Iam a Daughter of Christ, Wife, SAHM, Blogger, Crafter & so muchmore!Is blogging and running your shop your hobby, full time job orpart time job?Ithas been a very limited part-time job for me over the past year as I've workedfull-time. As I'm getting ready to embark on my life as a SAHM I will hopefullybe able to do a little more or I may be shocked to find out I don't have anytime at all. 
How do you come up with newdesigns?  What inspires you?
ThingsI see in stores especially new trends. So if I noticed that owls are the inthing then I try to pull an owl into my tees & onesies. Sometimes I justask others for their opinions. I like certain colors & sometimes I thinkthe rest of the world likes those color combos and they don't always. I need toknow other peoples opinions. First in Line Friday: Jana from Giggles, Glitz and GlamName one thing you love and one conflictabout selling online or blogging?WhenI started blogging, I started as To Dabble In Design, my attempt tostart crafting more with a little accountability to my blog. Before long itturned into something much more than that. It all started because I had a lotof fun making pillowcase dresses for little girls in Uganda.I learned to sew in home economics in high school, but hadn't really sewn muchsince. I had so much fun at my first pillowcase party and realized I LOVED tosew! We started having pillowcase parties every month and I even made my twonieces coordinating dresses. I was even inspired to make my nephew coordinatingshorts & an applique tie onesie (my mom finished it).A few months later I saw an adorable hairband that my niece just had to have,but that I wasn't willing to buy. I studied it, bought the materials, and madeit. The famous hairband that started it all is the one you will often seepaired with my tutus! I decided to start my own business, Giggles, Glitz & Glam, and thatis when I switched my blog from To Dabble in Design to Giggles, Glitz& Glam! I will blog frequently about crafts but you can expect to see alot about my faith & relationship with God as well. Any advice for people starting out?Get involved. I attend two twitter chats that really have helped me a lot, #crafterminds & #setupshop. I participate in unique linky parties like It's the Small Things over at Aisle to Aloha. Connect on twitter.
