Using my Courage... And a Giveaway!

Hello Lovelies!
Well.... I did it. I have launched my 1st DVD Tutorial!
This idea of mine started as just that. An idea. An idea that sprung forth into something beautiful, exciting,scary and unknown, at first. And now that I have successfully accomplished that scary,unknown, I am Happy to say that it was worth taking the risk.

 You know those pesky voices, or is it fear, that haunt your thoughts, and try telling you, what are you doing? The what if''s? What if no one likes it? Or who do you think you are?



All that scary stuff, of not knowing. ... Then the clouds lift, and the birds start to sing, and then...choosing to just go for it. The Believing in your vision, doing it anyway.Well, that's exactly what I did! And I have to say.. it feels GREAT!



I have been working on creating this Tutorial for several weeks, planning,note taking, and becoming more technical. And guess what? It has been worth it. I have learned so much. 

Yes, the technical stuff, and also about me, and about who I am. Accepting myself, the way that I am.Even if the Tutorial isn't successful, I can honestly say that I accomplished something that I had only dreamed about doing. And that's what my word for 2013 is all about.
 COURAGE.


Taking a chance...
I have never been comfortable hearing my own voice. As a matter a fact, I don't think that most people like hearing their own voice. But that was one of those ugly fears that were holding me back. I just had to push through, and tell myself, "Just get over it." YOU CAN DO THIS.

I am so excited! My tutorial is in a DVD format, with chapters. So if there is a segment you missed, or need a refresher,you can just click on the chapter and watch it from there. Pretty cool. Huh?
The DVD and supply list are available through my Etsy shop HERE


These Treat Cones are so much fun to make too! Could you imagine getting one for Valentines Day? Or Birthday? So special. They have enough room inside to tuck in some special candies,home made creations,jewelry, or fun trinkets too!

    1. Thank You Cameron, I appreciate you leaving your comment. I believe that we need to challenge ourselves,and get out of our comfort zone, to achieve goals that otherwise we would not attempt because of fear. Though it can be scary,I do think it's worth taking the risk. Happy Day to you!!!
