I have honestly (sort of) got my butt into gear! Yesterday I added some new listings to my Folksy page, so now you can order from my first keyring designs! Each of the keyrings are £7.50 each with postage and packaging varying on where you are from. These are just the first three designs created but I'm hoping to make more with a variety of different quotes on it plus ones with illustrations. I will probably also try and make some Christmas designs that might vary from tree hangers to coasters but wait and see!
This week I have also received some paper samples for me to have a look at. I'm hoping that I'll get some designs made up that I can use the paper as prints and possibly get a large quantity of my calendars printed up. However, I'm not too sure about my calendar. I had it up for sale last year and I don't know if people would want it again but I suppose I should just do it and see how it goes? Who knows might make millions!
Anyway, I'll be trying to update my Folksy site with a few more pieces before the end of the month and I will hopefully get an Etsy account organised next month. So annoying that it won't accept my card whenever I try set it up, but oh well!

For a while now on this blog I have been saying about wanting to open a little Etsy/Folksy shop up. However, I'm honestly so stuck on this.
I had originally planned to write about something else today, but I left it a little late and I have to leave soon. So instead you're getting my most popular posts from 2013.
ohmygod! I can't believe it's already January 2014! This past year has flown by so quickly. And over the past year I've had a very good year. With setting up my Folksy shop and selling two of them within the last month, turning 18, passing my theory test and Darren and I celebrating our 3rd anniversary together it certainly has been crazy!
I'm hoping within the next month and throughout 2014 I will continue to develop my Folksy shop and hopefully manage to set up an Etsy one as well. I'm generally thinking that I would make prints, notebooks, buttons, greetings cards and post cards. I also may try making some magnets or mirrors if I'm able to get supplies to go with my button maker, however I could always just use a company like Awesome Merchandise to make them. In the mean time, I'd really love it if you could give me any other ideas of stuff I could create. I'm really hoping this year to be a bit more creative in my work and would love to try some new things!
As well as being creative in my work and such, I want to do more creative projects for myself. Ones like little D.I.Y's that I can share on here.
I realise this post is basically just extending on my hopes and resolution post but to be honest, this is really all that's going to be going on this month. Apart from the obvious college related posts and such!
This weeks quote is inspired and was kind of my motivation for opening my folksy shop. I'm sure you all know about that now so I won't bog you down on details but if you have still yet to find out what has happened then you can read my post about it here.
Enjoy your weekend everybody!
My god today has been a bit of whirlwind! After finishing college today and getting some christmas shopping done I headed down to hobbycraft to pick up more paper I've been using for my calendar. Unfortunately they didn't have- ugh!!
