Excitement of a New Baby!

So we are expecting our first baby and of course we are SO EXCITED! I think that really with every little thing I get MORE excited :) I really cannot wait to hold this little one in my arms! I wish I could fast-forward just to meet him/her sooner! 

    This weekend Josh and I just re-painted my old dresser for the baby's room. I cannot wait to get it up there and start preparing more! Yeah, I may seem a little premature in planning but we have not actually gotten much for the babe yet- I am just setting up the organization of the room! I think my next project might be making a window seat cushion of the baby's sweet little reading nook <3 

We will find out the gender of our sweet baby on August 28th and we are pretty excited! We don't care what God has decided to bless us with- we just feel sooooo lucky to even have a baby <3 God must trust us ;) 

Finally opened my Etsy!

For a long time now I have been wanting to open an Etsy shop! Well, I finally did it! I am still working out what I want my shop's focus to be (what items). But right now I have baby things and canvas art :) I love both!

Here is one of my new canvas creations! It was my first experience with a chalkboard finish- I love it! 

I have found that in starting an Etsy you need to focus on your keywords, title, pictures, and consistency. Keep posting new stuff and see your traffic increase! The things that I thought would not get traffic are doing the best- I think it is because some of my titles are better than others! Also, some titles bring up less search results than others, therefore, people see your item more! Stay tuned for some more Etsy tips- I am just beginning but cannot wait to have my first sale!
