Do you guys hear that? It's my stress levels rising. I realized today that Christmas is coming, and it's coming up fast. In the past I never got too stressed about the holiday shopping season. I mean, with Cafepress and Zazzle, there's not a whole lot for me to do other than add new products and promote my stuff. But with Etsy I've got to worry about everything. Mostly inventory.
I want to have a great holiday season, and I know that I'll make more sales come November/December, but the trouble is I may not have the time to make all the wristlets I'll be able to sell. Thus, I need to build up inventory. Lots of inventory.
I've been making up charts and calendars and making deadlines, and trying to figure out how many wristlets I'll be able to make before the holidays get going. The other trouble is getting the money to buy the materials to make the wristlets. Oh, the delicate balance.
I have a feeling this holiday season is going to drive me nutty. On the plus side, I'm super organized now.
Wish me luck. :)

About Me
- Rachel White
- I'm an artist who can't choose a medium. My current weapon of choice is a black fine line art marker, which I use to doodle pretty little illustrations. I turn them into clip art that you can purchase in my Etsy shop for use in projects like web design and scrapbooking. I live with my husband and evil black cat in Chicago.
