New Year...New Me!

You know, I'm very creative, I've made jewelry, I've made other things, jewelry, and jar candles and tealites. Why is it that I always wait too late to think about making things to sell for Christmas presents? I think to prevent myself from fretting over Christmas again, I'm going to adopt a new "me" plan in 2010. Part of that has already started..I've been able to increase my salary by $4.00 per hour in this industry I'm now in in just under 2 years so that's promising.  On the way to a better life hopefully...

My car will be paid off in less than 5 months so that's a huge thing for me, and I'm excited about that! I have a new apartment, a new job I love. These are all great things so I feel good about going into 2010 in a little better shape than I have been in.  I really miss my candle making so perhaps once I get some bills paid off, I can buy supplies to begin making a stock of candles to sell next Christmas.

I welcome comments and feedback from other single parents who've struggled, won, and lost some battles, I think support is a great thing!
