days , feel free to sing along if you know the words. Just to give an example of the antics that took place, my cell phone took a dive into the bathtub (thanks Shailyn) and spent the remainder of the day in a ziplock bag full of rice. I am happy to report that as of "press time" it does work! Thank you to whoever came up with that genius idea, you just saved me $200.

Also, I am pleased to report that a couple of items I made were chosen to be in the My Pink Stamper Gallery! You can view it at www.mypinkstamper.com - click on Gallery - then click on Potpourri Basket, there you will find a birthday card that I made for my sister. Also, from the main Gallery, if you click on Plantin Schoolbook you will find a favor bag for a baby shower. Both items have CreationsbyCM written underneath them, and if you scroll over them you will find a description of how the items were made.

I am really excited that these items were featured on My Pink Stampers site. This motivates me to create more, and of course list them on Etsy. creationsbycm.etsy.com

My youngest daughter turns one in a couple of weeks and will begin daycare the next day. It is bittersweet, I will miss her so much but it will allow me more time to complete my school work and of course CREATE items for my Etsy site. Hopefully by the end of this year I will have finally earned my Bachelors Degree and also have consistent sales on Etsy. Is it too late to make that my New Year's Resolution?

The important theme is to remain optimistic, therefore I look forward to the challenges that I will undoubtedly face in the future.

Have a great week!
