Getting ready for Christmas!

I know, I am totally skipping autumn but its only because these sold soooo fast last year that I couldnt keep up with them! Here is what I have been working on for the last few weeks, and will be for the next 2 months.

ALL of these ornaments are for sale on my Etsy Shop! I also take custom orders, send me a message about what you would like and I will try my hardest to make it happen :) 

Happy Friday Everyone

Well Hello Again...

I have not made a single post in forever. I have no idea why I am writing now, but who cares ;) I stopped writing a while ago because I became very busy and just didn't have the time or desire to write. I love writing but I can only do it on my time, I cannot make a post every single day.

Since I am here I hope you all are doing well! Anything new and exiting? Tell me what is the latest and greatest, I want to know whats new! :)

As you all know, Christmas is coming up super fast and most of you will be looking for the perfect gifts for all your loved ones. LOOK NO FURTHER!

I make handmade ornaments. Last year, in less than 4 weeks I sold over 12 dozen ornaments! It was sooo much fun I am selling them again this year. I promise you wont be disappointed! Please come and check out my Etsy page, also PLEASE talk to me about custom orders! So many options, and more to come.

Thanks!

Rant for the month...

I realized I have given up on blogging lately. For me its hard to write about something every day or every other day. I am not the greatest, but I do love to do it when I can. I am just really focused on getting my Etsy Shop running strong and getting new product to sell. Blogging is just something I like to do in my spare time, its nice, but at the same time it kinda sucks because not many people read my posts now. I want to thank all of the people who follow me and still encourage me to do what I can with my business. There is nothing I love more, than feedback and peoples support!

Right now I am at the point in my life where I am crying out to God for help. I have been struggling with so much and I am so blessed to have a great husband to back me up.

The last few months have been hard for me because I lost a ton of hours at work due to a back injury, not only that but my mom has been off for 2 months and my husband was off for a few days. We have been struggling to pay our bills or even buy ourselves really cheap food. Like right now, I have $1 to my name until thursday...I have never been so scared of how we are going to survive for 6 more days. I know I just have to keep reminding myself that God will supply all our needs!!!

So if anyone reads this, just keep us in your prayers. Hopefully I will find a new job soon, so that I won't have to worry about money problems anymore.

I know that there will always be issues with money but I really don't think that what I have been going through will continue. Right now my main goal is for me and my husband to FINALLY move out of my mothers house. Its kind of hard at the moment seeing as I am really behind in bills that I owe her and now that I don't have much money coming in its super hard. I wish I could explain this situation to everyone so I could get advice but I know its something that I have to just suck up and deal with.

Within the next few months I am going to be working super hard on putting items in my Etsy shop, that way I can have some sort of money, maybe, come in. Please take a look at it and add it to your "FAVORITES" so that you can see all the latest Kreations :)

Thank you!! - Kayla

Ok, so let's get to the party, shall we?

RULES are simple:

1. Follow your host via GFC

2. Follow your co-hosts via GFC

The Next 8 links below

3. Link up below using your main blog url not a specific post.

4. Make sure to visit some of the blogs in the link up and follow them via GFC 

and if you want to leave them a comment, I'm sure they'd appreciate that as well.

Losing Creativity?!

After this mad Christmas rush of ornament orders I feel like I am now stuck in a not-so-creative world. I feel like I have lost all creativity after all the hard work. I mean seriously what do you do in that type of situation?? I feel like I am stuck doing the same things over and over.

I look at all my stamps and embellishments and just feel like I have done it all before. I don't like creating things that I have all ready made, I don't like making 2 of the same cards unless my customer wants me too. I am the type of person where I want to create the best for my customers. I keep everything low in cost so everyone is able to afford them. All I want is to bring something new to my shop and something that will bring joy.

I think what I need to do is sit back and let God restore me and let the creative juices flow back through my veins ;) Only He can help me, and I know He will. Maybe there is something SO incredibly awesome in store for me that I have to wait a little while longer for.

Just a short rambling post ;)
