Hello, sweet friends! This won’t be a long post because I’m planning on writing another one this week (cross fingers, knock on wood, all those things), but I couldn’t WAIT to share the news with you!!
My Etsy shop is FINALLY OPEN AGAIN!! (If you didn’t realize I had put it down for a nap since last year, ignore my excitement. :))
I put my shop on “vacation mode” (not really because of a vacation) last year because of my mental health. I felt guilty that I didn’t have anything new to add to the shop, I felt all sorts of sad things and decided to take off the invisible pressure I had put on myself and simply put it on “vacation mode.” I would come back when I was feeling stronger and more motivated.
As you may have already read in previous posts, my mood, energy, happiness, etc. change frequently, day to day. I never know what I’m getting when I wake up in the morning. So, I’m taking charge of my future right this second as I am having a much better day than yesterday and last week and putting the rest of my canvas art up for sale on Etsy!! I’m thrilled to be able to offer them to people. I have already given away some of them to family and friends, or donated them, but there’s still a handful left. Just visit my Etsy shop to see them all, including behind the scenes photos, stories/descriptions that go with each painting, and…pricing….(the one part I hate about all this is the money…but, such is life if I’m going to move forward with my art).
And thank you, thank you, THANK YOU for the continued support over the years. If you had told me this is what I would be making even a year ago, I would not have believed you, truly.
Also, I will be researching mental health charities/non-profits that I can make a donation to with profits. If you know of any, please leave a comment! Thank you!
Big hugs and love to you all! Enjoy the beautiful weather (if you’re in Minnesota; if not, I hope you’re having sunshine and warmth, too! We deserve it!)
