New Hobby? New Business? New time and money waster?

If you know me, you know I dablle in event planning, in diy crafts and that I have an almost disease-level of addiction to wrapping paper. In the spirit of admitting I have a problem, I've decided to embrace it and combine all my loves together.

You might be asking "how would you do that?" I'll tell you how! By starting a "business."

Yes, business is in quotation marks, because I'm not incorporating or anything crazy like that, but I am investing in a domain, and honing my html/css coding skills. Last night I stayed up WAY past my bedtime playing with templates and crafting taglines and assembling some of my favorite photos of my work.

I've still got a LONG way to go, and this is not at all the "reveal" - I'm trying to keep the whole thing very hush hush until I actually have a website that can go live - but by this time next year I should have a fully developed website, one christmas gift-wrapping season and one wedding season "under my belt." And then... maybe... I'll be ready to incorporate.

Yay for new endavors.

Was this a gift?: Yes

My boyfriend loved the Geek Pocket Watch, but would have prefered it in silver. I thought it was a great idea but was a bit dissappointed with the percieved quality upon receiving it. The watch feels "light" and "cheap" and in retrospect I wouldn't have spend $85.00 on it.

I feel it's a great idea, and great piece, but is not worth $85.
