Here it goes..

A few months ago I took it upon myself to create and Etsy account so that I could find a way to better my selling when it comes to my cards and such. It took me forever to post any of my stuff on there, because I was feeling so doubtful that nothing would come of it. But, a few days ago, I finally decided to put up my Valentine’s Cards. And I was so right.

A few people have looked at the cards, but I have no buyers. Maybe it’s because the pricing, or the fact that I am brand new and nobody has seen my stuff besides the few friends that I’ve shared the link with. I really should stop being negative about it, and think positively. Now, I have taken the next step in creating a miniature store for myself where everyone who wants cards, can find them. And that is so comforting in such a strange way.

After my birthday, (in exactly 16 days) I am going to take whatever money I receive and put it towards turning “my website” into my own actual domain. And that is SO exciting! For me, that will become the biggest step towards the grand finale in this entire process as of right now. Etsy and PayPal were the first step, my domain will be the second, the third will be to build my own clientele, and the grand finale will be to have my own little boutique in the middle of whatever city the road takes me to.

This is going to be a long and tough process and I am more ready than ever! I cannot wait to see what’s in store for me, and I am so excited. I hope that you’re all along for the ride :)

A New Journey

I just watched the movie Julie & Julia, and it has completely inspired me to do something beyond what I’ve planned on doing. Sure, I’ve got my website, and I’m slowly but surely getting into Etsy.com, but what if I started blogging about it all? I mean, there are times where I will spend DAYS at my craft desk just making one thing right after the other, for hours at a time. There are days when I struggle just to find a specific simple material for the smallest little thing, and surely I am almost always creating new ideas for projects in my head.

I have so many plans for myself when it comes to Maya Leiah Creations, and it would be so much fun to just write about experiences that I have with clients, and friends, and conventions, and just everything!

This is going to be a fun new experience for me, and I am very excited to see how it turns out.

I wonder if anyone would read the blog, or even be interested in it at all. Would you? I guess we’ll find out tomorrow ;)

10 things you should know.

1. Sometimes, I wish you were still here so that all the important people in my life could know just how wonderful you are. There isn’t a day that goes by where I don’t miss you any less than I did the day before. You’re the most important person in my life, and not even the distance between the ground and the sky can change that.

2. I resent myself for allowing you to do what you did to me. I should have walked away the second I gained that first opportunity to do so. But, you were drunk and I had some sort of pitiful faith in you that it would all be over with in the morning. Then we woke up, and you were drunk again before I could even make myself some eggs in the skillet. You’re a prick, and you’re nothing. And quite frankly, you were just my golden ticket out of Vegas.

3. I hope that someday I’ll be stuck in the back of your mind, and you’ll be going crazy in the middle of the night. You won’t be able to get comfortable or fall asleep because there will be a mistake you made years ago, and it’s eating away at you. And you won’t remember what that mistake was. But you’ll be thinking of me at the same time, and how much you love me. And you will never put the two together. And when you see me, you will be frozen in your tracks. And I’ll be able to walk through you like you do to me. And it will feel so damn good to be the one in charge. And when that day comes, I will go home and close the door behind me. And I’ll shake and cry as I laugh. And I’ll be able to lay down on the floor, and listen to some lovely music, and let my heart slow down and die. And it will all be perfect. And you will still be the most beautiful person I know. And when that day comes, I will be marvelous.

4. You are the best thing that has ever happened to me. You’re wonderful, amazing and perfect, and never have I been this happy before. You make things so easy, and being with you is the best time spent. I hope this lasts for a long time, and I can’t wait to see what the future brings us. I have such a good feeling about this.

5. You disgust me in a way that I can’t really explain. You have this weird nitch about you that makes you seem like this complete stuck-up-bitch. You’re rude, and your way of dealing with things in a sarcastic manner is obnoxious and senseless. Maybe it’s because you’re young, and naive. Or maybe it’s because you’re not from around here. Either way, I don’t like you very much.

6. To everyone who has ever hurt me or screwed me over, fuck you.

7. You’ve been my best friend for 16 years, and it has been the best friendship I have ever had. You’re amazing, and I am so thankful that we have what we do. You’re like a sister to me, and I love you so much.

8. I’m astonished at the guts you have to say the things you do to me. You’re appalling, and I never imagined you would treat me the way you do. You’re supposed to love and nourish me, and ensure that my feet are on the ground. But instead, you tear me down and beat the shit out of me with the nasty words that you let roll off your tongue. One day, someone WILL love me, and I WILL get married. And when I do, I will make the MOST BEAUTIFUL bride, with the most gorgeous gown on, and you will not be there. And I will not be sorry, and I will not regret it.

9. I love you. Nothing more, nothing less.

10. I envy each and every single one of you. If I could have what you all have, I wouldn’t be happier. But unfortunately, I am the ugly duckling among us and I will never have those things. Especially from here.
