A lot has happened since my last post... in 2008. Apparently I'm a blogging slacker. I'm sticking with it this time because I see the value in it now and I have more time to focus on Paper Heart.
I left my full time job back in November 2010 with the privilege of being a stay at home mom with our first child, born on the 16th. I'm loving being a Mommy and even though it is exhausting it is so rewarding to see her growing and learning every day! It's such a joy. This has also afforded me the opportunity to sink some more time into my small business and see if I can really get things cranking.
Since I started things up with Etsy in 2008 I have been working and creating with PHD in addition to a full time job. Even so I have made over 130 sales in 35 different states and in 4 countries. I also haven't had a job that I like as much as I like this. I started the business when I was the manager of a Sears Portrait Studio, then I was a substitute teacher, typesetter and in finally did business development. Each job got a little better as they came, but I love this. This is more play than work! I'm very much looking forward to growing my business and continuing to do what I love, all while being able to stay home and raise my daughter the way my husband and I always wanted to.
2011 is looking to be the best year yet not only for PHD, but for life in general.
I specialize in custom wedding invitations, but love doing all things graphic design. From stationery, to logos, to tattoo designs, let me know what you need and we can work together to make it happen!
