woohoo! 994 feedback! Hoping for 6 more (great ones, of course) before the new year to reach 1000.
My other goal is 111 sales by the new year to reach 2000 sales. (hehe... it is a very lofty goal... hoping to reach that next milestone. (Remember, I have been here for over 10 years. I didn't want to sound like I was boasting. I am just hoping to set some goals to reach.)

From my 50% off sale section (powered by Etsy's new tool)

And I have good news and a wish for good luck...
I have an interview for a long-term substitute teacher position in a district I would LOVE to teach in. Next Tuesday afternoon. Any good vibes, wishes, prayers, rabbit's foot, thoughts, or luck would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Just paid my Etsy bill of $102.11
HOW did that happen? I didn't make a lot of sales this month. It must have been all the "renews" (and that one sale to London - yay).
But sheesh! This little shop doesn't usually accumulate a bill like that.
PARADISE10 = 10% off

Come on, Christmas sales! Find my shop!

Linda- what a beautiful bracelet! I love pearls!

Dianna, can't wait to see your pics!
You have motivated me to get my craft room organized and functional!
So many of my things in boxes from the move!! Started organizing and sorting today but slow go - hand still in pain. Going to doc tomorrow-has been over a week now, so I think I might have broken a bone...we will see!

[PineForestGifts]

OH and cleaned out my shop all my rubber stamps-found facebook group that I will sell them in. Happy days!

I think my shop looks better without them -eh?

[JulsCraftCrazy]

Thanks, Sharon. $1K deductible... but life happens and that is why we have insurance, right? I hope your hand is better soon with no broken bones. Blessings. (Great news on the Facebook sales!)

Thanks, Dianna. I hope so. (Hope you bowled well!)

Good Morning Paradise! The past couple of days have just flown by. It was my son and bdil's 2nd wedding anniversary Tuesday so Mike and I took them out. An added bonus, my son brought the new girl he's been dating (and he has never been so quick at letting us meet his dates before) We loved her immediately! I think he's smitten and I couldn't be happier for him. ♥ It was a great evening.

I'm going to read back, see what you all have been up too.

Ruth, I'm with you...I don't want my family anywhere else but THIS city. I think that is why I am having such a hard time with Mike being gone. Hopefully, your sil is just talking and nothing will come of it.

Hi Dianna, did I see you didn't have your shop open? Are you planning on coming back for the holidays. Sure am glad to see you popping in here regardless. ♥

Juls, birthday trip down to mom's was fun last weekend. We always have a good time together. I love my mom.

Never did end up having a lunch/pottery playdate with my friend. It's been postponed until this weekend, she and I both had terrible headaches due to sinuses.

PG 16 - Caught Up!!!

Congrats on your feedback Juls! Goals are good! Prayers for your job interview too!!! ♥

Hi Leslie!!!

Thanks Sharon...we have insurance now again (we went 60 days without), I need to call my doctor and have him take a good look at my shoulder. I was going to this week, but it's been kind of crazy with Mike home. Next week for sure.

Linda, lovely bracelet!!!

Dianna, if you're feeling in the cleaning and organizing mood...PLEASE come do my office and studio!!! Man, what a chaotic mess. But I know where everything is...

Sharon, I know I've been slowly letting the rubber stamp listings go out of my shop too. I have a ton of them also, but I just think they make that shop look clunky, but that's me.

I know I saw Cherilyn back there too, hellllllloooo honey!!!

I hope I got everyone. H2H

Mike is off to go get grandpup so the two can play, I am going to go back to work on my slippers and do a little light housework. Tomorrow is running day, and the day Mike has to return :( I don't know when he'll be back, this sucks. But hey, we've got almost another 2 days together.

Hope you all have a great day! ♥

Hey! For anyone who voted for my project I have news....we got funded!!! :) Thank you so much for all your votes and shares! We now get to go out and make our show and we are sooooo excited. I'll keep you updated on the progress.

Also, in terms of Etsy, I have noticed an uptick in Halloween sales so thats good. Almost hitting 300 sales in my shop. Not bad for being under two years old.
