I cannot believe we are at the half way point! It has been a whirlwind of a year and the change of pace is very welcome. I am tunnel focused on growing my business and turning it into a profitable full time job - hopefully! I have many new and exciting opportunities on the horizon, some of which I won't speak to yet but all exciting and making me spread me wings.
Next week, I am off to Milwaukee, WI for the 10th annual Bead & Button Show. I have been working like a mad woman for the last month - I was fortunate to be offered a booth space from a cancellation that came up. This will be the largest show I have done and I am excited and nervous all at the same time. My daughter is going with to help out so I am most grateful to have her to see me through and keep me company. Wish me luck - Milwaukee or bust!

I was in Milwaukee 2 years ago for two days and didn't have time to go to the show, I was so bummed. Next time I go to visit my brother I'm scheduling it for that weekend. When we were there we saw a tornado going up alongside the road. That was my excitement for the weekend.
ALSO!! Great good luck with making your jewelry your full time job. I've been doing it for three years now. Lots of paper work and long hours but I enjoy everything. I couldn't be happier. You can do it Heidi, you sell the best findings on etsy and your jewelry is over the top wonderful. xoxo Pink
I am in vacation holiday for summer and I am really excited to know that what I found here are very essential for my get away!
