More Cricut Etching

Good evening yall! I have a few more glass etching projects to show you. The first one is a glass I made for a co-worker's son. She wanted a small glass he could hold (he's 5) and wanted his name on it. He has a long name, so I went with a 1/2 inch font to make sure he didn't have to turn the cup all the way around to read his name.

I think he will be very pleased with his own personalized glass. Next I have a glass featuring my new Cricut cartridge - Zooballoo. It's an LSU tiger glass. It has LSU on one side and a cute little tiger on the other.

Isn't he precious! Maybe I'll actually make more than one sale tomorrow. Actually, I'm kinda being more negative than I should because a woman at work (who I'd never met before, so it wasn't a sympathy order) asked me to make 6 fleur-de-lis wine glasses for her daughter/son's anniversary. It doesn't seem like a real sale, though, because I'm not delivering them until March 2. A lot can happen between now and then. I'm just definitely not the entrepreneurial type. At least I think entrepreneurial is a word. In other words, I have a hard time selling stuff I have made. I'm gonna get an Etsy shop I think because they only charge 3.5% on the sale price. Ebay charges 8.75%. They both have a listing fee, but they are quite small. I'm just still not sure I want to take the leap and try shipping stuff. Going to the post office all the time doesn't sound nearly as fun as making the stuff. I do have a friend in mind that I'm thinking of asking to "go into business" with me. I figure I could make the stuff & sell it. She could ship it. We could split the profits. I'll have to ask her after I get out of jail for strangling my husband. I thought he was "listening to my dream" until he told me that Tahitian children can make this crap cheaper and that's why it's all cheaper at Wal-Mart. Whatever. Before I start getting unpleasant messages about how I should ignore him, he's just joking and wouldn't say any of that if he thought I'd take him seriously. After all, he provided the initial investment (Cricut), cooks dinner, cleans, and takes care of the monkeys so I can have time to do all of this. Tonight we had homemade pizza. It was pretty good. Wow--I didn't intend for this post to get so out of hand. Oh well, tomorrow you will get Valentine cards. I know this because I'm gonna get it ready now and schedule it to post tomorrow :). How cute, my smiley has a mole on its chin just like me. Yall have a good evening and remember--I am not responsible for the therapy required after reading my blog.
