Happy Sunday everyone.

Happy Sunday guys.  One more day of work for me then off for 3 days.  But I'm neverreally off becasue I'll be making stuff to put in my shop, taking pictures and posting.  And cleaning out my room and putting stuff up on ebay.  I should really make myself a schedule and stick to it.

I really think I'm going try to sell half of my supplies.  And just start fresh.  I kind of have a better idea now of what I want then I did when I first started a couple of monthes ago.

And 13 more followers until i have a give away and feature a blog!!  I really think I am going to let the winner pick one bracelet under $6 from my shop.  And if its not the right size then I will make a custom one that is the right size. 

Now, I just dont know how to pick the winner.  Anyone have any suggestions?  Becasue I'll probably just put everyones name in a hat and pick one out for the give away.  The shop, I'll just blog about the one that catches my eye the most.

I hope everyone had a good weekend!  Mine was better than they have been in a while.  Thursday my ex and I hung out for the first time since we broke up.  We might try to work things out, not right now, becasue we both know if we try now its just not going to work.  But sometime in the future.  Hopefully the near future becasue I miss him terribly!  But atleast I'm getting somewhere, we wernt even talking, so this could be a good sign?

And, Peppy is gaining weight!  I think the little mouse is getting a lot better!  I'm not ready to lose eaither of them yet so I'm excited he is gaining his weight back :)

Well, Its Thursday once again

Which means I have to work all weekend.  I hate it.  I really really hate it.  I'm looking for a new job becasue I'm starting to not be able to handel this anymore.  Horrible?  Probably.

I wish my etsy shop would take off.  Or do better.  I already have 50 items listed!  Well, actually 49 becasue ones a trade, so yeah.

I'm hoping to make 3 or 4 new bracelets today.  I dont really have the right beads to make necklaces, and wont for a while.  Not until I get money in my paypal account.  No more buying supplies, the money I spend on that shop now is mostly going to be advertising (not alot though, just craftcult) and the .20 fee to list an item.

Hopefully everyone is having better luck with their shops!

Help me reach my goals please?

So I have made up a list for my finances...kind of.  I am in fact about 300 dollars in debt becasue of this hobby.  Suckish.  So I made a somewhat easy sheet for me to achieve, hopefully.  That is, if people buy things...

By the end of August, I want to have atleast 60 dollars in my paypal account.  At the moment, I have $10.  So help me sell $50 worth of stuff!

Anyone doing any blog features?  I'd love to be featured.
Anyone selling advertisement on their blog?  I'd love to look into it!

Instead of a give away at 100 fans, I'll have one at 50 followers!  Were getting close guys!

Right now, I'm just working my etsy shop to make up my supplies debt.

If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know.  Thanks!

Well, its Thursday once again

...and I hate Friday-Monday.  I keep having nightmares about work.  It just sucks so bad.  I'm looking for a new job.  I'm ready...

I havent been doing so well this week.  I wanted to make and list a lot of bracelets, didnt happen as planned.  So next week I will work twice as hard. 

But I have listed a few new items in my shop.  I even sold a couple!  But paypal is holding the funds for one of the bracelets.  That kind of sucks.  I'd like to ship it like now, but I see thats not going to happen.

I've also been working on my room, trying to make a REAL work space. 

Hope everyone has a good weekend.

Top Blogs Award!!!

So today was my last day of work for 3 days.  I need a longer vacation from that place.  Let me tell you!  Haha.  I don't want to leave until I have a better job, but I'm thinking about just settling for a diffrent job.  No more fast food though.  NO MORE FAST FOOD!  Maybe Target or Gordmans or something like that.  But I'd really like a bookstore or a library.

I was going to hang out with the new boy today, but I guess not?  I dont know, I guess signals got crossed or something.  But I'm kind of glad it worked out this way.  He might come over for a little bit tonight.  Eaither way, I think I made up my mind about what is going to happen.  I really like him.  REALLY REALLY like him, but you know, the more I think about it, the more I hate the idea of having a boyfriend again.  Maybe there will be a future for us, in the future.  But right now, I'm just not diggin it.  I want to be single for a while.  For the first time, single doesnt feel so lonely.

So I got my beads in the mail today!  Yay.  and I bought a bead organizer.  I cleaned my room some, cleaned out the mice cage, cleamed some house, took a nap, played with my son.  I think I'm going to put my futon up to a couch and make a lot more room in my room.  And set up a work space, an official "Peppy and Belle Jewelry work space."  I doubt I'm going to get around to it this week, but heres fingers crossed hoping I can work on it a lot.

I'm going to start to make 7 new things a day, list 5.  I'll start listing tomorrow :)

2. My 2 year old son is amazing. He doesnt talk yet, but he's one smart cookie:)

Whats been going on...

So the Hanson concert was AMAZING!!  I mean, AMAZING.  It was probably one of their best I have been to, and I've been to a lot of them.  They played for a really long time, and had so much energy.  The walk, however was hot.  Hanson does these charity walks barefoot for their takethewalk.net charity.  For every person that walks they donate a dollar to kids in Africa. And STL was HOTTT!!  My feet were burning, never, and I mean never, have my feet hurt that bad from a walk.  And I've even walked in Orlando FL with them and it wasnt THAT bad.  But I know I helped do a good thing, so thats all that matters, right?

