Taking a much needed break...

I have decided that I'm going to take a step back from my etsy store for a while. I love having it, and creating my items, but I have so much else going on that it's causing unnecessary stress in my life. As sad as I am about it, I'm also really excited when I think of having 6-7 hours a day freed up that were previously spent on making my items, listing, advertising, promoting, and shipping. What really sealed it for me was when I was helping Kiersten clean up her room, and realized I don't even remember the last time I played barbies with the girls, or played a board game, baked, or made a project. So I am pretty excited to start doing all of those things more, and spending less time on my shop. I hope to get back into it in a few years when the kids are all in school full day, or as they get more involved in their sports and activities. For now, I went ahead and deleted all of my "made to order" items to free up my time, and it has been so nice. Ben already noticed a difference when I had time to just sit and hang out with him this weekend. It felt great not to feel guilty about an order I should be making, or a listing I need to photograph for my shop. To help my inventory sell through, I made a coupon code for 25% off if any of you want to get some bows for cheap. COUPON CODE: CLOSEOUT. The other great thing, is now I'll be able to make stuff for friends and family again, (not to mention my own girls). So while it's sad to let go, I am really looking forward to all the fun projects and ideas I've been pushing to the back burner that I will finally be getting around to!
So long for now, My Little Bows
