Betty's Only has been Doing Many Things

Like my other blogs, I haven't posted in a long time.  Somewhere along the way, I lost sight of what was important to me and the things that I found joy in.  My personality is vibrant, but I am modest at the same time.  I have never done I craft show, or sold them in bulk.  I stepped out and asked a friend of mine would she be interested in a fundraiser to support her dancers and my candles.  She agreed, so here we are today. 

I have been making candles for the last few months and I am so proud to be able to say that.  This is what I have always wanted to do.  Sell my candles and give back to the community.  Working with Tamela Thompson, has allowed me to do that.  Passion Works Dance studio along with Fort Middle School Bellette's are selling Betty's Only Candles to support their teams.  For this I am very thankful!

This has give me the boost I needed.  I also made a banner out of the business card in case I do a craft show.  As a matter of fact, I will sell same candles at Passion Works Winter Showcase.  Again, I am so thankful, people come into your life for a reason and I receive it! 

Looking to building a website to sell Betty's Only candles.  Everything happens in due time, when the time is right and you are ready!  I can' t explain it, things are moving forward and good things are happening.  Going to ride this wave!

So Much to Do and I will Get it Done

I have been using Twitter. Check me out at www.twitter.com/bettysonly. For those of you that don't know it is a social networking site that only allows you to give short posts. You can make friends and they follow you. I have learned much. The internet is vast and I am willing to learn all it has to offer.

As for Betty's Only, www.knuckleheader.com created my logo for me. I used her when she was on Etsy. I love my header and she created two of them for a reasonable price. Now that Betty's Only is up and running I need a brochure to corlate with my logo. Everything needs to relate and Betty's Only needs a face. So, I went to www.etsy.com/knuckleheader and she was not active, but had the knuckleheader.com link on Etsy so I have sent an email to ask about creating a brochure that coincides with the logo. I have created my own business card. I may ask for her to design that too. There will be no problem getting them printed, I just need them designed. My plate is full during the day and sometimes I can not think straight. I need to focus and organize my daily life. I feel like I may need to take a break and just get my thoughts together. Slow down. I am looking forward to hearing from her. Hopefully she can assist me with this, because the time is now for Betty's Only to get out there.

What has been Going On

It has been almost a month since I have posted something about Betty's Only. Honestly, things are still the same. I have been getting orders for specific candles for various occasions, but no sales on Etsy. I haven't been to the consignment store due to being out of town. So the status of that endeavor I don't know. While out of town someone contacted me from Miami about putting some candles on consignment in his families liquor store. That seems to be very interesting. I am unaware of how he found out about my company. That really doesn't matter, just getting the word out about Betty's Only is what I want to do. I did respond to him, but now I am waiting to hear back. If I don't hear from him by Monday I will give him a call. With going out of town, I enjoyed myself to the max, but it did throw things off financially. I have to get it together.

As for Etsy, I haven't updated it in a while well over 2 months I think. I can say that I do have a problem and that is sticking to something anything. My attention span sometimes is as long as a grain of rice. For real, but at least I know that about myself.

Since I have the candles of consignment I have few candles available at home. I have to complete a couple of candles today and I will make more and update my Etsy. It is crazy, reading my previous posts. There are things I said I would do and haven't. All I can say about that is life happens. I must make the most out of it and do the best I can with what I am given. Still strive to achieve more.
