New Year, New Blog!

Welcome to Sparrow's little blog corner!

Its the 1st of Jan 2014 which means resolutions have been made by the bucket load (and many will be broken already ;) ) .

Well, I have made a few, one of them is to lose the extra weight I am carrying - fairly common one I'm sure! I am in a very good mindset at the moment so feeling optimistic - bloody scales helped mind - shock is nothing but a motivator!

Another, and the reason you are here, is because I want to bring a bit more of a face to Sparrow's, more angles, more persoanlity if I can.
I am not the most confident person in the world, I like my work because it means I can hide myself behind a screen...mostly!
What worries me though is being a faceless business. I see them regularly. I get bored.
I try and bring a good balance of post's between business, selling, personal and random rubbish (which incidently you all seem to love - you nut jobs ha!) and I think I do a ok job, but I am aware that not everyone who follows my business page wants to know the Furby did a sh*t or that I glued my fingers to my face, so that why we are here. To give you more of a insight to me - as a person and my very unexciting life (I'm not kidding - its boring but I am very content!) .

So on that note - here's abit about me......

My name is Kylie, not Sparrow (contrary to popular belief!) . I am currently 25 of which I shall stay until I look like a old hag and can't realistically get away with it any more.
I am mum to one small boy aka Mini Sparrow aka Harvey. He talks...alot. I'm not kidding! Think of the average amount of talking a 6yo does and then x5. Its ridiculous but I wouldn't have it any other way.
Sparrow's HQ is also home to two guineas lovingly know as Little Pig and Big Pig, a hamster called Squeak, three fish called...well The Fish, and not far away in a paddock on the edge of town is a small pony called Charlie. He is furniture!

2013 has been a tough year personally. Family issues, money issues, loyalty and sanity got tested, balls got grown, and we had some horrendous low points. From the beginning I swore its was because of the unlucky no.13 and couldn't wait for it to be over.
We are now in a much better place and positive thinking will be the motto for 2014. Things will happen because we will make them happen, and thanks to some hard lessons, mistakes will not be made twice!

From a business perspective I don't think I could have asked for more!  Sparrow's gave me something to throw myself into and its paying off! I relaunched with a new page in May - I closed down my old one with 3700 likers in favour of a fresh start and a new style. Madness?? Maybe but no one got anywhere by being completely sane! ;) It was without doubt the best decision I have ever made!
I gained more sales, more return customers, the confidence to set up a website and in the process made some fabulous on-line friends.

So, there we have it, blog post numero 1!
I have no idea how often this will be updated but watch this space and we shall see! xx
