First Time Blog

Okay, so this is fun so far. Still not too sure what all a blog is or why anyone would care to read my posting. Guess I will consider it a type of diary for my daughters, not that they are old enough yet to read.

Reason for starting this is to help me with my new small business. People keep asking me how I got into sales of gifts and such. That is not a simple answer.  In general I was looking for a way to help cover the bills. I work full time and so does my husband, but we don't make enough to cover the normal bills along with the extra medical junk we dealt with in 2010.  My personal story goes back a couple of years as what I consider the begining of this whole financial mess.  I guess that would be a story for another time.  So back to the topic at hand, my new venture.  I still don't quite have a grasp on how it all got started, but here I am a month later and I have my own website of http://www.azmomgifts.com/, I have a bunch of catalogs, I have a blog and I have lots of great ideas.  Now I just have to get those ideas out there.  So far I have to admit, even if this is a bust, the candles I sell smell so wonderful and burn so well that I guess there is an upside to the money I have invested into this...I get my own candles to keep if I can't sell the stock of them I have... :)

Somehow my 40 hr job gets in the way of all I want to do with my Gifts business..go figure.  I also need to figure out the google checkout system to get it on my website. Fun.  Oh yah, I am behind a day in my daily Bible readings.  Need to catch up on that too.  Well so much to do and it is already 2230. Should have gone to bed an hour ago.
Well if anyone does read this. Thanks for listening to my rambells.  Sorry if I have not used appropiate blog speak.  Not sure what that would be anyway.  God bless.

  1. Hey Kris, congrats on starting. It's taken me months just to get a name for my blog. I've finally found one and now on to designing. I don't think theres really any etiquette... not that I would know of any. Jenn Cruz

  2. Great, let me know when you have your blog up and going. I know you are very busy right now so I don't want to add to your stress. Hope the hubby heals quick.
