Charming Co. Hiatus

Hello all. I just want to let everyone know that Charming Co. will be going on hiatus until further notice. I have a few more important things going on my life and with the economy in such a bad state, I can no longer afford to continue Charming Co. at the current moment.

Justine and I are planning on starting a family within the next year and a half, and so I will be focusing on getting myself healthy. Also, I only have three more semesters of college before I receive my BA and with this upcoming semester, my classes will become a main priority.

I am not giving up in my crafty endeavors, but merely taking a step back and not pushing myself too far. I have been re-evaluating Charming Co. and the entire crafty society. At first I thought crafting was all about fun and creating. Then it became a competition. Then the people you thought were friends were no longer your real friends, but their true colors came out. In this crafting community I've had my ups and downs. I've made mistakes, trusted the wrong people, put myself in difficult situations. But, in the end I've found out what I really want to do with myself and my crafty business.

When I bring Charming Co. back it will be bigger and better than ever. I will have a full line of dog and cat collars and dog leashes. I'm also planing a new line of pet toys and a different aspect of crafting, MP3 cozies. Mostly, what I've learned is that you can't jump into something. Even though my heart was in the right place, I didn't have much planned and this time around I'm not going to make that mistake.

I would like to invite you all into my life as this blog will be focused more towards the life and times of me, a young woman, starting to live her life and finally doing what she wants. I will be blogging about trying to conceive a child with my partner, recipes, baking, crafting, and day to day events. If this isn't what you want to know I will miss you, but I know this will be one hell of a ride.

:D
