Happy New Year to all who read this! :)
I am writing this about three hours before the new year start in West Indonesia. 2010 has been quite an amazing year for me. This year I got to watch my stubborn little princess to turn from one to two, getting chattier by the month. And my boy grew taller (and less chubby) into a four and a half year old boy. My! I couldn't believe he will turn FIVE next June.
I started my Etsy shop in March, got my first sale ever a few days later. And only managed to have the next sale in October (that was like... seven month later!). So after that one sale in March, I had two sales in October, three in November, and... five in December? Nah, I had a total of 45 sales now, so that's 39 sales in December. I am so grateful, and any of you who read this has been (or hopefully, still is) my customer, I want to say a huge THANK YOU for purchasing my art. I've gone through quite a lot of 'down' times this year, and every sale has been a tremendous encouragement for me to move on.
I plan to write more next year (that's starting tomorrow, ehm), but not very sure if I can because my priority would still be filling up the shop and attending to all my dear customers. And I just lose my part-time assistant (who help out with the housechores) today. So yeah, looks like I need to be realistic. I will try to share what I has learned during my journey along the way, but... yeah, I'll just take it one step at a time.
Thank you for reading this. Thank you for visiting the shop. Thank you for believing in my art and in me. I wish you all the very best in your journey next year. Happy New Year!
