Just going with it...


If you would have told me a little over a year ago that I would be running a dog and cat toy business online I would have told you you were insane. If you would have said I would be blogging I would have fallen off my chair. Crazy how life is, you think you have it all figured out and then before you know it (and sometimes, without even knowing it) you are living a very different life. I have always been pretty creative and enjoyed doing things myself. Whether that was making christmas gifts (dear family, sorry about that year) to installing reclaimed hard word floors in a past remodel. So I didn't really think much of it when I looked at my ever growing fabric pile and the 4 dogs staring at me and decided to try making some dog toys. I had dabbled in interior design and at the risk of sounding snobbish, hated the way all the dog toys just didn't seem to match the decor of my house. Ok, that is the first of what seems like an endless list of ocd's for me, I have been known to be a tad on the matchy matchy side. Well, one thing lead to another and my Etsy shop was opened late in the summer of 2010. Since then I have enjoyed great sales, great customers and made even greater friends.

Since life has proven to not always go in the direction I plan, I have decided to not plan and just go with it for a while. That is kind of the same approach I am taking with entering the blogging world, not really sure what will come of this blog so I am just going to go with it!

Thanks for reading and hope you join me as I "just go with it".
