Snow days...

Well, not being able to go very far over the last couple of days, you'd think i would have got lots done....but no! I've listed a lovely new jewellery box on Folksy, it's here for you to look at....

I've started tweeting too...it takes a bit of getting used to, telling the world about your life!
My order finally arrived, so i have some lovely jewellery trees to get started on , and some paper mache animals.
I have been reading up on marketing too...i think i could quite easily spend a day on the internet finding different ways to promote The Orchid Room, and my coaching business, which will be launched in the new year. IT based marketing seems to be the way forward....the key is getting organised. So, two blogs a week on here i think, a tweet as often as i can :)
I have a craft fair on the 18th December...need to get cracking!
Until Sunday peeps....'You don't have to be great to get started but you have to get started to be great'-Les Brown...what will you start today??

Sunday morning lie-ins;love them!

Sunday morning, roast is in the oven, time for a quick blog before i put the potatoes on to roast!
The life coaching course went well, and i passed my assessment; next step is setting up my business-deciding on my market (which came to me in  a flash the other night), then getting a website, business cards etc sorted...then approaching clients. Take it one step at a time :) I am discussing ideas about a women's self development workshop with a friend and associate; our first joint venture, let's hope it's the first of many!

This weeks offering is this beautiful jewellery box. It's rather lovely-lightweight wood, painted gold inside and varnished, with an attractive gold swirl pattern and silver coloured clasp. The underside has been decoupaged too; seamless luxury :)

The craft fair booked for this week was cancelled by the organisers, but it gives us more time to get organised. I have decided to stock some Decopatch supplies too and sell those- it's a hobby that is taking off :) 

This week i am remembering to not be afraid to ask for advice; identifying successful people and emulating their style is a recipe for progress!
