I think I may have cried for 3 hours while I begged it to come back to me!! hahaha. (It didn't. I had to get a new computer and it took hours transferring files and fonts and all that. Thank goodness I had it all backed up though!!).

May is one of my best/busiest months also due to teacher and Mother's Day. I have no balance right now either. We just sold out breakfast table as well and my parents gave me their round table that is just like that and I'm going to paint it white with a dark stain on top. I'm probably going to have to replace the chairs though. And I feel for you on the supplier issue...I don't have suppliers, but all my stuff is digital and my computer crashed in the beginning of December last year! It was a nightmare and I had to refund TONS of orders/money during my best selling month! I'm going to order a glitter water cup, but am going to wait till after May when your shop slows down a bit...I get the feeling :) Good luck and hope you're getting tons done!Olivia at Joyfully Prudenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09431814868170954488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1394900181315046051.post-2947808472769093812017-05-04T08:45:39.456-05:002017-05-04T08:45:39.456-05:00Yes!

And I have to laugh about the craft room pics! Mine looks like a bomb went off in it 90% of the time! (Actually, its probably more like 99% of the time! haha!) I will definitely keep that in mind though! And my financials...girl I could use help too! I've started making everyone go through Etsy to checkout which helps (no more paypal invoices or cash/checks) and I use Excel to keep track of expenses. I could definitely be better!

However, I did just extend that to 5-7 business days to give myself a little break! ;) You'd be amazed how many times I get "why hasn't my order shipped" emails within a day or two of them ordering something glitterdipped and personalized or a wood sign. Eek!! Thank you for the validation that it's ok to take a little longer!! I appreciate it!!

That's incredibly hard to manage! I think most customers expect Etsy products within two - three weeks or they would pay the rush fee.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06855417325487941564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1394900181315046051.post-69674954824286343752017-05-03T08:53:56.998-05:002017-05-03T08:53:56.998-05:00Below Deck is another I have never watched.

I feel like most people understand that you're busy and some things in your shop, like those cups, you can't control. Even though there's always people out there that aren't so understanding lol. Try not to stress but I know that's easier said than done :) But you're doing awesome! Your shop is one of my favorites on Etsy. I love the cups I got a few weeks ago and use one everyday!!

Balance is hard...I have a 2 year old I chase all day long while trying to get orders done and maybe a little laundry and cleaning too, which usually doesn't happen! Would love a post on how you keep all your financial stuff organized (like do you use excel or what software?) Would love to see pics of your craft room, too! We just finished mine so I am always looking for neat ideas for storage and organization! Check me our on etsy, too! Www.deardoodlezdesigns.etsy.

I use to have a craft business. Just not in Etsy. And because I had a full time job I never had time with my family. I eventually found something else that gives me more time and I'm so grateful for that!! But sometimes busy is a good problem to have.
