Boy has a lot of
exciting things happened in the past couple of months. First of all we found out we are
getting to lead another ETEAM this summer, to Uruguay and my parents are
leading the Jabaticabol, Brasil ETEAM as well. They have been wanting to lead a
team since I went on ETEAM the first time in 2007, but church camp has
always fallen in the middle of it. But this year ETEAM was pushed back a week
and church camp was pushed up a week so it worked out that they are getting to
lead. We are all so excited to be hearing in a few weeks who all of our
students are.
Well I took a big
step with my crafts a few weeks ago. I opened up a shop on Square Market
website. I was so nervous to do so, but took the plunge and its been great. The
reason I decided to do so is because I am making hats and all of the profits
will got to Matt’s parents for cancer bills and gas they have to use to get to
treatments. I don't think I mentioned it last time I posted; Matt’s mom was
diagnosed with Breast Cancer in June, while we were in Chicago with ETEAM. She
is doing really well, she had surgery the first week in August and started
treatment later in August. She is now half way done with treatment, which is
super because the first half was the very aggressive treatment and this second
half is supposed to be easier and she is supposed to start feeling more like
her self again. She has handled everything so well though and stayed on
schedule with her treatments, she is such a strong woman and fighter!! So I
decided to make hats that have a slit in them so you can interchange the
embellishments and give them all the profit made from them. Its been amazing to see the response to them, people I don't
even know have ordered hats from me, which led me to getting this website
store. People can pay through square and I can ship their item to them or if they live in
the Tulsa, OKC or Ada areas I can hand deliver them. Ill share the link and
pictures of the hats at the end of the post. So with this new website I had to
design a logo and that led me to being able to get business cards and I also
started up a Instagram account last night for just my crafts. It’s all so
exciting but nerve wracking at the same time. My family and
friends have been so supportive in this new adventure.
We moved into our
new apartment in October, we absolutely love it. It so much larger than our old
apartment and in a great location for us! We are all settled in (except for the
boxes of my stuff from college we brought home from Matt’s parents house a
couple of weekends ago) and we still need to hang things. But we are loving
living here!
Well I think that is
all the exciting things that have taken place over the past couple of months. Stay
tuned for updates on my website, I am going to be making some new products over
Thanksgiving break. I am so excited for the Holiday seasons that are upon us!!
Those are the hat color options and the following are some of the flower options, pricing and more options are on here.
