Beautiful Mess Plans Co is Three!

It's hard to believe that my youngest is turning two in just a month, but just as hard to believe that I have been running a shop for the last three years! That's right - Beautiful Mess Plans Co is three!

Technically I have been a shop owner longer because before this shop came into being I actually had a jewelry shop on Etsy, but as it turns out I'm not a jewelry person. I didn't enjoy it. I ended up doing it because I was looking for something to keep me busy and give me an identity outside of being a mom. But it wasn't for me. I always tell Rob that it failed and I feel like it failed, but he said he didn't just because it led to something else. It taught me things and helped lead me into the thing that I do love doing now. 

And that thing is my planner sticker shop. So in case you didn't know, I own a sticker shop on Etsy. I opened it up three year ago on November 1 and I feel like it has been an adventure since. I have learned so much and come so far and still feel like I have no idea what I'm doing but I love it. 

It's not that everything is a walk in the park. Because it definitely isn't always easy. I don't always love it. There has been times when I regret ever opening a shop and having to figure out everything that goes with. But at the end of the day I love it more. 

There so much that has gone into the shop over the years. I have added so much to my shop and so many things I have learned. The biggest thing I have learned by far was that I just had to stay true to me and what I liked. I had to trust my instincts, even if it went against everything that all the other shops were doing it was okay to do my own thing and I have learned that people have liked that. I have people who have come back time and time again because I found what makes my shop mine. 

I am actually very proud of myself and all that I have accomplished in the last three years.
