Our handcrafted journey continues into the holiday
season. We are so grateful that our
SCRABBLE JEWELRY is so well received, as well as our DOG FRAMES. It definitely keeps us hopping in order to create what we hope are some cool Christmas gifts!

However, we did go get our Christmas tree at a local tree
farm. Love the smell of a Christmas tree
in our house. We also got some
Christmas decorations out, so we did take some time for ourselves, and our handcrafted work will continue
tomorrow.
This was our first year really working at this
handcrafted business and actually it was only a partial year. It will help us to figure out next year’s
holiday season, as well as the rhythm of the year’s work. We’re keeping track of how many Scrabble
bracelets and frames we’ve been selling
to give us an idea about next year (as long as what is popular now is
popular next year -another variable to consider). We created our own computer worksheet to keep
track of our inventory and sales because we didn’t find anything online that really
did what I wanted it to do.
I have to say though that I’m looking forward to sitting after the
holiday season is over, so we can look at those records and plan for next year. I’m big into plans and this past year has given us a good foundation to work with, so we will plan, and hopefully next year will be even better. But, I am also looking forward to taking a week
or so off at the end of December…to relax…and sleep…and read…and relax…and
sleep.
But for now, as Thanksgiving has just past, we are
reminded how very thankful we are for our family, friends, customers and this handcrafted
business that we have built up and all the creative ideas we've been
blessed with.
Now, it’s off to sleep to be well-rested for another
whirlwind week.
