The Time I sold at a Craft Fair.

Since we've been talking about dreams. I thought I would share one with you guys.

The possibility of having my own business.

(Not entirely sure what this will look like yet)

This past week I participated in my first ever craft fair. 

It was good experience although it did make me incredibly nervous, I was freaking out a little while setting everything up.

I have never had to sit there and try and sell the things I've made before so pricing items was hard, especially since I had to think about the area in which I was selling. 

I will admit that I am all about the behind-the-scenes making part and less about the selling part.

Maybe I need someone to sell my items for me and I'll just make them ;) 

It was fun seeing people interested in my accessories. I didn't sell my prints this time.

It was so time consuming getting the stock ready to run a table, that's why I've been a little MIA lately. 

I am also dividing my shop just for future reference, in case you were interested.

My prints will remain on Etsy here.

The Jewellery and other items will be moving over to Storenvy here.

Come see what I have, the rest should be up by the end of the week.

They make great stocking fillers! 

What do you think? Which do you prefer to sell on?

Any of you participated in craft fairs before?

Much Love,

Influence Conference.

Conference Website: http://www.theinfluenceconference.com/

Hosts:

Jessi:  www.naptimediaries.com

Hayley:  www.thetinytwig.com

Casey:  www.thewiegands.com

So I am a little bit late discussing here about a very important blogging event coming up. 

Its going to be one of those events that everyone talks about after it happens, its going to be epic and 'you're going to totally wish you were there and kick yourself if you don't go' type things.

If you've been around the bloggy world, chances are you've already heard of the conference.

If not...you should have! 

Now at first I was a little skeptical after hearing several sweet girls talk about a bad experience from a different event. 

But since the lovely Casey Wiegand is one of the hosts ~ I'm all in.

Mostly.

The conference still remains a dream of mine for now. There's where I'm hoping lovely people like you guys will come in. 

If you've hung around for longer than a few minutes on my blog, I hope you've discovered that I'm hopelessly in love with Jesus.

I'm not perfect but I want my life to be all about Him.

How does the conference come in? Well see the whole point of Influences is to learn how to use your influence to make Christ known. 

And girl, that's my whole point. For blogging at all.

Around the time the announcement for the conference was made, a sweet friend of mine emailed me. I haven't seen her in years but lately we have been corresponding again and praying for one another. I was so challenged by one of her prayers for me....

that the Lord would grow me in humility in every role He has me in. That I would use my influence to really love others and showcase His love to them.  

Then the conference was announced.

You think I would have heard this message loud and clear. Even then I was skeptical, even though of all the places to pick to host the event, it is only four hours away from where we live. 

Another coincidence? I don't believe in them.

God is lining things up left, right and center for me to possibly go to this conference. There are four amazing girls I have met through blogging and never thought it was possible to make lifelong friends through a blog. But sure enough they have continued to encourage me that this dream is possible and that dreams come true. 

I really feel this dream might come true. 

So....I am trusting that financially I will raise the money in time. Some days this requires all the faith I have and then some.

So without further delay I want to show you my new Etsy lines, where all the money from my Etsy store will go into my Influence fund to help attend this conference and learn how to blog to shine for Jesus. So if you need a gift for someone, consider buying from my Etsy store. 

I can't wait to learn from these gifted ladies about how to use my influence to make much of Jesus. If I do manage to go, I will totally blog all about it!! Obviously. 

{There is also a Paypal option on my sidebar, just in case anyone wants to donate to my Influence fund} 

Want to join me on this adventure? I would love to see you there. 

Can't wait to meet you in person girl!

I'll be the one with the silly grin on my face.

Much Love,

Glorious Spring & Etsy Surprise.

I apologize for not posting on Monday this week, friends.

I have been struggling to get well after having a really bad flu bug. Sounds like the never-ending excuse but unfortunately it is true.

I am feeling much better this evening, finally after a day of unbelievably painful stomach cramps. 

My poor sweet husband ending up watching the 2 kids I was caring for today =)

He is amazing.

So hopefully my body is finally healing. I no longer have the flu or the sinus infection that followed.

So hopefully I can start working out again this week.

I don't think I shared my goal for working out. 

During lent I wanted to give up 'not exercising'....

I don't usually give up things for Lent but I used it as motivation to kick my own butt into getting into shape. 

So I started the Jillian Michael's six week six-pack. As it is mainly my abs that needed work.

I saw results after just a week. I don't do it every day as this started to give me bad joint problems. So I work out for 3 days, then take a day off. Then do 3 more and a day off.

I did stop while I was sick and have struggled to start again with all the other viral problems that followed.

My plan is to work out for 40 days (I figured this was roughly six weeks of intense workout with maybe a day off a week). So I am on day 14.....after about a 10 day break, which was unplanned.

Just thought I would share.

And leave you with some beautiful pictures of the blossom trees in our neighbourhood.

A & I went for a walk and enjoyed looking at them all.

I think the white ones look like giant cottonballs on trees.

I have added several to my Etsy store which you can buy as prints.....
