Took me all day to make more ornaments, photograph them, edit the photos, write the listings and post them. Phew - I was supposed to be working on bracelets today ......

hi to all

WHOOO

[JulsSewCrazy]

Good Luck, Dianna!
Very pretty angels, Ruth! Great man bracelets, too!

In-laws left last night. Starting to sink in.
But, for now, catching up on a few orders/trades and the house.

Are you ready for Christmas?

Tiny show done - I never make much more than $100 in that one but I am already at the event (luncheon) and the table fee is minimal. :)

Hi Dianna, nice to hear from you again.

Yes, Jul, getting ready for Christmas - already bought a number of gifts AND made my Christmas Cakes.

Managed to get to the Creativ Festival on Friday with a friend who had a car! I bought a few things for myself, stocking stuffers for the grandchildren, horseradish varieties for my daughters, and some cross stitch kits for my older daughter.
Yesterday, I picked up books from Indigo for my grandson. :)

How is everyone doing with their free listings?

I have several listings in draft mode in my new shop. I need to take more photos and fill out the words - I only wrote enough to put them in draft.

Will see how many I get done and if I haven't managed to use them all the day before the deadline I have several ideas:

1) Put items in draft mode - as many as possible. Activate then deactivate to use the listing. Flush out listing and reactivate.

2) Renew items that will be expiring....

[AlwaysBeadBeautiful]

Best News this morning.
Woke up to a sale of one set of my angels!
First sale since last November!
YAY!
I threw in a tiny pair of angel earrings for her being my first sale of the listing. I hope she likes them.

H2H

[CherilynNicole]

Good morning and happy November! I can't believe it's November!

Congrats on the sale, Ruth! That was extremely nice of you to include the earrings!

Free listings? What? I went back in the thread to find out anything about free listings but didn't have any luck. Please advise! :)

[CherilynNicole]

Something new -

74 of my items are expiring within the week. EEK!
I wish they sold in the past 4 months, but I guess not.
Well, I will have to figure out a way to reach buyers this holiday season.

H2H

I had great plans to list bracelets in my shop but I have been so busy and out of the house a lot. This week it was the doctor's on Monday, the lawyer on Tuesday, Lunch out with my daughter on Wednesday. Beading and Babysitting on Thursday, and Shopping on Friday. Saturdays of course was taken up with taking my granddaughter to Dance classes and then we went downtown together in the afternoon. At least I do have some new bracelets made that I have posted on Instagram. So at least one photo has been taken. My new listings (2) only have one photo right now - I think (sometimes I lose track of what is on my phone....)
Hoping to get a lot done this week but now realize that I am out Wednesday afternoon - by 2:30. Out Thursday afternoon and have the grandchildren when I get back. Out Friday mid morning - it is the last day to use the free listings.
Going to my other shop shortly to see if there are any listings about to expire. I am hoping to list some more Christmas items there but I haven't taken photos as yet - I have cute little snowman earrings and am making some lovely Swarovski Christmas tree earrings this week.

[Former_Member]

Another new listing that I already had one photo to post.
