**TGIF - Thank God I'm (on) Facebook**

How many of us are happy that today is Friday?!   We get out of bed with a renewed energy singing TGIF!!!  Well this morning I woke with another thought...TGIF - Thank God I'm (on) Facebook!!!!

For those of us small business owners who are trying to build a business, Facebook has offered us access to clients and (fans) fromt he four corners of the earth, simply with the click of a mouse. In one of my earlier posts I listed the US states and other other countries to which I have shipped my fabric bundles, etc.   I do know that without Facebook this would never have been possible. 

I am truly thankful to all of the fans on my Fabric Creations by Andrea Facebook fan page that have shared my posts (and there are many sometimes - smile).

For those of you with Fan pages, keep at it.  Do not give up!  The world is yours to conquer!

Have a Fantastic Friday!!
TGIF!!

**Wonderful Wednesday**Where are you with your Projects?**

It is Wonderful Wednesday here at Fabric Creations by Andrea.  I hope it is for you wherever you are today.  It is the middle of the week and we should all be mid way through the project(s) that we stated this week.  (except me that is!), I have no projects on  the board this week.

How do you plan your projects?  Do you select projects for the month or are you a fly by the seat of your pants kinda gal/guy?
I typically keep a list on my white board in my sewing room and check them off as I complete each one.  Planning is a good thing as it keeps you focused.  There once was a time when I would jump from project to project, because I saw something that inspired a new idea.  That approach might work for some, but alas, not for me.  I am a list maker and I work best in an orderly fashion.

So off to find a few projects to list on my white board....stay tuned!

Something to be said for Fabric

As some of you know I have been buying fabric for many years in support of my handcraft business, Fabric Creations by Andrea.  I do local craft shows and have sold on ETSY and Artfire.  As the economy headed south, so has the sales at the craft shows.   ETSY and Artfire is such a huge community, and with a "regular" job I do not have the time to actively promote the business in order to generate sales.  So....life deals you lemons, you make lemonade!

In June 2011, I opened FabCreateDestash, my fabric destash store on ETSY, well wha-da-yah-know!  54 sales later, I am loving it.  I have received so many comments on the choice of fabric that I offer, not to mention; the Posit Office that I ship from is one South Florida's Mail Processing centers, so my packages seem to arrive in no time. To date I have shipped to the following locations IL, NJ, Canada, MO, MI, Ireland, NV, CA, OR, WA, Australia, HI, GA, TN, MD, KS, IN, VA and FL.

Each day I try to put together Fabric Bundles, Quilters Bags, Fat Quarter Bundles and Yardage of fabric from my own stash.  My fabric is stored in containers and are all new. I absolutely love Novelty Print, especially anything with Butterflies, Shoes, Owls and Handbags....so you'll notice a theme when you visit my destash shop.

Hope to see you there.  www.fabcreatedestash.etsy.com
