In 2011, once I'm finished making my first shop the best it can be, I will be opening a second shop. What my products will be is still to be announced but the target audience will be toward etsy sellers. I'm currently in the process of developing my products and I'm hoping that my new shop will open for business in March. This is a very big goal since I still have so much to do with my wallet business.
Anyways, I've been working very hard on Cool Kid Designs and I'm hoping that some changes will help generate more sales. I have a a ton of new products coming very soon including more cardholders and trifolds! I'm hoping to have at least 50 items by the end of January.
Also, I will be editing this blog very soon to match my shop and it will soon include links to all of the promotional threads I'm part of.
Happy New Year!

2011 Shop Goals and What I did for Christmas
My list is quite long since I have a long way to go, but here goes:
My main goal is to start making more sales-I'd ideally like to make at least one per day. But, In order for that to happen, I need to have a lot of mini goals:
-Take better pictures
-Have at least 3 pages of items
-Open up a Second Shop (information to be announced-still have a lot of work to do!)
I have a whole lot more-but I don't want to bore anyone. :)
This Christmas, my family celebrated a day early because we were traveling on Christmas the next day. On Christmas, we got an early start and went to the airport and flew to Boston to visit my family, since most live up there. When we got there, we exchanged gifts and then played WiiParty. It was a lot of fun. After, we had a family Scrabble Tournament while we waited for my brother to arrive (he was visiting his father and other siblings). Then, we had other people over for a bit and after most of them left, we had a fantastic Christmas Dinner with the family and a family friend. After, we had dessert, which was fantastic. Then, we continued our tradition where we all watch an inappropraite movie with everyone (including parents and grandparents-so awkward). Last year, we watched the Hangover. This year, we watched Get Him to the Greek. We couldn't even finish the movie. It was wrong on so many levels. Unfortunately, our trip was cut short because of a blizzard warning in Boston. So again we got an early start and went to the airport to try and get out before being snowed in. We were standby so we didn't get on the first flight. Since the next flight wasn't until 3, we went to Faneul(sp?) Hall for while and ate lunch. Then we headed back to the airport to try again. We were very lucky to get on that flight since the late flight was already cancelled. It was a bumpy ride home, but when I got back I found that Charlotte had some snow as well!
