For the past few years I have been a very casual maker and seller of miscellaneous craft type items. I love doing it and sharing with others. To me it is almost therapeutic and I love to see peoples reactions. Being gifted in the creativity department leaves me with a huge sense of self satisfaction to hear a recipient of a gift basket or handmade angel marvel and say "How did you do that, I could never create anything even close".
So now I have a very specific purpose for making even more and becoming more serious. We've been absorbing all costs for everything we've been making so far including the cakes, cookies, breads. We decided to do the same with our handmade items. Our open house is taking place on December 11th. We're of course going to be serving red velvet cake and we're going to display all that we've been making. So far we have winter hats, a tree skirt, stockings for Christmas, tree ornaments, teacher gifts, new baby gift baskets, chalkboards, and wooden trees that hold Christmas cards.
For anyone out of town we're posting all items online at www.etsy.com simply click on the arrow by "Handmade" and then click on "Sellers" then type "bigdreams1" into the box and click on "search" our store will be brought up and then you can click on "bigdreams1", all items are there and they include shipping charges. Remember every penny is going towards Zach's trip to Europe. It's so cool to see him so driven and willing to work so hard to earn as much toward his trip as he can. He may not be able to sew or paint like I can but he has been doing dishes, laundry and vacuuming so I have more time to do so.
I love my kids! Til next time.
