When I began crocheting dishcloths and handmaking cards, I had no intention of ever doing anything with it ~ most were for myself or family and friends.
A few blog friends suggested I open an Etsy shop and after considering it and praying about it, I did so in February of 2009. I had my 1st sale the very day I opened and don't think I had another sale until MANY MONTHS later :o(
Somewhere along the way, I changed direction and began creating what I called whimsical collages and 3D art featuring butterflies and baby elephants and that has expanded to include so many others.
Since May of last year, I've had 61 sales and I thank the Lord for each and every one and often wonder what He has in store with all of it.
Previous to that and since Christmas I've done quite a bit of custom pieces including a 16" X 20" canvas.
I've also been creating a new website, a Facebook page and updating my other blog to reflect more where my creative interests lie at this time, since the only handmade cards I create now are for family and special occasions.
Until April 27th, I'm holding a BABY SHOWER free GIVE-AWAY on Facebook for anyone who is expecting or knows someone who is expecting a Baby ANYTIME in 2011 -- drop by for a visit to read how you or someone you know could win FREE GIFTS :o)
I hope to post on this, the blog of my heart, a little more often than I have over the past several weeks as I've missed it and the dear ladies who drop by for a visit!! I'll also try to visit all your blogs a little more often than I have over the past while ...
Blessings,

Your collages are very interesting...I like how you recycle old books and your precision, mixed with your colorful and whimsical choices makes for a really lovely effect. Congratulations on such productivity as well.
I just love those butterfly pictures, they are so clever. I can't imagine them not selling. You are very creative.
Your new blog is lovely and so inviting to browse the beautiful art work you create! I perused the whole site and enjoyed each page!
So excited for you, Dallas! Your creations will be loved by all!

May the Lord bless each of you as you follow where HE leads!
I have an Etsy account, but have never done anything with it. I should at least try! Glad you have a nice little business, it's fun to think somebody likes what we craft. (I like your new fonts!!)
Mrs Mobunny - Yes, you should at least give it a try!!
You'll never know, if you don't :o)
