Who needs the new year to start something new?!

Not this gal.  I've been prepping and researching and making and waiting and doing some more prep and finally have opened my first Etsy shop!  This will be the official blog for the shop where I can put up works in progress, talk about the shop going ons, post coupon codes and other general chemistry/science nerdy-ness times.


So first off - the shop!  (this is the point you click on the link and see how awesome my shop is since I don't know how to put etsy listings into a blog yet)

oooo!  ahhh!  such wonders!  right? 


I have a whole slew of ideas that I will be busy "makering" in the upcoming weeks. I had Heather at HMD Photography take these excellent pictures for me to get my shop up and running.  Since she is a few cities over and it is hard to plan when to meet up, I'm going to try to take some of my own for the next items before begging asking her to take some more for me.

These are the times I wish I had saved up money all year to get a Black Friday deal on a SLR...maybe next year.

Oh!  and before I sign off for the day, just so I have it on "paper" - My goal for my shop is to have 50 sales by this time next year!  Since I am a full time stay at home mama, I feel like this is reasonable :)

Anyway, take a look around the shop.  Let me know if you have any questions or even critiques.  Everything on Etsy is ever-evolving so I need to stay hip (a challenge for me, even on a good day). 

Looking forward to seeing where this year takes me and my shop!
