{ ShannyPooh Designs! } - It's somewhat official.. - MRSHTOBE's Blue Wedding by Color Blog

So, a lot has happened in the past week.. but, not in the ways of wedding planning, heh. Story of my life.

Anyway, onto the point.

Last Monday, Mr. H and I sat down and talked about the fact that I haven't found any job prospects since my temporary slot at my job expired, last month. He noticed, however, that I've been doing even more designing lately, and brought up the idea of me doing this as a part-time leading to full-time thing. Say what? Me? Designing? With no formal training?
Sure, I've toyed with the idea of going back to school to actually persue it as a viable career, but, right now? Am I ready? Am I even good enough? He seems to think so.. so, we're testing it out.

Before now, I've always just done this for fun, and to help other brides-to-be out, but I can't deny it.. I love what I do! I've started advertising locally, and I'm in the process of putting together a blog/website, and even a page on Facebook. I'm still not quite sure how to make this all happen, but I'm excited at the prospect.

As a matter of fact, I was just contacted this morning by a local wedding event planner who is interested in meeting to talk business, and exchange business cards.. she could easily get me work with clients! Problem is.. I don't have business cards.. or even a business plan, right now. LOL! She understands, as she was in my shoes just last year, but we've vowed to keep in touch. OMG.

This very well could be happening. Excuse me while I hyperventilate. :P

In other news, yesterday officially marked 200 day 'til W-day! We're at 199 days, now.. and, we still have so much to do! Someone please smack me to get my @$$ in gear.. blah!

This is GREAT & Being a VERY SATISFIED client I believe that you should ABSOLUTELY GO FOR IT...word of mouth is the best advertisement you can get!!!!

Good LUCK!!!

MUCH LOVE!!!
