Today is just a business day. I visited my printer to take a look at the template they created for my cards. The template looks great, but they accidentally deleted the images I sent them to put in it. Consequently, Wednesday will mean another trip over there to look at a preview before I can place the order. I always forget to allow for life's glitches within the schedule in my head.
Once I get the cards back, I can take pictures of them, post them on Etsy, and hopefully start selling. I'm trying not to feel gloomy about all the upfront costs for this project. Up to this point, I am barely recouping what I spend on art supplies and printing. And so, for the four millionth time, I tell myself, "It's all part of the process, mija. Take a minute to look at how far you've come instead of how far you have to go."
