Revamp

I am determined that this year my business is going to grow. I have been reading alot in the etsy forums on how to create a successful online business, so I have been working to get things ticked off the list; starting a blog being one of them.

I have been redoing photos, and I am so pleased with the results. I still have a few more to work on, but there is definatly a huge improvement.


Once my new photos were sitting in my shop, i took a look at my banner. It looked SO bad! I had redone it only a couple of months before and had been really impressed with myself. But since putting up my new photos i kept looking at that banner and hating it the more I looked at it. So for the past couple of nights I have been working on a new one, and finally last night I created something I am really quite pleased with (for how long though, I don't know).

Family Outing by Gordonica, Dawanda

So Im blogging!

Well I am taking the plunge and starting a blog, I have been putting it off for a while, but as my business grows, I would like to share my experiences with the world.

Who am I then? I am Lucie, 27, living in Aberdeenshire. I live with my amazing fiance Frae, and our two young children Dylan (3) and Daisy (almost 18 months).

Other than looking after my little family and doing all the motherly duties, I make bright and funky jewellery and handmade cards, which I sell online.
