give up.\u00a0 I have also learned that.<\/p>\n<p>About 6 years ago, I decided to start an Etsy shop.\u00a0 I had always loved art, had taken so many art classes at college, had been a professional photographer for 5 years but was so ready to start something new that stretched me.\u00a0 I was sitting at my parents dining room table the day after Christmas and pushed the button to open my shop.\u00a0 For 6 months I had one item in my shop.\u00a0 I made a sale here and there but in June I set to work setting up shop.\u00a0 My shop grew, I met amazing people around the world, and have LOVED every minute (even the times of painful growth has been beautiful!) but that didn&#8217;t mean I knew the answer to every thing that came my way.\u00a0 Lots of reading, learning, support and mistakes later and I am still learning, haha!\u00a0 It has been so much fun though.<\/p>\n<p>Last week I started something new and it is exciting and scary all at the same time, but love the opportunity!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-1086\"
