It has been so long since I posted anything that I thought I should stop in and say I'M STILL HERE! I have been keeping myself very busy these days with my Zazzle shops. Since my last post I have also added to the K-Richs Place, Celebration Station family. The newest member of my Zazzle shop family is Take Me To The Top. This is my novelty t-shirt shop!
So, as you can see Zazzle is still paying me to play and do the things that I love. CREATE!! Still haven't made that first million, but I have become a Zazzle ProSeller! I cannot say it enough....if you have the spare time and some creative thoughts open a Zazzle shop!!! I taught myself how to use Inkscape and Gimp and went to work. I now make my own play money and hopefully will be able to change that to making enough money to supplement our income each month to help with more bills. It can be done and my goal is to make it happen.
The moral of my story? My little CafePress vs Zazzle experiment has a clear winner in my mind. Can you guess who that is?

It's Been Awhile
Wow...it has been quite some time since I've last updated. Things have been really crazy here at home having two little ones. My youngest just turned 7 months and my next youngest will be three in a couple of months. They have kept me busy, so updating my blog had to take a back seat for a short time.
Let's see....where to begin? Well, things GREATLY improved with the Zazzle stores after my last update. Christmas season was pretty good. Sales picked up and and I was starting to see an increase in traffic flow. Christmas however, does not even come close to the OUTSTANDING January that I had on Zazzle. Sales were coming in left and right. Mind you, I did not make millions here...hahaha, but I did make a decent amount of mad money for myself. Both of my Zazzle stores saw an increase, however, I have to say the real bulk of sales came from Celebration Station, the invitation -greeting card store. Things have slowed down again now, but I have to say..overall I am very pleased.
If you are a stay at home Mom or work part-time and have some spare time that you can put into Zazzle, I say go for it! Of course, being creative helps! You don;t have to be the absolute BEST artist out there, BUT you do have to have a creative mind and the ability to come up with new ideas often. It doesn't hurt to try it. It's 100% free so you lose nothing. And who knows, you may just end up with a little spare money for playing :o)
Personally, I intend to continue with my Zazzle Adventure. I love it! I am constantly coming up with ideas at random times and often curse my bad luck for not having a pen and paper with me to jot down my idea!
I will continue to update my Zazzle Adventure and journey as I go along and hopefully one day will be able to blog about that first million! :o)
