taking the leap

i think i'm going to do it. i am going to open an etsy shop. i have been struggling with the decision for a few months now. we don't really have any extra income for me to go out and buy craft supplies that i may not be able to make a profit on. i have not been able to justify it. i've been doubting myself big time, and its wearing on me...i wonder if people will buy what i like to make? however, why not just give it a shot? i've been going back and forth in my head, and i think its just time to jump in head first. i think its a great time of year for holiday decor. i'm going to craft my heart out over the next couple of weeks then open my shop. i think i can, i think i can....

i will start small, with just a few items...ornaments, garlands and wreaths perhaps. i have butterflies just thinking about it! if any of you have any tips for getting started i would love the advice. still trying to come up with a name!! lol
here's the short list:
crafty tina
tina's creations
tina loves to craft
creative tina
little pretties by tina
ok, brain fart...arg!

*deep breath* wish me luck! ;o)

    Oh I totally think you should do it! You'll do great, AND you never know until you try, right?

    I like Tina's Creations best out of your list. What about something like Treasures by Tina or Tina's Treasures? Haha - I'm all about alliteration! :-)

    I can't wait to see what you create!

    Do it! It would be the biggest rush to you when you start selling things. I wish I were crafty enough to open a shop, but alas, I lack the talent. So I get excited when my friends expore and exploit their talents. Do it!

    I like Little Pretties by Tina. Good luck! Can't wait to see what you make! I've wanted to take the plunge as well- even got an etsy account! But haven't really done anything. Hey if you want to do a giveaway or promote your shop, just let me know, k. Best wishes,