I dont know if there are any hanson fans on here, but here was their setlist:

1. Waiting For This medley


2. Make It Out Alive

3. If Only

4. And I Waited

5. A Minute Without You

I was so excited that Man From Milwaukee was the encore.  Favortie song1  And only the second time I've heard it!  (First time being at the 5 of 5 concert series they just had back in April where they played one album a night)
 
Other than that, I set up a Tumblr.  I want to see how well that works.  I'm going to be adding a lot of new things to my ebay this week, so I'll post a link on here when I have stuff posted.  I just need to clean out my room.

I'll also start adding new things to my ETSY page.

I have been really but latley with work and life, but have made a couple of new items.  Hopefully these go over better!!

Hope everyone had a great weekend!

I've been think about something other than you...

So, tonight I get to see my favorite band!  HANSON!  I'm so excited.  I mean, I just say them in April and May, but I can never get enough Hanson concerts.  They are amazing.  And this will be my 21st Hanson concert <3

I have been making bracelets liek crazy and working on a couple of necklaces.  I have to go visit my grandpa tomorrow becasue he wont be around much longer then work all weekend.  So probably Monday or Tuesday I will be posting new stuff!!!

Woooo!

I now have a total of 20 followers!  Welcome everyone who has started to follow me recently!

Well today I havent made anything new.  I dont think I'll make much new stuff on days that I work my real job.  My job at Hardees is fun, yet stressful.  I swear, if your not going to listen to your manager and back talk them, what the point of coming into work?  Why work there?  I dont know.  But when I told this girl to do stuff, she just kept telling me no.  Yes, she is older than me.  Yes, she use to be a shift leader also, but shes not anymore and I am her manager.  LISTEN TO ME!  And dont boss me around, I know what I am doing.

I have made like 5 new bracelets, but I dont think I will list them until sometime next month.  They are like fall themed, so I will list them right before fall starts.  I have finally made 2 sales, well, one hasnt paid yet.  So hopefully they pay soon.  I have also made a trade.  I am sending her dragon charms in return for wood beads.

My back hurts, so bad.  I have been so sore latley.  I dont know why.  Well, I kind of have an idea, but I don't know.

All I know is I need to clear out my room.  Get rid of a lot of stuff, make some money, not aquire more stuff, and move into my own place.  Where I can have my own room, and blake can have his own room, and be away from these crazy people who are suposed to be my parents.

I hope everyone has a good weekend!  I dont know how much I will be posting throughout it.

Happy Thursday everyone!

So its Thursday, or well, My friday.  I get to work 11 hour shifts for the next 3 days and then a 7 hour shift on Monday.  Wooo.  Although, I like getting off work at 11 am on Mondays, it give me the whole day to do whatever, really.

I think I need to make myself a schedule.  Becasue right now is Chaos.  Haha.

I got my Glass Lampwork Pendants in the mail today!  Wooo!  I have some good ideas for a few of them, a few I'm kind of lost right now but I will figure it out.  I made a bracelet that is pumpkin themed that I will put up at the end of september.  Its almost finished, but I want a pumpkin bead or something to put through the loop instead of just connecting a metal clasp like I usually do.  I'm thinking about ending my bracelets with beads from now on, or atleast when I run out of my clasps.

I'm going to be listing some beads online that I dont use anymore.  Some glass beads and some of those abc beads.  Hopefully they sell so I can make a couple of dollars.

Other than that, Blake had a speach therapy appointment again today.  We have 2 diffrent therapists come 2 times a week to our house.  This only started last week so theres not improvement yet, but I always tell Blake that people are coming to play with him, becasue thats what they mostly doo, they play.

And I thought I would share my work space with you all.  Its only my livingroom.  And I took a picture of my room, once I get it cleaned and stuff, then I might make that my work space until I move.  Which will hopefully be the end of this year to the middle of next year.  I'm ready to be away from my parents!

So heres the pictures.  I will do after pictures of my room once its all done!  Have a good day guys!

Parents livingroom where I make all my bracelets.  Blake is standing on the couch.

Where I sit on etsy half the day.  And yes, That cat (Buddy) lays there a lot.

My room needs cleaned, and I need to make it my awesome work space.
BTW, That is a mouse cage on the floor.  My mice's names are Peppy and Belle.

My dresser drawer where I keep all my suppies.  What a mess!!!

Just another day...

So Work was interesting today.  Coworkers got into an argument, I thought there were going to be fists thrown.  I tried to stop it, but I was scared to get in the middle, in fear of getting hurt. 

all I want to know is seriously, why cant people just get along?

Why cant people respect their managers?

And why fight over who is going to fill the ice?

And yes, you read that right.  They were fighting over who was going to fill ice in the dining room!!

I'm glad i'm home now.  Just hanging out with my son, and maybe make a bracelet or 2.  I'm really just waiting for new beads to come in the mail before I start to make stuff.

Hope everyone has a great weekend!
