Reading Journal
Hello, hello! It’s been a couple of weeks since my last post. I’m happy to say that I’ve been working away on my little Etsy shop. PandaTudePress is slowly, but surely growing. I’m really enjoying building my shop. There is still a lot to learn and I’m nowhere near figuring things out. But, that is part of this journey. I’m learning that my mindset is so different than in past times when I’ve tried. This time around, I feel like I’m more open. I’m more patient, and I’m willing to go through the hard and long process of learning, implementing, and trying again.
I committed myself to one year. I figure after a year, I should have a pretty good idea, whether this Etsy venture is just another hobby or something that will actually create income for me. My goal is income. Fingers crossed that in May of 2025, I’ll be reporting that my shop is doing great and making money!
Wouldn’t that be something?
In the meantime, I wanted to share one of my recent listings. In honor of Books, Blogs, & Bits and my love of reading, I wanted to create a reading journal. I was thinking about what I would want in a journal, along with what other readers may want. I’m all about simple and easy. I find that tools that are a no-brainer will get used vs. sit on a shelf. I want my journals to get used. I also wanted this journal to be visually appealing.
I am excited to share this reading journal! There is two versions — a light cover and a dark cover, but the internals are the same. I just love the way it turned out and I’m proud of myself for figuring out how to put this together. I also wanted to stay true to PandaTudePress and include coloring pages.
I hope you get a chance to visit PandaTudePress at Etsy. Can’t wait to see you there.
You can also check things out on Facebook or Instagram.
