Hi everyone
I know, the title of my post is from a song - I can't remember which one, but does seem to reflect what I am doing. I am building up, moving on and improving my Christmas Pie Crafts business. Sadly, it has taken a back-seat to my event organisation and it shouldn't have done so because, to me, it is just as important. I have begun work on improving/re-designing my website, which had been abandoned and neglected. It is still a work-in-progress, but I am really pleased with the background I have found, which took hours or searching on the internet to locate something that really appealed to me. I have changed my business colours from purple and green to fuchsia-pink and lime-green, with a hint of black (well some black lace for my table top at events). Have a look and let me know what you think:
Christmas Pie Crafts
Like lots of people who run a small-crafting-business, I do have doubts about what I am doing. Will
it sell, if it does if I make another one will that sell too, why doesn't it sell? Does it look similar to someone else's? Will it be copied? Sadly, all of these things do happen and do go through one's mind, but it doesn't mean we have to give up and throw in the towel. If at first you don't succeed, try, try and try again - I do hear and read many negative comments about being in business and feel sure that if Steve Jobs and Mark Zuckerberg had abandoned their ideas on day two, life would be incredibly different for all of us now.
I am trying to find a way of using my website background (which I have also used for my business cards and my Facebook banner) as my blog background. It is an image and didn't come with the code that Blogger seems to need, but I shall keep in trying to find a way to use it
Got it! Just remembered the song
is called Movin' On Up and while all of the words do not really relate to what I am doing, one line does: Movin' on up, nothin' can stop me
.
So, it's time to move on up to my work space and get some stock made. I think I am behind with what I should have ready by now so the next few weeks are going to be slog, slog and more slog.
Have a great week everyone - fingers crossed the Bank Holiday is a very sunny and warm one.
Jill
