Time for a change & refocus!!

Well never ended up following thru with the whole marathon thing as work & motherhood proved enough for me. I do still have a gym membership. I won't divulge how much use thats getting though. But I'm currently still at my pre-pregnancy weight & even a little less, so I'd say I must have been doing something right all this time. Whether not having enough time to eat at times or money being tight having anything to do with it, will be my secret that I'll take to the grave, LOL.

So for a long time I've been itching to get my creative spirit going and find a way to make money for my family doing something I love & enjoy. While its been good to me for the most part over the years, my degree in Economics & Business isn't exciting me and doesn't fulfill me. For a long time now I've wanted to become an interior decorator as its something I feel and have been told I'm good at but its hard to have the time or figure out the right way to get into it without not working my "real" job. But I'm not getting any younger and Julian is growing up so fast already so I need to get a move on and stop being afraid. I may not have the schooling for this but hey most creative types that end up doing this kind of thing dont either, they just do it! So I'm going to get cards made up, thru my favorite stationary site: http://www.tinyprints.com/; put them up at local shops in my area, post my plans on facebook & twitter, link this blog and hope that some of my friends or friends of friends will help get my feet wet and slowly get some connections going. Maybe it won't take off that fast, but I'll never know 'till I try right?

Wish me luck & any suggestions are appreciated. Stay tuned for some pics of projects around the house that might showcase my talent abit. Keep in mind that money being an issue, I did the best I could with my resources. But the vision was soley mine and with the proper materials/resources & money I could really transform a space!
