THANK YOU

To all of you that voted for me all week over at Saturday Mornings.
Thank you for all your support and putting up with me whining all week about voting for me.
Sadly I have to report that I did not win, I did come in as the 2 ND runner up though, that's not bad considering that I just started my blog and posting picture's on my blog recently.
THANK'S AGAIN!

NEED HELP!!!!!!! I SURE do NEED ADVICE and CRITIQUES on my Blogging Store and Blog!

Good afternoon!
I spent my entire Sunday on my other blog that I created as a selling blog store, it will make it a lot easier for customer's that don't want to sign up for shopping at my other store's.
I find that alot of people don't want to take the time to create an account just to shop. When they want something they just want it right now! But you can all still shop at my other store's too. : ).


Okay back to the original idea behind this post: I created a store you can find it here. Wreaths and More Decor's Selling Blog Store.
I'am still adding more item's for sale. It takes alot of time and I have work later today, I will be adding more stuff to my store as soon as I can.
My biggest problem is I have no followers for my store........
I don't have hardly any followers over here at this blog so I guess how can I expect a big following over at Wreaths and More Decor's Selling Blog Store. Need advice on how to create a following and get some customer's to my store.
So please feel free to leave some advice and critique me (I dont care if it is good or bad) in my comments!

CRAFT/STUDIO PART THREE

I know this is getting old, hearing about this shed project.

But it did take a couple of month's to get finished. Because we had had wait for stuff to dry and wait for the weather sometimes it rained and with it being outside sometimes it took longer for the mud to dry and then we couldn't sand it. 

Right after it was finished

My ribbon center

"OH NO I left the door open and a "little lamb" crawled right in!

My niece on her first Halloween!

New shelves we are working on more baskets and more shelves

I really need another shed

Flower totes

I am buying more of this canvas baskets

Then we had to pick the carpeting also and then Tom laid that down.This is still a work in progress and as we finish more I will post the updates. Thanks for taking the time to read my ramblings!

HOW I GOT MY NEW CREATIVE SPACE "AKA" MY CRAFT STUDIO/SHED

PART ONE : I never really had an actual space to work on my craft's. For year's I would just sit at the kitchen table or dining room table. That was when I used to paint I love to paint ceramic's or plaster craft's. We have a whole "SLEW" of Christmas decorative plaster crafts. I would paint the ornament's for my  Christmas tree. 

Crafts every where!

This was my "quiet" time that I would be off all by myself after my son would go to sleep. My hubby would fall asleep in his chair and I would sneak off to my little corner of the house, but I was not alone I had my two furbabies laying under my feet!
I eventually stopped painting don't really know why, but I then started doing latch hook rugs and then paint by numbers but I had to stop that because it started to get really hard to see those numbers, (I am sure alot of you know what I mean) LOL.

Totes of flowers

But about two year's ago my son moved out and I was feeling that "EMPTY NEST" so I suggested to my hubby that I would like to start a wreath business online because on our local news that had talked about ETSY. Tom (my hubby) told me to go for it and he would help out in any way that he could.

So much stuff

 We just happened to have an "EMPTY" room so I decided to fill it up with all my craft stuff and I hung wreaths all over the walls as I finished them. My mom is also involved with the making of the wreath's. We get together a couple times a week or a month and we "CRAFT" and talk and just have a wonderful time together. These are the moment's that I will alway's treasure!
So anyway's my son decided that he wanted to go to school and he would not be able to do that and live out on his own, so he came back home which was really great except for the fact that now I had to figure out what to do with all this stuff! As you can see there was alot!
Well I moved it all downstairs to my dining room and it looked like I belonged in that show "THE HOARDERS" and it was kinda swallowing my hubby up because that is where he has his computer.

Picture#1 SHED

Stuff

Work area

Well we lived with that for about a month and we were out at the store and walked by one of those really nice sheds made out of wood and had planter boxes and I jokingly said oh look "Kellie's Craft Shack" ha! ha!. And Tom's eyes lit up and said oh yeah that is a great idea. I was only joking when I said it. So we decided to buy one and it didn't get installed until late August. We painted the outside of it to kinda match our house so it would not look to out of place in our yard, because it is not a big yard.We had a lot of work ahead of us. Picture #1 is what it looked like after we painted it on the outside.These pictures  are of the inside before we drywalled and insulated the inside.Which that was a big job and it was so hot in there with the sun beating down I felt like I was melting because I have not liked the heat for a few years now. So when the drywall was up we then painted it a bright and cheery yellow.

ROUGH WALLS!

 This is the end of part one of this post..........

Busy Trying to create this blog....

I have been busy trying to create this blog. For the longest time I kept putting off blogging because I figured who would want to know what I 'am doing and also I 'am not really sure I can actually write a blog!

But everyone kept saying that blogging was what you need to do, to advertise. I don't know what do you think? Good idea? or Bad idea?

I have been checking out other blog's to see how to create and set one up. I hope I have done a good job so far. It would be really helpful if I could get some input on what I'am doing "wrong" or what I'am doing "right"

so please feel free to "critique" me!

New Project......Not really sure I like how it turned out.......What do you think?

 I have been seeing these wreath's around and I thought they were very pretty, and so I decided to order the materials and try and create one.
It was very easy to work with.
But I'am not really pleased with the way it turned out.
