Ooops!

I am gonna fire this poor old thing up again after not posting in like forevah? Starting over selling in a new venue and a new Etsy shop with more newness to come. Updates to follow.

At the risk of turning my blog into an Etsyfest- or how about Etsypalloza- I am starting a new project. Every Saturday morning, when I've had enough coffee of course, I will post my Top 12 or so Favorites from Etsy. I am trying to stick with a theme each time, although sometimes the theme could be so loose you can't tell what it is...
And here are this weeks winners: Theme is "Aqua reminds me of summer days" (Hint: Click on image to enlarge)

New Initial Pendants

I have made a new customized initial pendant for sale in my Etsy shop- You can choose your intial, choose your border, and for a small extra charge you can choose the scrabble tile letter on the back!

Keep calm and carry on...

Right. So I made a ton of scrabble tile pendants to have on hand as stock for my Etsy shop, and after they had cured for about a week they started to crack right down the middle. Lost about 80% of the finished pendants. Pfffttt. Then I saw on the Etsy Forums that I was not the only one who has had Diamond Glaze do this lately. Well, now I know what happened, but am scrambling to fill the orders I have. OOOooohhh yes- some kinda fun we havin now!I have switched to another brand of glaze, so I'm hoping there will be no more problems. Will post disaster pics in morning.

It's Backup Day everybody! Back up those important files to a disk right now! I recently had a hard drive crash on me, and I lost everything. Photos, taxes, banners, everything! And I still can't remember where I got the fonts I had, so those are gone forever too. I am the queen of back up now- I don't want to have to redo everything ever again- OOhhhh, the files I lost. *snivel*

AAwwwwww, little Fred, the brown porcupine pendant has found a new home! He is going to be bundled up and sent to live with a nice lady in Montana. Bon voyage, freddy!

And on and on...

It just continues- you would think in a mountain town they would know how to use a snowplow, but nope. Had to walk to store to get shipping supplies, and that was very dangerous. I am grateful that our power has stayed on, I know there have been outages all over. Please stay on- All I have is electric heat, and it's damn cold!
