Okay, so I get most of my supplies from Fire Mountain Gems. I love those guys! A couple of months ago, I noticed that they have a section where you can post photos of your work. I thought "What the heck" I get lots of complements on my avatar on Etsy and Artfire, so I thought I would enter that photo. A short time later(can't remember how long) I got an email from them and they said they would like to put my photo on their Customer Photos section and that they would send me an email when they posted it.

Well yesterday, I got an email from them and they have put my cuff bracelet on their website. I am so excited.
Here is the link. Go check it out!!

So much to do and so little time

First, I am on a two week hiatus from my "day job". Wahoo!!!! Now, where to start. I guess I will start by deep cleaning my house, getting my finances in order, all while trying to make jewelry and get caught up with all my online shops, blogs, social network sites, etc. I think I have spread myself to thin with all the social sites. Some of them require that we promote others (not that I don't want to, I just don't have the time)

Most of my customers at work(I actually do sell my items)say I should submit my designs to the company I work for and I would love to, but I just cannot do it fast enough. They also ask if I sell locally and I would love to as well, however, I sell my products as fast as I can make them (and that is a good thing), so I have no inventory.

I have also signed up on Google Analytics and I have not been able to find out how to get it to work for my shops.

That is why I have not posted a blog in quite a while!

Okay, off to get busy. Stay tuned for more in the next two weeks.

New handmade selling site

I was reading my email and following new tweet followers and stumbled upon this new website to sell handmade items.
It is http://www.zibbet.com/. It is still in the beta phase so it is fairly new.
Looks like a good one.

I am also working on a bead embroidery cuff bracelet. It is almost done and I will post it as soon as I get it done and take pictures. Stay tuned.

First time blogger

2009-05-02T10:40:00.000-07:00

Well, today is my first time at blogging, other than Twitter. No really sure what to say, except I have heard that this will help get my name "out" to people that might be interested in my jewelry.
