But I also need to really re-focus on some of my pictures...so I guess I'm not really ready for Danielle to critique my shop haha...scary XD
My goal - other than hopefully upgrading to a 2-sale-a-month seller (lol) - is really start looking at some marketing venues...
I bought my own url finally - i think i purchased the 3 year (or was it 5?) from godaddy...and it works! (feel free to check it out http://www.sesamebijoux.com/ ) now when i reprint my biz cards i can just use my own url instead. Less complicated for people like the bf who doesn't remember/know how to spell anyways LOL!
I also finally attended stamp camp..and it was really really nice having just an intimate group of my friends there. We chatted about anything and everything - got bak into card creativity (i'm still a "natural" crooked stamper though haha...some things won't change i guess...)
The funniest part was when we were all talking about the darn facebook app/games =_=
and ...if you are my friend on FB...SINCERE appologies for bombarding you with cafe world posts =( The reason I post is so my friends can get some "free food" for their restaurant...and I'm really just trying to be helpful and not spammy =(
I try to only post 2-3 times a day w/ cafeworld LOL
Angie's lil boy Tyler is soooooo cute cute cute! He was too tired yesterday and didn't pull me to play toys with him...but he slept in the room we were in and he soooo darn cute!
Speaking of babies - I think I'm still helping my friend with her babyshower....I thought of some really cute ideas...but.....I'm not sure how well the parents-to-be will like the idea...
I'm going to enlist Angie's help if it gets kind of out of hand........still need to open and try out my cricut LOL!
So my 2nd goat in February is try to get a theme (color and type) ready for the baby shower...get most of the preperations/organization down on paper or something....
So far the goals seem ok right? Not too hard.. I think goals should be something worthwhile and attainable. Real baby-steps...
V-day and Chinese New Year will be coming up fast!
I've learned my lesson from Halloween - holidays are not yet a good sale-time for me (on Etsy). I had no sales in October - no one purchased X-mas themed colored items either...
So for V-day I'm just listing (and re-listing) some pink items...a few girly ones...but still making/listing stuff with no real consideration of the holiday.
The holiday purchase-rush has not yet hit my store...
Last bijoux goal for me in Feb is to come up with a cool new design. My own unique niche (one of the few things I've learned in my marketing class...wish i had a better professor at the time too...). I think...I need to buy more sterling silver wires...but am very hesitant to becuase I spent so much in 2009....
I also need some good practice wires - which still won't be cheap....
I also can't find the gems I purchased in NY! =(
I had some pink topaz that weren't cheap!!!!
I guess that means my "real" last goal is to clean/organize my beads stuff better....~sigh~
I just found out my friend - whom I've known THE longest (though we don't really communicate anymore) was just engaged! Ok ok...a slight tangent to my personal side/beliefs....I'm very happy for her of course and wish her all the best. But I'm not one of those girls that wishes I could be next-in-line (to get married). I really am not...and sometimes I wonder if this is really because of my traumatic childhood (watching/seeing/hearing my parents argue) or if it is really just all in my head. I don't wanna get too much into the specifics of my relationship....but a lot of people have asked me what my response would be if my bf proposes to me "today". Lets say I hope he doesn't cry his eyes out LOL!!!!
I don't know if I'll ever feel that "ready to get married" feeling...or if this "phase of my life" will pass....
Again - sorry for my long rants...
Reward time!
