A New Adventure

I just recently started my own business. I hand paint different signs, crafts & things. It's something I've done for a while for myself but.... I've had a lot of people encourage me to start turning it from a hobby of mine to a business.
Just Craftin' Around is my new adventure. I've never run a business before but I love what I do!
I can't wait to see all that this journey has in store for my family & I!
Have you ever started a business? Ever dreamed of starting one? Maybe today's the day!

I have always thought about starting my own business. My grandmother wanted me to open my own bakery because I love to bake. However, I am not certain I would like to dedicate a lot of time into doing so.

For some people, turning it into a business would take away the fun.

@GardenGerty I so agree. When I was making gifts for people I enjoyed it so much more than when I started doing craft shows.

Best of luck for your business. Even I do crafting. Still couldn't find a good local market for them

I have thought about it, talked about it, but never really gotten into it. This should do well if the way people like crafted decor around here is any indication.

I was like that for a long time but after losing almost $1400 a month I had to try something. Hoping people will start placing orders more frequently soon!

Never had one. Not talented at all. Good luck on your new journey.

Well, I have dream for starting my own business, and I hope I can do that in future. I tried it in past but actually wasn't able to start even properly because of some reasons.
Congrats for your business. And wish you all the best for it. I wish you get all success.

Good luck with your business venture. My Mom taught me how to make these hand-crafted angels. I've sold a few in the past and given them to my friends. They hang nicely on a Christmas tree or in the window. Here's a photo of one. Hard to make a business out of it though. Too much competition, but a nice hobby nonetheless.

I had my own typesetting business until everybody and their dog started getting computers and thinking they could jolly well do their own newsletters...

That is great news. I hope this business will be a success and it will help your family financially. I have always wanted to start a business but not sure what i would sell. Maybe some day.
