Update on Boutique!

I have been slacking in the department of keeping up with my online boutique!  Shame on you, Erika!  However!  All of that is changing!  I am currently working on some new projects and beginning a new technique for the earrings to get much more wear and tear out of them!  If you haven't been to the site yet, please check it out here!  I have great stuff for family, friends, coworkers, you name it!  Here is a preview of what you would see on the site... All of the earrings are uniquely named so that they are easier to identify. 



"Egyptian Goddess"                                     "Ready to Hoop?"

"Victorian Charm"                                           "The Chandelier"











Make sure that you stop by TODAY and order a pair.  Also, check out my Facebook page, as I will be having a giveaway for the New Year!  Comment below and/or on my Facebook page if you think I should do a monthly giveaway!  Details of the giveaway and rules will be on my page by 5:00pm EST TODAY!

Peace & Happiness!

Entrepreneurship

So the whole reason for me starting a blog is that my mind runs like an open app (you might see me say this a MILLION times but that's the whole purpose of saying my mind is like an open app) Any who, I have been on Entrepreneur.com for the last two days and looking at low budget ideas I could do to start up my own business from home.  Although I am working on a doctoral degree, my goals in life is to be a housewife, but a working one from home.  I love the fact that I can stay at home with my children, run around and do errands, shop, be domestic, and not have to worry about the stresses of a 9:00-5:00.  Well, in my case now a 7:30-5:15, Monday through Friday.  And the crazy thing about that thought is....I don't even have kids yet!  But the early bird gets the worm right?!  So I'm thinking ahead.  One of my new found interest that I have come across is sewing and reupholstering furniture.  The good thing about that is I will have time to shop in thrift stores and consignment shops for the best item.  The bad thing is I have little sewing skills!  I took a beginners sewing class back in June and it turned out to be easier than I expected.  However, I have yet to buy a sewing machine; hopefully that's in the works around Christmas time. *fingers crossed*  With that being said, I think I will take my entrepreneur skills and plans into the New Year and have that be one of my New Year's Resolutions:  to begin sewing and starting a small business making small moves.  I read a really good article on Entrepreneur.com that talked about ditching your billion-dollar business ambitions....click here for the story.  I will also be helping my soon-to-be hubby make some moves on a landscaping/lawn business.  I can say that 2013 has been a good year for me thus far, but I see 2014 opening more doors than I could have ever expected!  Thank you Lord! :)
