I opened an Etsy Shop: Little Sloth

This is so exciting! I opened a Etsy shop last night around 5pm. My shop is called Little Sloth and is full of hand-drawn cards for every occasion. I was thinking I would open at the end of February but I decided that I couldn't wait any longer. And I might as well get the ball rolling sooner then later.
Let me tell you a little bit about the story behind my shop. I have always loved hand making cards for people on their birthday's or for a special day. I used to do all of this will scrape-booking material. Then I started playing around with designing cards in photoshop. But you see I have never been good at drawing like ever! So I decided I needed to practice my drawing, I mean after all practice makes perfect right? That's what I did, I drew and erased and erased some more. I am very please with the graphics I have drawn and come up with. Each new card I print out and get to hold with my two hands makes it so much more excited to make handmade goodness! 

I am so proud of my shop. I know it has only been one day. But it is exciting to have something that I can call my own and be super proud of. Anyways I hope you check out my shop and like its Facebook page! Have a SUPER Monday. (I am excited can you tell?)
love, Carlee
