Still a full time mom and still have my full time career but Cindy Ho Designs has gotten busier. In order to keep organized, in the first quarter of this year my shop was split into three categories.
- Foils and Artwork – www.cindyhodesigns.com
- Decals and Stickers - cindyhodecals.etsy.com
- Craft Supplies – cindyhosupplies.etsy.com
This also helped me service my customers better since each store offer very different things. Also I’ve been freelancing making handmade greeting cards which developed my designing skills.
It’s been a great experience so far. The profits from my shop has paid for all my tools without dipping into the family budget. Back in October, I preordered a Glowforge laser cutter without hesitation. This has been my largest investment yet and I didn’t few it as a ‘toy’. I viewed the unit as opportunity to expand on my dream. I’m a little nervous as it’s a whole new learning curve, but I know this is perfect stepping stone toward my goals.
For those who like my work or ordered my designs,
Thank You!
