researching and digging and researching...

i came to the conclusion today that if i could be a professional business organizer, i'd be a millionaire. i think i've spent more time researching, organizing, writing, etc etc for five dot than i have actually designing! in some ways i think it's my way of procrastinating and being afraid my ideas and designs will be rejected. so i continue to organize... and sadly i'm really good at it. do i have a new calling? what would oprah say? QUIT YOUR JOB AND FOLLOW YOUR STRENGTHS! no thank you. i'll stay put for awhile and keep my organizing strength to myself... unless someone wants to hire me :-)
i've been researching shops on etsy now for about 3 hours and i've only made it thru 6 whole shops- sweet jebus! i'm finding out such great information... and i still have another 25 or so shops to go thru by sunday nite. i'm mostly trying to get a feel for pricing, policies, offerings and printing method. i've chosen a good deal of shops that i consider to be comparable to my own style, so i'm hoping all this information will be appropriate to my re-opening and how i structure things.



... and i do all of this while the hubz watches shrek 3 "with" the nugget.


here's a little sneak peek of a little something i'm working on...

not very telling, but that's half the fun!
be on the look out for a give away soon!
