[starlightwoods]

I finally quit my day job! Yaaaa Hooooo! Well, i gave 2 weeks notice any way. i have been burning the candle at both ends for months now trying to work 9-5 and keep up with my Etsy shop. My shop has taken off in such a great way, having my ring featured in August in Real Simple, wholesaling to now 9 stores throughout the US, keeping up with my orders in my shop and now being a finalist for the Martha Stewart American made award BTW you can vote for me here: ;) http://americanmade.marthastewart.com/profiles/lisa-disciascio-685
I will need to keep this momentum up now that this is my real life every day job!!! I have been going back and forth about this for weeks, well maybe months now and I can not believe i finally did it.
