Holiday Update

Season's Greetings all! 
 It's been a chaotic holiday season so far. I finally got all the presents wrapped and finished the dollhouse for my granddaughter. I have also been working on a few more boxes and setting up for the next year's creative adventures. 
Recently I received an email from one of the folks who set up all the conventions like Monster-Con. Apparently the small incorporated city in which the venue is located has decided to start charging vendors a fee to sell there, along with the large fee we already pay to the convention service. Added to what I pay for booth space this fee makes it financially untenable for me to continue doing these conventions. I am sad, but I know there are plenty of other conventions around the area, so I will be looking into those as the year starts. 
My Etsy shop isn't doing as well as I would've hoped, so I am looking for ways to boost it as well. 
That's about it for now. Have a Merry Christmas everyone!

Update on new directions

Good morning folks! Hope you're having a great day :)  I'm sitting here in the studio with the heater going, making plans for the next week or so. I have a few new things I will be working on, hopefully. I want to work on another box, this one for my daughter for Christmas, plus I want to make a huge batch of bath salts and scrub bars. I am thinking of putting those and some soaps into my shop. The other thing I am looking at doing is clearing out a bunch of vintage and antique pieces I have in storage and getting those into the shop as well. I looked into a brick and mortar store space rental this past week, but the costs are too high for me right now. I need to get the Etsy shop going before I think of a rental.
 Well, I know it's a short post, but I am going out of town to pick up some things I won in an auction on Thursday, so I need to get moving.
 Have a great weekend all!
