Have coffee, don't have fresh snow.

[PPennee]

Morning everyone- I've been MIA for so long, just had to at least wave and mark a spot for the month. I had snow this AM to- so ready for warm weather!!

[Former_Member]

It's true though. If you put 2+2 together, it's like a Charlie Sheen moment.

Winning....

[cgwhitfield]

Can't figure out how to read the article. Ignorance is bliss?

[SToNZ]

Interesting article. try this CG:

(Click on "next" at the top to "turn" the pages.)

[lsueszabo]

LMAO aimee.

[ShireJewelry]

if you right click on the pages, then you can click large for size and you can read it that way. Ok, off to the store.

[Former_Member]

cg, thanks for the epoxy removal tip yesterday..

[cgwhitfield]

Thanks, read it. Might buy the mag, I found the scan a little blurry.

Generally, I have trouble being too critical since etsy is helping me build my little house.

I might, however, aspire to a 'stratospheric level of cool' one day.....

[SToNZ]

You are way cool in my book, CG.

[cgwhitfield]

GWG (still don't have your name, sorry), the reason I like to keep the water below a boil is that hard water when boiled can precipitate out any minerals which might affect some stones. Never had a problem myself, and have little knowledge of the chemistry involved. Might well not be a factor.

[AlexSharDesigns]

Greetings and Salutations! Been MIA lately, you know, "life gets in the way".

[cgwhitfield]

Susan, yes I know, it's April 1....

[Former_Member]

I'm not being critical, Cg. :) I actually found this the most truthful article about Etsy and the going on's that has ever been printed to date.

[Former_Member]

Good Morning everyone! It's been a long long time since I've posted anything (or listed anything new for that matter). I've been busy finding and getting a new place to move into. Now I'm in the process of getting internet, a new computer, and my office/workshop set up.

It's a really slow day here at work and I'm stuck inside answering phones so I figured I'd pop in and say hi while I had the chance. Hope everybody is doing well.

[cgwhitfield]

I know, Aimee. I can think of lots of things I'd do differently but for all that, big picture, it's making my life easier. I know I wouldn't want my every move analyzed for rationality. That would be a rude awakening.

[StoneyCharms]

*waves foolishly at thread!*

morning!

[ChrissiLynnDesigns]

Morning everyone.

Also, missing off the main list...was sure I was on there before.

Thanks for posting a link to the article...going back to read up.

BBL

[bellabijoujewellery]

Morning everyone - barely slept last night and feel like I have been hit by a truck today :-S

Also - if anyone is not on the list, please go add yourself on the Introduce thread, that is how you get on it. I have been fixing it and updating it almost daily.

[bellabijoujewellery]

here is the intriduce yourself thread http://www.etsy.com/teams/7369/chattymetalsmiths/discuss/6774397/page/1
You will need to go to the last page to get the most recent list, then copy it and paste it into your reply, adding your name in the right alpha spot.

[Former_Member]

Hi, Henrik!

Got a Uline catalog addressed to the Manager of the Shipping Dept of Jewel Street Designs. Guess that'd be me. lol. Now let's see what kind of shipping goodies they gots.

[bellabijoujewellery]

LOl Aimee I always get a kick when I get mail addressed similar to that, or someone calls and says "can I speak to the manager/owner/designer/whatever for Bella-Bijou Jewellery - uh, that would ALL be me!

[Former_Member]

lol!

They do have some fun stuff in that Uline catalog. Not to mention some of the things I've been using from the Mr. Man's old job like shrinkwrap that I'll miss when it's gone.

[cgwhitfield]

The other side of that coin is that you're also the janitor and the bill collector and general dogsbody.
