Feeling the Love :)

As I’ve mentioned, I’m on vacation, so while I’ve been trying to stay as “on top of things” as I can with all the distractions, I’m still a wee bit behind on posting up some fun stuff!  I have been getting lots of what my friend storybeader calls “screen time.”  And it’s a lot of fun!

First up, I found myself in a treasury!  Its not up any more, but the super-duper-exciting part is, this was created by a complete stranger!!!

Then, my friend Kate of Om Shanti Handcrafts mentioned me in when she was featured on the front page of Wickedly Chic! It’s a site whose header reads, “Independent Shopping for the Wickedly Chic.”

As if that wasn’t enough…I’m also in a giveaway right now!  Check it out and enter to win this bracelet!

My friend storybeader that I mentioned earlier is also hosting a buy and replace treasury.  And I’m in it!

AND – just for the fun of it – I made a treasury today!

Have a great day and don’t forget to check out the last day of the etsy bloggers team sale!!!

Loving the Coffee :)

For those of you who don’t know what a treasury is – it’s a place on etsy where people can show case some of their favorite items off of etsy!  I just snagged my FIRST EVER that I got to create :)   I had a lot of fun putting together this treasury dedicated to coffee!

Raindrops on Roses

I’m in a treasury!  Thanks spottedcowsoaps!!!

It’s been a good day.  Not feeling to great tonight – just kinda woozy for some reason – but I’ve gotten a ton done!  I’m doing some trades with NicolesVisions and BreathoftheDragon so I shipped those out today.  Excited!  Getting some presents for other people and one just for me :)

I’ve also sorted through all the loose photos of earrings that I had, updated all the pieces on-line that needed it, and implemented my new inventory system on my earrings.  *phew*  Plus, while I can’t do everything, I can create jewelry again!  I’ve made a new necklace set that I’ve been thinking about for awhile.

I’ve decided (after finally putting away purchases from the last two weeks) that I REALLY need to make a bunch of stuff before I let myself buy anymore.  My 12 boxes are full!  Ok -  so I’ll probably break down and buy more boxes at some point – but I should actually use the beads I have and focus on getting the new pieces on-line instead of spending money :P

Firsts!

June 9, 2008 · 2 Comments

I have my first sale on etsy and my first treasury listing! I’m so excited!  Ok, so I cheated a bit.  It’s not some random stranger, this is the commissioned piece from my friend Bu that I mentioned before, but she still paid for it through etsy and all!  I’m very happy to have that first sale showing up on my profile!

Here’s how it turned out :D

I’m also in my first treasury!  Thank you Lauren of TheChainMailleLady :D

Below is my picture of it, but I encourage you to go check out the rest of the treasures by following this Treasury link :D

I’m in the top center of the pic :D

I had an awful day…slept most of it away with migraines…but I’m having a fantastic night!
