Trying not to give up

Ok I’m trying to be a good blogger so here I am. I wanted to post sooner but I was lazy and didn’t. last night I had a rough time falling asleep. My mind was going a hundred miles a min. What was I thinking about you ask? Well let me tell you.
Scrapbooking…

Yes yes yes I know… Of all things in the world to think about I was thinking about that. But, it wasn’t just scrapbooking. I was thinking of way to get this business of mine off the ground. Yeah I know that right now with the economy the way it is probably isn’t the best time to but I’m tried of not helping out our family as far as income goes. I’ve had a hellish time trying to find work. With so many ppl out there also employed no one wants to hire a stay at home mom that’s been out of work for 2.5 yrs. So I’m trying to make money on something I’m good at.
So here are the steps that I’ve taken… I put together a website to show case my work and to give a place for ppl to get infor about me and what I can do. Urlifecreations.com…. Yes it’s a work in progress. Me being not so gifted in the world of web design did the best I could. Can I use some help yes LOTS. But I don’t have the money to pay someone to help me out. So if your looking at it and see some areas that can be improved PLEASE feel free to let me know! Its hard cause I’m on the other end. I don’t look at it as a customer would. I need that point of view so please feel free to give it to me.

I also put together a facebook and a myspace page together for the purpose of networking. I’ve been adding ppl like crazy and I thank you if your one of those ppl that have accepted.

I’ve told all my friends and family about all my pages and have asked them to pass along the word. I’m sure like many there all sick of me asking or talking about.
And now here I am blogging about it. What more can I do? Well that’s free or cheap? I’m running out of ideas and nothing seems to be working. The only clients that I’ve had are my mother-in-law and my wonderful neighbor Sam that hires me to make every card that she needs. Other then that nothing. At this point I want to give up! I know its not a lack of talent or drive. At this point its more a lack of buyers! I don’t want to give up on my dream I really don’t but it seems hopeless! I’m not trying to toot my own horn but I do make some cool stuff! I personal think I have skills. But what is a girl to do????
