Goal Reboot

November is almost over. Have I accomplished anything on my Monthly Goal list? NO. No I have not. Well, I did photograph the new greeting cards, but have not yet edited them for listing. And that's about it. I did do some personal re-organizing, get a few things done on the side and work a lot of extra hours at BN - but I'm feeling like a failure as far as my passion is concerned.

So I'm organizing a reboot. I know I can't possibly get all of those goals done before November ends. Of my two days off left this month one is Thanksgiving, and that will be busy and hectic. One of my goals that I hadn't mentioned really was wanting to write out weekly schedules once I knew my work schedule. I'm going to start this for next week. By Saturday I will have a schedule for the upcoming week out and it will be DO - ABLE.

New Goals for November:

Be halfway through cross stitch gift

Have made schedule for first week of December

Write out Christmas list of people to buy gifts for and figure out budget

Edit at least 5 greeting card images and have listed one by December 1st.

Additional News: There will be no November newsletter. BUT our DECEMBER Newsletter will have a Special Coupon that only newsletter subscribers will receive. SO - You have until December 6 to sign up for our Newsletter which will go out sometime before December 12.

YTT: Sales and Excitement

 This week has started our productive. Though I usually fall apart around now, so I'm determined to stay organized for the remainder of this week. Updates in the shop: There are now two sale items in our shop, and two sets of bookmarks (four bookmarks for the price of three!).

Yesterday: I listed something new, blogged, had some "me" time and sent out our October newsletter. Click the link on our sidebar to see it, then sign up for our mailing list and get the next newsletter in November!

Today: I've listed new and sale items and done some cleaning. I work tonight so I don't have time to get much else done, but I have some emails to catch up on which I should probably do today.

Tomorrow: I work a mid shift, but will be sure to blog, list a new item and hopefully start photographing our new greeting cards.

how is your week going?

YTT: Newsletters and Last Minute Prep Work

Good Morning! I've had a roller coaster of a week so far and it's only Wednesday! Things are looking up, though, and I'm confident about the rest of the week.

Yesterday: I played around in MailChimp and set up my first newsletter. It's going to go out the end of this week and if you'd like to receive it just type your email in that sign up box over on the sidebar of this blog. I'm really excited about this and just to let you know all emails will be fallenpeach related and they will arrive once a month in your email box. I also listed a new item, relisted a couple sold items, blogged about a fabulous Etsy seller, and forgot to take my photo for the day. I also put some new icons up in the sidebar to make it easier to find us in other places on the internet. What do you think of them?


Today: I already listed a new item (see above!), I will make up for the lost photo and take another for today, print a last minute photo for my show this weekend, buy a new frame to replace the one that broke, do some cleaning and confirm everything for my opening.


Tomorrow: I have a bunch of errands to run, will list a new item, blog, and see what happens today that will need to be added to my list for tomorrow.

How is your week going?
