All Wrapped Up In....

I'm all wrapped up in many things, sometimes I feel trapped in a creative Schizophrenic body. I'm trying to start a new business selling jewelry that I make, I'm getting close. I guess its taken so much time I want the launch to be just right.

I'm also a nanny who hangs out all day with three kids and Gillian the 9 year-old is also creativly driven. She and I are a great team and we love being crafty together. We bounce ideas off each other and have so much fun making all sorts of crafts. The greatest compliment we give each other is "That looks like you bought it at the store!" I love it! I just happen to find it really distracting when I'm trying to concentrate on working on my business. This week I wised up and brought my jewelry making supplies to work. I was extremely productive and made a lot of items to sell. The girls loved it and I'm working for my new business and having fun with them at the same time. Natalie who is 4 is the girliest girl I've ever met has been helping me pick out colors and loves touching everything.

Since I brought all my supplies to work Gillian has become my assistant. She wants to make all the jewelry for girls her age or younger. She is so excited and has really gotten into it. I have three items to sell made by her and I have enjoyed seeing her excited about her creations.
