Gosh, it's been a while since I've written. I have been so busy with preparing to open my shop. There are lots of little things to do that you don't think of until it gets down to the knitty gritty of all. Right now, I'm working on a label for my sweet sugar scrub. But, the most important thing is the camera. I've been out one for a few weeks (due to the fact that I have an antique digital & the one I borrowed from my parents um, well, broke- & I prayed Jesus would fix it, but that didn't happen. So, I had to fess up & admit the camera was caused damage while in my possession. I felt like a kid again, telling your mommy & daddy that you did something bad & you knew it would not make them happy. What a creepy feeling that was!). But, I have a birthday "surprise" arriving soon, I've been told. I'm pretty sure a camera is on its way to me! Oh joy & happiness!...Anyway, then I'm up late every night (which I usually am anyway), writing descriptions in MS Word of every product I have, figuring final pricing, finalizing the packaging for each item (which some WhiMSy love items didn't have to begin with), & then I have to go to the Post Office & calculate shipping. When pictures are taken to perfection, I can upload my photos, copy & paste all relevant info into my shop & then I'll be open for business! I am really excited! I love every part of it & some may think I am way too prepared. But I am kinda forced to be this way due to the whole camera thing. The whole tax/business stuff scares me, but I'll figure it out along the way...
