The numbers are crunched, the bottom line is in, and....
Pretty Cheap Jewelry finished the year in the black for the 3rd year in a row. And I promise there is very little creative (read 'crooked') book keeping involved.
The expenses? $2,000 for a long, but simple total of supplies, postage, some office items, event fees, and a very little bit of miscellaneous.
The income? $2,300 steady, sometimes small, sometimes moderate monthly sales in a good variety of venues including shops, weekend markets, internet site and specialty shows.
I'm happy with the results, but am committed to *increasing profit* in 2009.
Comments welcome, especially other home biz readers ....and of course, here is the other black book the title refers to!
