Halloween & The Bad Blogger Hall of Shame

 
I think it's official. I should be inducted into the Bad Blogger Hall of Shame! My postings are not as fruitful as usual, and I haven't been doing a lot of visiting others. Sometimes life gets in the way and you have to set priorities. Plus, life has just been busy!

I'm still on that big creative streak so I've been doing a LOT of creating in the graphics department and the pattern department. I recently added a whole bunch of clipart, papers, and printable to my graphic shops. I'm actually putting the finishing touches on a pattern that I will be releasing in the next couple of days.

I'm also happy to say that sales at most of my shops have picked up quite a bit so I've been busy trying to get my books organized. I'm also creating a business plan with actual goals and plans. I created some new spreadsheets to help me keep my items organized as far as what shops I've uploaded what items, as well as what items are selling at all the shops combined so I know where to concentrate my efforts. I'm also looking at some new accounting software to start 2013 with. Right now I'm using spread sheets that I created myself.

I'm doing so well on my healthy changes and am proud to announce a 30 pound weight loss! It feels good to be back on track with my healthier (most of the time) eating and my commitment to exercise.

So, I do have more to tell you but I'll save it for another day. I hope you are all having SPOOKY HALLOWEEN!

Images above are from my "Funky Halloween" papers and clipart images that can be found at my Etsy Shop, Website, and Clipart Shop.

  2. Congrats on the healthy lifestyle and weight loss Sher! That is awesome!

    You are very busy, and I don't know how you do all that you do. It is nice to hear from you though ;) If you make anything crafty you have to share!

    Happy Halloween!

  3. Nope, I'm afraid you can't get in to the hall of shame if you have been being productive in your absence. Lots of things come before blogging and it sounds like you have been very busy

  4. Don't feel guilty. You have to set priorities. I will need to reduce my computer time to keep inventory levels high enough for Etsy plus craft shows. Happy for your success -- and CONGRATS on the 30-pound weight loss!!

  5. Bad idea! There is no way you can get into the hall of shame. Not blogging as much?! Tough - you have got a life that is filled with lots of good stuff. Congrats on your health commitment and on your shops doing so well!

    Your latest follower :)

  6. Wow, 30 pounds! Congrats Sher! I know it must have been a lot of hard work to get the weight off and I hope you continue feeling healthy and reach your goals! Also, yay that you've been creating more. That's always a legitimate excuse in my book for less blogging. :)
