It's been a while.....

Egad! It's been a while since I've been on this here thing! A few changes have taken place, most importantly, I am an etsian! Woo! I've had 2 sales so far, which I think is pretty good, and two custom orders I'm currently working on! You can check out my page at http://elbeading.etsy.com !

I've got to get on the ball and get everything else listed, the hubby is tired of looking at it all!

Oh! I got my VistaPrint order in the other day! Woo! I feel more like an actual business now, with my cards and my car magnet, and everything else! Now I'm just looking for reasons to hand my cards out!

And now I notice that every sentence is finished with an "!". Nice. Oh well, I'm just really excited, which is good because I've been bummed about personal issues lately. Job searching sucks, and I wish there was a bit more out there that was stable and long-term. Blech.

Woohoo! Sale time!

I've decided to have a sale in the store, because I felt like it and maybe it would help me get my first sale for that store. :)

All handmade items (that means it excludes the items in the overstock category, because, well, I didn't make them, lol) are 20% off AND free shipping to US and Canada! Woo! Great deal, huh?

I thought so myself, so go out and buy! Or order a custom piece!

:) have a wonderful weekend!

Just Starting Out

So, this is a mix of both personal and business "ramblings" and thoughts. Personal ramblings and business thoughts. I have finally found something I am passionate about as far as a career, and am happy to be starting up. It's frustrating at times, whether it's designing, figuring out where/what/if to sell, and figuring out what needs to be done.

On a personal note, I'm learning that motherhood is a heck of a lot more challenging than I pictured. I mean, I knew it was going to be challenging, especially trying to raise *my* offspring (stubborn? no, I prefer strong-willed, haha), but there are times where I just don't have a clue where to begin! Oh well, comes with the territory I suppose, I still love them more than anything!

Be sure to stay tuned, as I'm sure I'll have more rambling mumbo-jumbo mixed in with some brilliant revelations, along with shameless advertising plugs to my jewelry store: eldesigns.ecrater.com (shameless plug #1, let's see how many we can get!).
