Celebrating

Okay, so it only makes sense that I share my good news with y'all.  I sold my first product on Teachers Pay Teachers today!  I am a fairly new shop owner there, and I have been waiting (somewhat impatiently my husband says) for my first product to sell.  My oldest daughter has been watching me make products and fine-tune the blog.  She asks every day, "Did you sell anything yet?  Did we make a million?"  Notice how "I" am the single seller, but when it comes to money, all of a sudden her pronouns turn to "we."  It was very fitting that she was the one who saw the icon come up on my iPhone that said I had sold something.  She also told me I get to have the "You Are Special" plate.  I bought one a few years ago and use it for my girls when they have accomplished something.  Tonight, I got to use it!

I am also celebrating the fact that the new design on the blog was custom made by me!  Now I know that it looks homemade, but hopefully, this is the first step in creating a blog that is fantastic looking and not paying too much money to get it!  My new favorite web tool is PicMonkey.  There are some great blogs out there that show you how to use it.  Using the website and some great tutorials, I made the background that you see and the header all by myself (can't stress that enough)!  I have, for now, used all of the free tools, but may pay to upgrade later on.  Check it out and let me know what you think!

Have a great week all!
