I like blogging
I don't do as much as I like, but I like blogging. I didn't think I'd keep it up this long. Although the things I write are pretty mundane, it helps me feel like I have a voice. Since being a mom, I've been home and don't talk much to people anymore. Except for my sister who has 4 kids (one more on the way), none of my close friends have any kids. So no one really 'gets it'. LOL.
Anyway, blogging is a bit of therapy and it helps me look at where I'm at with starting a biz. I've done more in the past 7 months about the paper biz than I have in the past 3+ years of planning for it. I think I took action at the most difficult time... when my son started to become mobile. What made me think I wasn't going to be chasing him around? LOL Anyway I'm going at slower than a snail's pace, but at least I'm going.
So right now it's website building time. Ok, without having to deal with a shopping cart, it's easier. But I still have to deal with that eventually. Depending on how sane I am at that point, I might hire someone. I think it's fear of giving control to someone else, I don't know. Right now though, I'm having a hell of a time shooting the cards. I want to photograph them because they are embellished. We'll see what happens after I play with the camera settings and lighting a bit more. Photoshop can only do so much.

Okay, it's kinda silly how we're totally going through the same stuff!
I too have "the fear" of giving control (of my website) to someone else, yet I don't want to do it myself ... and I too have been struggling with documenting/photographing my work (due to poor lighting).
Man-oh-man, I totally sympathize with you! :)
PS: At least you're working on this stuff though, and that's definitely better than not doing anything at all. :)
It's funny that you post about this because I'm about to reshoot everything again. I can't seem to get the lighting right and like you said Photoshop can only do so much...argh! Nice to know we're not alone. LOL!
I have embellishments on some of my designs as well, and find it so hard to photograph. Good luck!
