It's beginning to look a lot like......Winter!

And what better time to finally open up my Etsy shop as the snow and holidays are upon us here!!! Yup we got quite a bit of snow this past week, about 4 feet! It definitely put me in Christmas & crafting mode! :)



I've been busy creating all kinds of items for a local Art & Crafts event this weekend and decided to list a few items in my shop, I've got more I'm finishing up so they'll follow soon.

I can't believe that I joined Etsy over a year ago and just getting around now to listing some of my creations! It's a huge (scary) step for me to put something I've created out into the world no less with a price tag on it!! lol However, I am working my way confidently towards getting some original sketches or paintings up there in the new year too.

My shop is listed under lauratmdesigns but I've linked to my blog here and also have a new website for a tailored line in the works - phew! As much as I think I haven't progressed in my work/journey this past year, I do believe things happened as they should for me and in the process I realized this: what seemed like setbacks at times were really blessings in disguise :)

Hope you all find time to enjoy this wonderful season!
