Life Update: Warning Long Post

I just wanted to pop in today and give everyone a little glimpse into where I have been since August (YIKES!) my last blog post here!

I will take this little story all the way back to October of 2016...I decided to expand my business "Scrapping for Less" and open a website. I had been content with the business being a Facebook pre-order site until my sales rep at the time (thanks so very much for that push, Steve Vos) suggested why didn't I expand to the internet and with an online store! Well after some thought and much hard trying and figuring (with his help) I just pushed through and went for it.

Okay, so let's now fast forward to January of 2017...I took my then Product Assistant...more about her on January 1! And a Design Team member and decided if I was going to expand and grow this website I needed to go to the industry's trade show (Creativation) and get my name out there and just see how well I was able to mesh into this wonderful industry!

Wow! what a whirlwind...I went to Phoenix, AZ as a little tiny website (totally unknown) and was a sponge...learning, meeting, and looking at all the possibilities and ways I could grow this business. I was so thankful that I and my team members were accepted with arms wide open by some wonderful companies.

So how does all that pertain to where I have been since August you might ask? Well, I was fooling myself to think that I could single handed practically run a website, a Facebook group, start up a card kit, and be the orderer, packager, and shipper of everything. And at the same time continue to create all the time for all the blog hops, and posts in between!

I tried really hard but I will be totally honest it took its toll and I not only began to put out creations that I was not proud of at all because they had been created at the last minute and under a severe time crunch but it also manifested itself in my health and well being also.

The result was to take a step back from creating, get myself healthy both mentally and physically, focus on growing and expanding the business and strengthening those relationships with others in the industry, and focus on getting some much needed help with the business.

I am here now at the end of 2017 to say that I was able to successfully do all of the above (more about direction, goals, and moving forward on January 1) and then some! I, of course would never say that I feel I am finished but I do feel like I am back to my old self and am wonderfully happy to be back to creating with my team!

Thanks so much for taking the time to read and look into my little corner of the world!
