Gearing Up for the Fall/Winter Holiday Season

Am I being overly optimistic?  I certainly hope not!  I prefer to think of it as being prepared.  I have been working like a drone to create new and different wreaths, floral arrangements, and storage boxes for my ETSY and BONANZA stores.  I am planning to expand to EBAY this month.  The hardest part of this is dedicating the computer time necessary when I really want to be creating wreaths.  I just love love love making wreaths.  <smile>  Yesterday I created a Christmas Kissing Ball (it's so adorable), a Funky Turquoise Feather Wreath, a bright Pink Storage Box, a Christmas Swag, etc, etc.  You get the idea.  This weekend my work space has been used many hours and I want to be in there creating even when I must be sleeping.  Two weeks ago I had 3 sales and this past week nothing.  I am hoping to learn more about marketing online and of course that also takes computer time.  Maybe I need a partner....nah...I know I can do it myself.  Can anyone say, Time Management???

Well, enough about that.

I am so happy to be alive today.  It's a glorious day, so bright and sunny, so HOT!  North East Texas has certainly been a very hot and dry place to be since the beginning of July.  My grass is crunchy.  Yep, crunchy!  I try to water it just enough to keep it alive, but even that is very expensive.  Last month over $100.00 of water went on my 'crunchy' grass.  I really am happy to be alive today, even though I told you how hot and dry it is here.  But, the one thing I know, God will send the rain and cooler weather when it's time.

I hope you have a wonderful day!
