It’s raining pins and buttons! I’m finally making more progress. I’ve got stickers, buttons and even more mask. I’m practically in tears at the moment. I know I've done stickers and pins for years before I had to take a break for a year, but this is by far one of my best collections. I can hardly wait to continue expanding my collection. I’ve picked some of my favorite pieces to start out with. I will slowly being adding more designs over time and bundle packs are also available for the stickers. I plan on having bundles for buttons and sticker/button bundles.
I just have to take more photos before I can do that. All the picture taking is the time consuming part of having an art shop. No one really ever talks about just how long that can take. It’s worth it in the end though, I am so happy to be able to share all the hard work I‘ve been putting in this year.
It’s hard to look back and see how much I’ve gotten done this year while also being so insanely busy at my day job. My boyfriend has been so incredibly supportive even with all my wild and crazy ideas.
This year has been insanely hard for everyone, 2020 after all just won’t let us have a break. The virus has been a nightmare, manufacturers have been beaten to a pulp as more people start their own shops, shipping has been at times near impossible, and we won’t even get into the madness that is going, here, in the US. Many times this year I’ve heavily considered giving up and leaving my art career behind because it just felt like things were all going against me. Yet, here I am, I made it past them. Yes, my plans had to make a few changes. I had to do things like go back to my old Etsy store to help with extra sales until I am fully up and running, I had to put my shirt designs on hold because...of course I had terrible timing with adding them. I had to wait months because I was slow and couldn’t decide what I was doing. i genuinely went to add the designs the same day the third party manufacturer restricted their site to new sale items because they couldn’t keep up. Oh, I was livid!
What a year this has been is all I can really say. I don’t really know what else to say, my mind is just spinning. So much has happened and so much more is in the works. I genuinely can’t believe it. Thank you everyone for your support. It means the absolute world to me that you even take the time to even look at my stuff.
