Ready for some etsy time!

My wholesale business has taken off like crazy. I am thirteen stores now and have been very busy stamping silver disks for large store orders! On one hand this is very great. On the other hand, it's left me very little time to play with my creativity and make new items for my etsy store. So I have decided that in addition to painting my bedroom next week, I really need to make some new etsy pieces! I miss it! These are some of my favorite earrings ever! I wish I had kept them!

It's Been So Long!

Wow, I have not written in so very long and I am sorry! I have been swamped with work and etsy has been slighted! I have five stores going full throttle with my jewelry and have been working on orders of 80 pieces at a time! I have also been contacted by a rep who found my stamped disk necklaces at a store in Alabama and she is representing me and selling my jewelry to her stores through out the state! We are working on a design for the University of Alabama and I am hoping it's going to work out! In the meantime, I have had to come up with a name for this line and am working on fine tuning it! I am getting a printer to print my cards and that will free up my part time employee to help me with other things and take out half the process of packaging! Anyway... between this and the zulu charms I am making 90 to nothing... I am very busy and so I aplogize for slacking!

Wow... the first picture is the first disk I stamped over a year ago... before my block came in... and the second is one of my best sellers... You've come a long way Baby!

Yeah... I got a treasury!

I totally love making these collections on etsy! If you are lucky, yours can be picked for the front page! I wish I could just print it out on a T-shirt! I have been trying to figure out how to post this thing the past three times I have had one. Tonight, a brilliant fellow etsian told me how! Woo Hoo!!!!! Now I have to make a fresh mini for the top of my blog page!

Possible Opportunity

Oh... I have to blog a little bit about this today because it "could" be an important date for me.
I have a dear friend on a trip in California to meet and have dinner with someone very cool. I have FedExed her a package to give this very cool person that "could" open a door of opportunity for me. Oooooo, I don't even want to dare think it... anyway... it cost me $35 to send these two special necklaces and it "could" be the best $35 I have ever spent... we'll see... it's in God's hands now... (and the Fed Ex driver!).

And the Winner Is...... !

"Two Bees in a Pod" is the first winner of my blog contest and won this free pair of adorable ivory and seed bead earrings! I decided to make the drawing early and move on with the next one! I'll announce the new contest tomorrow. You can check out her out at http://www.twobeesinapod.etsy.com/ Check back and enter to win the next free gift.... hmmmmm.... what will it be!? It could be for YOU!

I am slam busy today with special orders.... I'll be back tomorrow!

Have a wonderful day! ~

WOO HOO!!!!!!

I am blown away with the blessings God is pouring out upon my business right now! I had a meeting with another store yesterday and they made an order! I'm in another store! I have an appointment with the "sister" store in PTC next Monday and another one in Newnan this Friday.

I have also gotten several etsy sales this week and private requests and orders for my Mother's Day necklace from my personal blog! Now if the UPS can just get my disks here, I can get back on track. I was suppposed to receive and order Friday to make up a collection for the store yesterday. Well, they LOST them. At 7 p.m. on Friday, UPS was STILL trying to tell me they were "scheduled" for delivery that day. The truck had been through the neighborhood hours before... I knew it wasn't happening! Then the same thing happened yesterday and so the company sent out a replacement order yesterday that should be here tomorrow... should being the key word!

So we'll see... I am supposed to get 50 tomorrow and there is already a huge dent in that order... yee haw! I had a handful of disks left from my last order and so I made up "samples" and took them to the store yesterday and it was fine.... whewwww! I also made a contact with a store in Seaside and need to send them samples this week to order from and so now they are already made and ready! It kinda ended up being a blessing. I also sold a smaple right off the table where I met a friend for lunch yesterday!

So I am blessed and thrilled to be having a great month. Thank you Lord!

Spring Time at the Beach!

I usually don't share much about my personal life on this blog... I have a seperate one for that... but I couldn't resist! We just got back from our favorite beach, Seaside, and had a wonderful time! Now that I have had some relaxation, sun and fun... I am back to creating!

I have an appointment with a new store on Monday. I am nervous but excited and hopeful. Then I have another one later that week and I also made a connection in Seaside and am sending the owner some samples and order sheet.... three stores this month would be a very sweet and bountiful blessing! Maybe I could splurge and get my laptop!!!! Wish me luck! :0)
