I'm in Florida on vacation, so I've had time to look at all my favorite sites....here's my favorite new one from cakewrecks.

It's a complete print out of the wiki commons page for the graphic that the people actually ordered. For more hilarity check these guys out http://www.cakewrecks.com/

We got business cards!

I'm somebody!! (that's a jerk reference for all you Steve Martin fans out there)
The camera stamps the wrong date on every picture- so ignore that...
My awesome and great husband designed the card- I'm sooooooooo excited! Here are some photos of our booth at the craft fair we did a couple of weeks ago.

I don't like mean stuff, but...

So I really don't like for people to be mean to other people, especially on the internet, because I feel like people are more hateful than in real life....HOWEVER...

I just found this site from being on etsy.com all the time that posts all the lame stuff people post on etsy. It's called regretsy.com, and it is one of the most hiliarious things I've looked at in awhile. I just spent 30 minutes laughing out loud to myself over some of the posts...check it out...

Big Barbie Heads!

If anyone finds Big Barbie Heads I want them...really really....

Here's why:

I want my mom

Reeve and I rule!

So, last night during the super bowl, Reeve and I had our own party. We hadn't yet seen the premier of Lost for this season, so we needed to find somewhere to pick up internet. However, the project was complicated by the fact that our laptop battery is no match for 2 hours of lost.

Solution: Krystal has 24 hour internet, and if you sit by the flashing sign, you can plug your laptop into their 1 available power outlet!! yay! Now all you have to do is learn to tune out the blaring, and terrible, music and the even louder commercials infesting your mind with thoughts of chili cheese fries while you're trying to hear Juliette's dieing words.

Suffice to say that I think Reeve and I rule at having no internet or TV- so there.

Frustration

So, I've been working really hard at getting products into stores, and then setting up my etsy site which has been totally fun, but also totally frustrating at the same time. I'm having to re-learn photoshop- which I took as a class in high school 10 YEARS AGO (OMG- it's reunion time). Anyway, Etsy seems like it would be really really easy because all the programming is done for you, and all the payment stuff is already worked out...however, they fail to tell you that you are going to have to become a master marketing person, photographer, stylist, model, artist, craftsman - er woman, graphic designer, distributor, and accountant. I guess that's what owning a small business is like....anyway I'm ranting- but that's the beauty of blogs, you can't stop me! So there.

I'm in a cabin on the Tennessee River with my wonderful mother right now, trying to learn how to take macro pics (she loves taking photos of ants) of my jewelry, and feeling calm about most things except for etsy. I'm relating to this pendant I just listed (yes, it's a shameless plug- we need money, what can I say?) :

crafting news

Hello everyone! Doni, David and I have been in full swing with the craft stuff...we're making all sorts of things and selling them in two stores in town: Leo Handmade Gallery and Collective Clothing (our roommates' store). We also set up an Etsy site today so that we can sell stuff online. Check it out your sorry jokers!
