They Heart Me!

On etsy.com other sellers and buyers can "heart" your whole store or one item. I now have my first three hearts! I got one for my store one for my "One Rockin Album" scrapbook and one for my "Little Princess" scrapbook. I'm so excited! They heart me, they really heart me!

Hello Blog World!

They say "never say never" but I can't seem to learn that sage piece of advice. With my kids I'm constantly doing those things that, before having kids, I said I would never do, and now I'm at it again. I've always said "I will never have a blog!" Well, now I've opened an online store and I'm wanting to help promote it. I also thought it would be fun to keep track of the trials and tribs of starting a new business. For years I've daydreamed about being able to sell the things I make and now I've finally gotten brave enough to take the plunge! Hopefully a year from now I will be looking back on the beginning from a successful little shop. I'm also planning on showing off the work of other artists and crafty people from the etsy community.

So, what am I making and selling you ask? I am making premade scrapbooks and Memory Catchers for all those busy people in the world who want to preserve their memories but just don't have the time to do it themselves. My scrapbooks are full of great papers and embellishments and my Memory Catcher sets allow you to jot down notes of important memories and collect special items without the time and effort it takes to make a scrapbook. I'll also be making other paper crafts, like greeting cards. You can check out my store at thebeehive.etsy.com and if you like what you see, please, spread the word! I'm hoping to be adding new items to my shop every few days so keep checking back.
