I could only dream of a paycheck someday...I put all my money I make back into 
the business at this point however it is supporting itself right now which is 
great for me.  I do have another job and that is being a travel agent so I 
don't need the income so much and my husband ranches.

I have been doing this for 2 years now started out slow with home machines and 
then leaped into the Amaya last year.  I keep busy through out the year with 
the machine however I want to be busier so I dont have to worry if I am going 
to have enough sales to make my machine payment for the following month.  
I do local craft shows which are very small and even though they generate some 
sales it isn't a huge money maker for me at this time.  I do get alot of 
special orders at them which is great. 
I have a website as well that does great in sales and am also on Ebay.
I would love to be able to take the business to the next level whatever that 
might be but am going slow right now as I don't want to get into debt with it 
and I am doing fine right now....just need to think of new things to add to the 
business is keeping me busy.
I must say that this past Xmas was my busiest I have been since in business 
which has been great alot of craft shows and advertising was done to get that 
however.
It takes time to get a business off and running so I would agree with Steve in 
that don't have your husband quit his job just yet especially the way the 
economy is right now.

Good Luck!
