Audition
There was about 20 people in the studio and they had to sing in front of the group as well as the shows producers, at times it was hilarious because there were the obvious time wasters and then the real singers but what ever I think of them shouldn't matter they were following their dreams and all power to them!!!!!!

Hi
But I will challenge myself once again to post every day for a week from Monday but the twist will be I have to post a photo of a creative venture everyday. this might be a card, scrapbook layout, some knitting, drawings, or some fashion designs!!!!! so watch this space.
In other news I made my first Etsy sale today it was only for a sample but I am well happy!!!! I have always up until now made sales through meeting with my customers and word of mouth over the phone or email so this makes a good change.
Stay blessed ............

Shop
Since my last post I have been working none stop, last Sunday I meet with a client who wanted Invitations and she wanted them ASAP.................. So I worked flat out until Thursday afternoon when I delivered the order.
I was so tired the I actually slept until after 9am on Friday morning.
Saturday I set up the shop and posted my Invitations for the first time, which took forever.
I was seriously on the computer for like 6 hours I don't know if it was the Etsy shop's network or my computer but it was moving so slow.
Sunday I had a relaxed day spent time reading your blogs, I watched two movies one was an old favorite "You've got mail" with Meg Ryan and Tom hanks, and the other was a British/Indian film "Brick Lane" and I cooked Sunday Dinner for myself and my brother.
Just a brief recap of the last 8 days
Stay blessed until next time.

Sunday
I worked today but it was good, the client I visited had a 10 month old baby girl who was so adorable. which made the visit so relaxed because sometimes going into people's homes can be very intimidating not knowing what to expect. Both Mother and Baby were so open and welcoming it was easy for us to work out what she wanted for her Invitations, this order is such short notice so I will be working flat out until Thursday when I deliver. well it's 10 to Midnight and I need my bed so stay blessed until....... maybe tomorrow
Saturday
I have decided to keep the exercise programme going Monday to Friday, five days a week is enough for me at the moment.
earlier in the month I joined myspace {with a little doubt whether it would be any good for networking for my business} and I have been pleasantly surprised by the response, so if there is anyone out there who is maybe thinking about joining I say go ahead and see what happens, because at the moment the promotion of the business is the hardest but most rewarding thing just letting people know that you are here and trading. luckily there is a big trend across the globe for handmade goods which makes it easier for people like me.
later......

Thursday
But I have some sad news come in this evening my former pastors wife was on holiday with her Sister and her youngest child in Spain, and her 15 year old son died of an heart attack!!!! how does this happen to a teenager???
Take this as a lesson people live your dream because life is to short to live unhappy.
Peace
Wednesday
I was invited to a birthday Dinner of which I declined, and I spent the evening with my sister, niece (13) and nephew(17 months) instead. She has that teen spirit and the new baby energy going on, which I find fascinating because when you walk through the door the toddler comes running trying to talk to you in his baby language and Tisha has her teenage girlie things that she is telling me about.
I didn't get back home until well after midnight and I remembered to blog when I was already in bed.....
Until later when I post about today's adventures

Tuesday
I would highly recommend this book by Sidney Poitier It's inspiring, when I think of where he came from to where he is today.
In other News.... I accepted a place at university today to study Fashion Design this has been a childhood dream that has deluded me which I started before but I had to drop out due to a serious health problem, at one point I didn't think I would be here today but thanks to God I am now well that is why I can't let the dream die. so yes I will be going back to University at 32 and I am so happy right now. and I will be posting my college adventures on this blog for the world to see.
am out until tomorrow...........

It spring
This is from the garden last year before I started blogging.
In other news I know I have been a bad blogger but I have a good excuse. as I have mentioned before about starting my business I had a wedding show to attend last Sunday, and for the last month I have been designing and making samples for the show I've been knee deep in card, paper, ink etc but it has been worth it. I only got a chance to take a few photos of the show before the public was allowed in which I will post over the weekend. it was my first show so I didn't know what to expect but it was good meeting my potential customers face to face. my sister played the role of my assistant for the day, In the days leading up to the show I was so emotional I was happy, nervous, sick anxious and everything in the middle, I was thinking will people like my work.
I can laugh about it now but on Saturday I was sick with a fever and vomiting, I felt under pressure. I think this was due to the fact that your business is your baby and you are responsible for everything. and with all the money and time I have invested, I wanted to put my best foot forward, over all I enjoyed the experience and I can't wait to attend another show.
Happy Easter, don't eat to much chocolate (yeah right!!!) and stay Blessed.

Business
I spent most of Saturday on the Internet researching things for my business, which as most people know you plan to go on the net for an hour and then you spent half the day, you get so distracted {well that's my excuse} that when it's time to come off, you still haven't done what you set out to do in the first place.
My little sister turned 26 on Sunday, we had a family dinner to celebrate it was fun, and as usual my mum cooked up a storm in the kitchen the food was sooooo good. It wasn't until this morning that I realised I didn't even fire up the camera this shows how new I am to this, it would of been the perfect scrapbook moment damn.... for our family this the official start of the Birthday season.
I have two clients who would ike to see some samples and get quotes, by next weekend so I off to work on this. I will post a sneaky peak of the samples once they are done.
