~New Year, New Goals?~

Some may think that with the New Year comes goals and resolutions.  Others might ring in the new year with the same goals as the last and yet others believe that new years resolutions just never work!  

With that said, I don't make resolutions.  I believe goals are much easier to obtain.  My goals this year for my card shop is to sell, sell, sell!  Selling cards on etsy and artfire is not my full time job and is a hobby for me.  It's a creative outlet and a favorite past time.  If I make any money at all I end up using my profit for more supplies!  I get so excited when I sell one item. 

Hopefully my shop sales with go up soon because I really am running out of storage space for all my new card creations. :-)  If not my friends and family will be getting a bunch of freebies soon. Of course if you see something you like from my shop put it in your shopping cart, rarely do I make the same design twice.

Thanks for stopping by my blog and...

Happy 2009 From Seattle!

My First Post

My first post! I should be so proud that I've finally jump started my blog. I guess I should start out telling you a little bit about myself. My name is Jenna and I live in Issaquah, WA just outside the big city of Seattle. I am a Washington native, born and raised. Currently I work in real estate and love helping people buy and sell their homes. My hobbies include cooking, reading, scrapbooking, gardening, spending time with family/friends, and cardmaking!

I love papery things and have a huge collection which I use to create my masterpieces (at least I think each card is a masterpiece!).

I joined http://www.etsy.com/ back in February of 2007 but have recently started to make a small business out of selling my paper creations.

Most of my business comes from family and friends. The support from them has been great. I am looking to expand my business out into the world so don't be afraid to link to my blog or etsy website: http://www.cardsbyjenna.etsy.com/ / http://www.cardsbyjenna.blogspot.com/.
