Retirement Recovery

I was forced into retirement in April and the past few months have been "interesting" for me.  First, I was pretty mad that I had to retire, but I knew that God has a plan so I let go of that feeling pretty quickly.  For the first month I spent my focus on my "honey do" list.  You know, the things you always put off until "someday".  Well, the list is long and although I thought I would be done in a month, no way!  It took me a full two months just to get through about 25% of my list.  And, the more time I spend at home the more things I add to the list!

I did take time to think about my future and even though I am retired from my original career, I am not done working!  I want to craft, run an online craft supply website, sell my cards and mini albums, and maybe even post some tutorials, but truthfully it is harder than I thought.  So, that will remain a hobby with random sales now and then.

Meanwhile I am consulting with small business owners and dabbling in online sales via Ebay.  Pretty Eclectic, but that's me!

Here's a link to a new website I started building.  I am making custom mini albums and will post videos and order forms.  If you'd like me to make a custom album for you, be sure to check it out!

Have a wonderful day!
