Me? An Entrepreneur?

Welcome back everyone! It feels so long since I picked up my proverbial pen and began writing to you. My goal, to write something every single day. Now, the biggest question, "Did you miss me?"

Does anyone even care what I have been up to since I started blogging back in 2009?

Wow even that seems so long ago when I type that, because its now 2020. 11 years ago it all began with what I wanted, which was a place to write down my thoughts and send it out into the World Wide Web and hopefully connect with like minded people.

How funny how much things have changed in just 11 years.

So why am I here again after a long break from writing?

To share with you what God has been doing in my ministry or my life as I see it. What started out as an online journal evolved into a place to connect with so many people from all over the globe and even all different backgrounds, races, religions and so much more. I found in a sense an internet family.

From there it took on the shape of taking my love of reading and books and becoming a book reviewer for mostly Christian book companies and publishers for almost 10 years. Then everything all went digital and those days of free paperbook copies went by the way side. I finished home schooling my girls and they began lives of their own and I felt God telling me it was time for a change.

What He wanted to do in my life, if I was ready to follow Him.

How could I say no? Everything with God is going to succeed. That's almost an automatic yes!!! Please!!!

So I felt God pulling me into using my talents in home decor to not only teach people how to make their homes beautiful but also to teach them how to make that into a hobby or business. God put all the right people in my path.

First of all He provided an outlet for all my pent up creative talents and taught me more about what I was already doing through Facebook and YouTube videos.

Then He lead me to Jennifer Allwood, an incredible women who show other women how to make money in the online space, but even more than that, how I can keep my faith in my business without leaving that at the front door. I can say He is a master of making it all work out, and all one has to simply do is trust Him.

Now going on 3 years, I have managed to take what I love to do and turn it into a profitable full time business. I have a group of over 250 creatives that trust me each month to teach them how to do what I have done as well as coach them in the art of home decor and running an online business. Never in my wildest dreams did I ever imagine I could make that work. In fact my designs are all one of a kind unique originals. I never duplicate any design unless a customer is requesting something just for their home or double doors. I wanted them to feel as special as the time and creativity I put into all my designs, so that they too would feel unique and wonderful. Like a true Masterpiece.

I used to watch other people take simple ideas and turn it into a business and never for once did I think that would be me, but here I am.

So I can officially say without a doubt, that I am a small business owner. In fact, I just applied for my first business credit card. Who would have thought?

So I would LOVE to have you join me on the journey! If you have social media, like Facebook, Pinterest, YouTube or Instagram, come find me at KatsCreations777.

Until then I will be sharing with you what I am doing, what is happening and what I am making next.

Small Business Dreams

WOW! I can't believe how long it has been since I have gotten back to my original blog. So much has happened and change is all around us. I am still reviewing Christian books and family friendly products though I have scaled back quite a bit so I can focus on breathing life into my small business dream. It has always been a dream of mine to find a way to employ my kids and hopefully give them a fun job to do and that of course is still in the works. But hopefully in time, God allowing and according to His will and timing that will come to pass.

However I LOVE to create beautiful things. I mean come on, we serve our Lord and God, who is Creator of everything, so how can we not create? I have LOVED creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere within my own home and have gotten some amazing compliments, but I felt that God wanted me to take that vision further. Now when you watch couples like Chip and Joanna Gaines do just that, you realize that your dreams don't have to stay buried. You can step out in faith each day and do the very next thing until either God stops you or you are continuing on the way, with His blessing.

So that is when I decided to take what I was always doing and broaden my horizons. I began making wreaths in a very competitive market. There are those who make the most beautiful wreaths and have taken the time to share their skills with us that can find them through Google or Pinterest and even Facebook searches. Most will offer those services FREE for a time, and eventually open it up even further if you pay to join their groups. Once you learn the basics you can broaden your business a bit and expand to find your own path and that is what I have been doing.

I decided like most of my viewers on Facebook to take it back to basics and realize how much those foundations are important to share. I absolutely LOVE to encourage, cheer lead, motivate and hopefully inspire those that have become a small group of faithful viewers. But going back to basics is also back to blogging as much as I am creating products to sell or even books and products to review. So if you'd love to take a peek at what I've been doing you can find me on the following social media platforms while I begin to build my own website. I would LOVE to have you follow me on any of them and look forward to chatting with you tomorrow! For now Kat's Creations is the name of my small business that creates beautiful wreaths and decor for your home or office.
