The end is near

 of summer vacation that is. Teachers are due back next Monday, which means this is my last week of freedom. It's been a good summer. I've said before that last year was rough and it was true. I've spent the summer just relaxing and working on things I want to work on and that has been amazing. I just started to get bored last week so it's time to go back. 

I have done a lot of work on my business. I got my Etsy store up and running and have made a few sales. Yesterday I approached some of my friends about 'purchasing' something from my shop. My plan was for them to purchase something, send it to them, then refund their money. In return they would post a good review on Etsy for me. So I sent out a few messages and the overwhelming response was that they would buy something from me. What??? That was so awesome of them. So I had 4 orders come in yesterday, 3 from friends and one real order. I watched an Etsy shop review and one of the things the reviewer said was that you need at least 5 sales and 5 reviews. So that's what I'm after. If every one who got a cup writes a review I will hit that golden 5. If they don't I keep trying. So I feel like I tackled the Etsy monster, now it's time to take on the Amazon beast. 

But today it's time for school. I got all new tables and chairs 2 weeks ago, so I'm off to get my room rearranged and set up. I also have to put some vinyl up on my boards and just generally get things arranged so that I'm ready to go. I don't want to be doing that next week when we have meetings all week. 

Alright, it's time to get moving. I have to shower, walk the dog, load my car and get moving. Oh, I should get some breakfast too. I'm off.
