Am I Crazy?!

Two weeks ago my mom and her friend had a Heritage Maker's workshop. For those of you who don't know about Heritage Maker's - it's a company that you can print books or calendars with your pictures and your own stories. It's actually really cool and a really not so messy, neat, easy alternative to scrapbooking. Anyway, so I agreed to doing a workshop at my house the following week. I'm not sure why I ever agree to do doing these things - jewelry parties and whatnot. I don't have a lot of people to come to them so.... I'm not sure why I still continue to do them.

Now, to my question - am I crazy? I decided to be a consultant for Heritage Maker's! I know! Me! It's so not my thing but here's what I was thinking.
  • It would be some extra money for Jake and I - which is always nice.
  • I'm so not a person that is good with speaking in front of people or trying to sell things which is why I think it will be good for me. I have a huge fear of speaking in front of people and being center of attention. I hate it. But I think it will help me overcome this and help me grow. So I'm exicted just for that reason - but also very nervous! I also think that that it kind of sells itself.
  • Next.... I hesitate to say this because I don't want everyone to get the wrong idea when I say this but some time in the future (most likely not the near future) when Jake and I start a family, it would be a good option for me to still work but be home as well with our kids. Just for the record, we are not pregnant nor plan to be any time soon. We're just looking a head.
  • Also, I feel like it's something important. I know people who are really good at scrapbooking all of their memories (Elisha) but I also know lots of people who have good intentions of doing that but never get around to it (me). And this gives those people another option to preserve their pictures and their memories in a book that you can put together on the computer without the mess. Can you tell I'm really big on the "without the mess" thing?

There are other reasons too but those are the big ones. Jake has been really supportive - actually I think he wanted me to do it more than I did but now that I've agreed to do it - I'm really excited. So am I crazy for doing this? I don't know, but I'm going to give it a shot and I'm really excited to try something new. So wish me luck!
