Its Official!

I am officially a shop owner! An Etsy shop owner. Its been a real process deciding on a name for the shop, deciding if I should really open a shop only having 3 blankets, deciding if my photographs are appealing enough to attract folks...

I sucked it up, spent a couple of days figuring out things on my own - combined with ~~bugging~~ asking the wonderful Mrs. Allen-Mercado for her Etsy know-how, dos and don'ts, and "how does it look nows". Finally, its here. Baby Squares is here!

I hope that you will all stop by and pay me a visit. If you see something you like, GET IT! No pressure =). I am hoping to go yarn shopping soon so that I can add some pretty purples, pinks and other brightness to the trio. Custom is an option, especially since I only have a few pieces over there. Just shoot me an email at babysquares@gmail.com.

Okay, so I just went by Baby Squares to take a look and couldn't take my eyes off. You have done a wonderful job with your blankets and I am close to tears right now just thinking about how talented you are and how many blessings are about to come your way since you are finally showcasing your God-given talents. I'm so very proud of you!!! Really.

Sister Traci. You sure know how to make your lil' sis feel good! =). I love you for it... and so much more! This is proving to be OUR year. We have faced, and continue to face so many challenges/set backs/bullshit, but its NOT all for nothing. Remember we said that?? Things are going to always fall right into place when the time is right... and with a little push from those around us who love us, and have our best interests at heart.

Thank you for all of your support, love and guidance. I am looking forward to seeing where Baby Squares goes. Hey, just noticed something... Baby Squares - Babygirlz, hehe.

My little sister should feel good because she is the BOMB!!! Real talk, girl. You are a gold mine and don't even know it, but something tells me that 2010 is gonna slap you in the face with it! With a little help from your sister :-)

And...uhm...what signature??? Tell it!

I love the Baby Squares & BabyGirlz! Do you realize how symbolic that is?! I love that! I have an idea for the first issue

It's that whole entrepreneurial thing we always talk about...and you could head it up! That whole being the perfect employer versus being the perfect employee...

The business ain't took off yet, lol. I'm no expert. Shoot, the girlz can probably teach me a few things, lol. I feel you though. I think we will BOTH be able to speak on it Ms. CEO!
