Things have been insane for me the last couple of months! I am ready for something to give. The universe really should throw a girl a bone!

How do you stay positive during trying times? What are your tricks for joy?

What are you up to today ETBz?

Here's a quote for you:
“Everyone is born creative; everyone is given a box of crayons in kidergarten. Then wen you hit puberty they take te crayons away and replace them with dry, uninspiring books on algebra, history, ect. Being suddenly hit years later with the 'creative bug' is just a wee voice telling you, 'I'd like my crayons back, please.”

I had blood work down this morning and it was all good except my white count was a little low, they said it wasn't anything to worry about just to make sure I try to stay away from anyone who is sick for the next few days.

On day two of my diet, liking it so far! Just made some lunch so I will eat it when I am done here.

Mailed out a book someone bought this morning = D After Lunch I will edit photos for 9 new items and then start posting them.

Hope everyone has a good day!!

Had a bit of a setback today. Almost to 100 items in my inventory but as I was getting ready to load the rest up found out my shop bill is due and there is not enough in my bank account to make my payment for the month. So I'm frozen until paid. Ugh. It's been 3 weeks waiting on unemployment money coming in due to a glitch. So hopefully by tomorrow everything will be straightened out and I'll be back at it. Really had hoped for a sale in the shop to cover the expense but...nothing in awhile. Hope I'm doing this right and not preventing sales from lack of know how. Getting a bit discouraged at this point. Any advice from my team mates?

Aww Julee. Just hang in there. You just need to wait for the check and get it paid. I've had a couple months where I forgot to pay. Luckily, Etsy is really good about it, Wishing you many sales in the near future! C'mon Julee!
Keep up the great work. 100 listings is a lot, so congrats :)
