Today I am 1 on Etsy. I was feeling pretty bad as evidenced on my Livejournal blog entry from today. I feel better now. Gosh, emotions are ridiculous. I have some new earrings in the works, new designs and old with a different color. So it goes on.

I'm not sure who if anyone reads this blog, but if you mention 'blogger' at checkout on Etsy this month (February) I'll give you free shipping.

I'm still not sure how to spend the $50 I have that I found at work all those months ago. So many ideas but no decision yet.

Gift Bow Earrings

Available in green,red, silver, gold, pink, fuchsia, and blue.

I haven't updated this in awhile. Honestly I'm not sure if anyone reads this. But I'll use it anyway. Maybe I can get people to it.

As far as shop goes I reduced the price of the necklace pictured below by $12.

Waking up to a sale has to be among the best feelings in the world. The wristlet below sold. I'm so happy! It was to another Etsy seller, she'd been eyeing for awhile. I also think she liked it because I kinda named the set after her. That sale brings me up to 9 since Feb, which is not good statistically, but at this point I don't care. I'm too happy! :P
