Ahh, another life change...one good, one not so great


Thursday afternoon my husband came home and told me he needed to talk to me. He said that I should sit down... I thought oh boy, this doesn't sound good. He proceeded to tell me that he was going to be laid off on January 1... I was like what? Your kidding right? Unfortunately, he wasn't! Keep in mind, I am still laid off... My unemployment will go through at least April 30th... but sheesh! What else is going to go wrong!

I know we will be fine for a while, but now I have a huge decision to make... Do I go back to work, or do I go back to school like I had previously planned. It is something that has been weighing heavily on my mind. I have to make my decision by the first of November so that I can get registered and set up for school. I do really want to go back to school, but it will be very tough to do if Jim doesn't go back to work right away!

I have been thinking and thinking about trying to do an Etsy shop for a long time, and right now, well I don't think the timing can get any better! I need to do something to prove to myself that I will be able to go back to school as well as bring in enough extra money to help with the bills. So, yesterday I set up web shop on Etsy and today I have listed two sets of my flowers and I am hoping that they will sell! If you have a minute will you check out my shop? I still obviously have a ton of work to do and I am going to make flowers for the good part of the day tomorrow and all of next week in hopes that I can fill it up. I really want to make this work, so here's hoping that it will... Also, I will take any constructive critism about the shop that you can give me! Anything that will give it a chance to be more profitable!

Here is my Header for the shop and the link is below:
