Creativity and Etsy!

So recently I have started using my creativity to make some of the many things on my Pinterest page.  These items have all been placed for sale on Etsy.  I have enjoyed making these fun items and look forward to adding more as things start moving.  I have several different items listed on the page already and have a few items I plan on creating over the next few weeks.  

I plan to do a blog post of items on my blog at least once a week on this page. I plan to start posting items next week and it will be an every Sunday post. I am always looking for new ideas for fabrics and bracelet ideas. My goal is to base every item in my shop around books, fandoms and well older looking items.

I have an array of blankets, bracelets, cell phone charms and magnets listed right now. I have a ton of other items I am preparing to finish this week and post. If you want to check out my store before I start posting on the page then feel free to check out the store here:

Life...

So I know this blog isn't as used as it used to be, but I haven't had much to say as nothing out of the ordinary has happened to me in years.  But I wanted to share with you some of my goals for the rest of this year.  First a few things I have been up to lately.

At the start of June all of my things went into storage and I moved back in with my family in order to pay of debt.  Not gonna lie that isn't going as well as I had hoped.  However, I can't make my next move until at least one of the debts are paid off, preferably the car loan.  I am working hard to come up with ways in order to pay it off sooner than the 23 months that my statement says it will take.  I did have one of my credit cards paid off but then I used it again...lol...but it is almost paid off again so that's okay.  Not to mention I had some medical bills pop up and I have been paying those off.

I have been getting a lot of writing in this year so far.  I have finished a couple books and am now in the rewrites stage of them.  I am on a second rewrite of one of them.  One day soon I might actually have one completely finished I think.

In other news, I have started working hard on expanding my book blog.  I have tickets to a book con next weekend in St. Louis but I don't know if I will make it as I should be spending the money on bills instead of hotels, gas and food.  I do however have a ticket to the Fierce Reads event in Pittsburgh at the beginning of October.  All the tickets were free so I am not losing any money on the tickets for St. Louis.  I also have my name in for a ton of ARC's (Advanced Reader Copies) from several different publishers.  I hope to get copies of them all, but this kind of thing is hit or miss.  I am being more focused on my blog now that I am in need of more things to help me relax when I get home.

I am still struggling to get used to having people around 24 -7 I can't stand it.  I used to be able to sit in silence and relax when I got home after being around people all day.  I am one of those people that needs her space and I haven't had that since June, so I am getting more and more aggravated with life as the days go by.

Now for my goals for the rest of this year:

Pay off debt (as much as possible as quickly as possible)

Figure out where my next move will be

Find a job in said area I want to move to

Make the book blog great again
