hmm

Well I'm not sure what i'm going to write but i got sick of seeing my last post so idecided to fill this with some whatever writing.
The frustrations of starting your own buisness.
1. time spent
2. money spent
3. no results yet
4. frustration
5. dirty house
6. fast pressured dinners
7. loving your product but not getting any bites yet.
8. the scariness of not getting any bites yet. i know it takes a while but its still scary.
9. the frustrations of sewing troubles
10. trying to figure out how to get your name out there.
I know starting a business is hard work, and i know it takes time but it doesn't mean i can't be like everyone else that starts a business and be frustrated. I'm afraid to make more bags cuz what if i don't sell them. and i'm afraid to stop becuase well what if i start selling them. I keep justifying it by thinking about the spring and haveing a booth at the farmers market. then i think about the cost of that ugh. and i have to deisgn a stand that with "stand out" and look professional. I guess i just wait for that one to get here and take it when it comes. In the mean while i've learned how to sew an internal zipper pocket and make it look professional because hey i'm going to be a professional i guess. Anyway if i liked animal prints i'd love my newest bag. so here it is for you to look at. let me know if you have any suggestions on bags that you guys like and designs you like so i can see if i can recreate them.
I haven't worked at famous more than one day this month so i've had a lot of time to get things together. and lots of designing time. i'm starting to make smaller bags as well but haven't taken any pics of them yet. please give me as much input as you can its really great. thanks to all.

Couponing Love

I Haven't done any couponing for a while but recently started following a couponing blog that i love. I got all this loot for for 26.75( i had a gift card for one place so for everyone else it would be 34.50). WOW and really i get 12.00 back in the mail and i got a $6.00 coupon for walgreens for my next purchase of 6. or more. So if you figure that all into it all this stuff only cost me $8.75. AMAZING. I LOVE Coupons!!!!!

Got Some Pics Up. How long could i be a stay at home mom in UT without starting my own home business?

The Answer is 20 Months. Thats right i'm offically a utah stay at home mom trying to make a living now. I just registered my company name and will hopefully have that all squared away tomorrow. What am i doing you ask. Well those of you who know me the best thing of the last thing i used to like to do and you'll get close...... I am sewing handbags and purses and am going to try to sell them. I'd put some pics up but my camera is dead so you'll all have to wait. All i know is that i've showed the first one that has many mess ups on it to a bunch of people and they think its a great idea. I've made 2 more since then (and that means i made 2 purses yesterday) and started another one today i'm trying to make a few before i start to sell them. I'm thinking i'll put them up on etsy first and see how they do. Anyway Wish me luck. I'm a little nervous but i'm feeling pretty confident. Hope all goes well as i just spent $22. on my company name. Oh yeah i forgot to tell you what it is. Bags For Bettys.

So cross your fingers for me as i start out on this new journey.
