February will go by in the blink of an eye and soon spring will be here. I absolutely love spring. We got a taste of it here yesterday with near 70 degree temps and I was in heaven. Windows down in the car, music up, and feeling inspired. I don't know what it is with that change in temperature that does something so good for my body. It's almost like a motivation drug. It just gets me all pumped up and ready to take on the world.
The taste of spring didn't last for long because well, let's get real, this is St. Louis, the same city where you could turn your heat and a/c on within a 24 hour period. And sure enough, today the temperature crashed and by the afternoon, it was chilly and windy as all get out and there were snow flurries in the air. I'll be honest, it made me sad when I woke up this morning. But then I turned on my Springtime Jam station on Pandora and got my head back in the right place.
So, with spring coming and bringing new things, I thought I'd introduce something new that I'll be doing. It kind of happened overnight, or in 12 hours actually, but I'm really excited about it. I've been debating for the past few weeks whether or not to open an Etsy store. I have a variety of creative things to offer, from paintings to prints of my own pictures, but something about that kind of stressed me out. I feel like I would get overwhelmed with potential orders and getting things in the mail and I would completely fail. Sometimes you just have to be honest with yourself, right? But I still had it floating in the back of my mind, and maybe someday I'll have the time to do that, but right now with working full time and staying on top of things otherwise, it just wasn't feasible.
And then, I offered to whip up a logo for a photographer friend who was struggling to get something that worked for her style and so I told her I would mess around with some ideas for a bit to see what I came up with. Turns out, I was pretty dang successful and I was encouraged by some other friends to pursue it more. So, I'm hoping within the next two weeks to get my Etsy Logo Shop up and running. I'll be offering custom made logos, for whatever you might need, but I think they'll cater mostly to photographers or designers. It won't be too much of a burden for me because they are digital files that I can throw together and email or send a link to a client and I won't be overwhelmed by having to physically mail something. I'm really excited about this endeavor and I hope the word travels fast!
Once everything is officially up and running, I'll make sure to make an announcement about it, but until then, here's some of what you can look forward to!
