Sale! & Vacation!!

Thanksgiving is tomorrow and with Thanksgiving comes Black Friday and fantastic sales. I will also be leaving early Friday morning for a vacation in Florida - Disney World! We're driving down (2 loong days!), but we're stopping in Georgia to visit with friends. My husband and I have been looking forward to this vacation for months, and our daughter has been super excited ever since we told her where we're going.

My shop will be staying open while I'm gone, but orders will not be shipped until we return from our vacation. I will, however, be posting sales throughout the week in my shop, so keep an eye out for great deals!

Have a Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Ahhhhh.......

Ahhhhh........ at last! A nice shiny new laptop, wireless internet AND a new camera to play with!!! To have a computer that not only moves quickly, but can actually handle the internet without having it shut it down every 10 minutes ----- I am in HEAVEN!!!!

Still need to play around with the new camera. Hope to experiment with it tomorrow (well, later today since it's 1 am right now), maybe even start added some new items to my shop after the jewelry home party this week.


Ahhhhhhh.... this is so nice!

Getting organized

Whew!  A busy summer followed by an even busier fall has left my main workspace a mess!  For the first time in over a month, I have an entire weekend without anything in particular to do.  I sat down a little while ago to work on a few pieces and found that I couldn't because my workspace was such a mess.  A little over an hour later, I have it clean up, beads, findings and wire put in their proper places and all my scrap wire in the scrap tray.  Now I can finally get something done!

It's amazing how much of a mess can accumulate in such a short time. Back when I work as a jeweler full time, we cleaned up our benches every day before we left.  Now, with working a full time job, taking care of the house, family, friends AND trying to run my own jewelry business --- well, something has to slide from time to time. LOL  

My hours at my day job were recently cut back from 5 days a week to 4, which will allow me more time to create, photograph and list, and possibly keep my workspace in better shape.  Well, maybe!
