I LOVE Being on Vacation!!

This week I'm on vacation from work and I'm LOVING it!! (Birthday present to myself). Yesterday (Monday) I went to visit my parents, which was nice. We had lunch and hung out. :0). Today, I woke up and started to do a FIRM workout. I just wasn't feeling it. I couldn't wait to log onto Etsy and to start making jewelry. My boyfriend swears I'm going to be bored being off work this whole week, but I don't think I'm going to be.... It's so nice not to have the phone ringing non-stop and staff (I supervise about 35 of them) complaining. If the thunderstorms hold off, I may even go to the pool today here at my apartment complex.

Something I've already realized by being off this week - WE ALL NEED TO TAKE A LITTLE MORE TIME FOR OURSELVES!! I'm completely guilty of not doing that!! There's always something that needs done. Making jewelry fills that need for "my time" in a lot of ways, but even that feels like a job at times b/c I'm constantly pushing myself to list things on the website that I've made. (I LOVE the creating part. The computer part I'm not so keen on). Hopefully, in the future, I'll be better at taking time out of the day-to-day madness to relax - even if it's just for 10 minutes each day in the shower...

Before signing off, I want to say THANK YOU to Susan for her supplies purchase. I was hoping to have a sale on my birthday (which is tomorrow). This is close enough :0). Hope you enjoy your beads Susan!!

Hope everyone is having a GREAT week!!

Successful Trunk Sale

Yesterday, I held a "trunk sale" at a party I went to. It was VERY successful!! I sold over 24 pairs of earrings, etc. from my website and have orders for several more pairs. So, I just want to say THANK YOU first of all to the Lord for blessing the sale/having so many sales. Also to Kathy and Holli for encouraging me to bring my "treasures" to the party to sell. And of course to everyone who purchased my jewelry, THANK YOU as well!! Your patronage is appreciated!! Hope everyone enjoys their goodies!! More "treasures" to come....

Busy, Busy....

Things have been really busy the past few weeks with work, LOTS of focus on Etsy, and the typical day-to-day things!! I've discovered the forums on Etsy and I think I've become an addict!! It's so fun to log on and chat with other crafty folks. I even joined two groups - TBO (Tranquil Beading Oasis) and the Etsy Bloggers Street Team. The Etsy Bloggers group is just getting going, but the TBO group is well under way. Lots of VERY nice people in both groups - and lots of fun to talk to as well.....

I also became a registered SRAJD (Self-Representing Artist Jewelry Designer), which I'm excited about. I love meeting new people and getting the word out about the jewelry I'm designing.

I've listed A LOT of new jewelry pieces, as well as SALE Supplies!@!! Check them out - and buy, buy, buy!! I'm literally running out of room for all of these beads and earrings. (They've taken over the spare bedroom in my apartment). :0).

Peace and blessings!!

Series Update...

I don't know if it was the "Pink" and the "Malachite" Series that helped people find my website or what, but orders flowed in over the past week. That was a major blessing!! There will definitely be more series' in the future.

FYI - I just got a new shipment of beads in. LOTS of new gemstones and .925 Sterling Silver beads!! (About $400 worth to be exact - shhhh - don't tell my boyfriend). I have most gemstones that are on the market (and the ones I don't have, I can definitely get). So, I am now accepting custom orders. Simply convo me thru Etsy and I'll be happy to work with you to creat something you'll LOVE!!

Hope everyone has a GREAT week!! THANK YOU again for your patronage!!
