Love, Megan Update

In case you haven't noticed already, I gave Love, Megan a makeover recently! I feel the new look is more ME and the bright colors and patterns represent my products better.

Also, I have added some new goodies to the shop and more are in the works and will be up soon! Here is a taste of what you can find and a little preview of what's to come:

And in other Love, Megan news, the lovely Mandy from Harper's Happenings is hosting a giveaway for one of iphone snuggies! Head over there for you chance to win your choice of the phone snuggies listed in my shop! The giveaway ends this Friday so don't miss your chance to win!

While I am on a roll telling you all where to go I might as well throw another link at you. I've added some fun new wristlets to Love, Megan that were inspired by local colleges. If you would like one made for a school or team you don't see listed just send me a message and I would be more than happy to create something for you!

Sorry such a business-y post but a fun post is coming soon about our weekend adventures (which include Salsa dancing lessons!) to make up for it :)

Happy Monday!

Since Mondays are typically full of the blues I decided to start "Happy Monday". Inspired my one of my favorite Peanuts books:

It's a great way to start off the week so I will just jump right in!

Happiness is....

accomplishing a goal!

What an amazing feeling, am I right? Last week I had that sense of accomplishment wash over me when my Etsy shop was finally up and running. I had been working non-stop trying to create things I thought other people would like and that I would be proud to say I made as well as trying to come up with a name, slogan, business cards, logo, button, header, and so on and so on.

I never thought it was going to be easy but my goodness, I didn't know it was going to be that hard. But the harder you work the more accomplished you feel when you reach that goal. It also doesn't hurt that I happen to love doing it (minus the computer stuff. yuck. took me forever). And now that my stuff is out there for everyone to see, it feels amazing! We should probably celebrate don't you think?

Here is to accomplishing goals, working hard, and having fun while doing it! Try not to be jealous of my tiny champagne bottle, even though it is freakin awesome!

::passes out tiny champagne bottles to everyone! cheers::

Open for Business!

So the "weekend" came a little early and my Etsy shop is up and running as of about 5 minutes ago! Please go take a look and let me know what you think. Just click on the logo to be directed to the site, or you can go to the web address, www.mrsmegannicole.etsy.com

I have worked really hard to try and create something for everyone so I hope you see something you like. Here is an example of what you will find at Love, Megan:

A HUGE thank you to everyone who has encouraged me to get this started. Even if you simply complemented something of mine you saw, you helped push me in the right direction. So thank you! That especially goes to my hubby, he has been so supportive and helpful through this whole process!!

If you want to spread the love and support Love, Megan by adding my button to your own blog I would be really grateful:

Meet Vicky!

Poor Ms. Singer finally reached the end of her sewing life. During my last few months of using her I spent more time fixing her than actually sewing anything, so it was no surprise to me when she finally broke beyond repair. So what do you do when something breaks and you can't fix it? Buy a new one!

That's Vicky. She's the new girl.

When I went to go look at sewing machines I was amazed how much more advanced they all were compared to what I had been using. In fact, I'm pretty sure the lady working there chuckled a little when I described my old...ahem I mean "vintage", machine. The problem though, with getting a new fancy sewing machine is that I had absolutely no clue how to use it. Lucky for me they have this great deal that when you buy one of their machines you get free unlimited owners classes! How awesome is that? I had my first class yesterday and it was great. I learned the basics of my machine and I go back next week to learn all about the lovely embroidery stitching. Exciting!

As for other exciting news, you may have noticed a new pretty little button that takes you to my Etsy shop on the side. And if you clicked on it you may also have noticed that there is nothing up yet. Well there will finally be items listed sometime this weekend! I'll make a bigger announcement when it's 100% ready! So stay tuned :)
