Bla ahh ahh ewww

Man, being pregnant in the summer SUCKS!!
I'm burning up from hot flashes, and my back really hurts.

So I decided I needed to get a little more in touch with myself. What better way to do this then to dig deeper into my religion.
I have been somewhat lazy in practice for about a year now and it has taken a toll.
I need to tell about my experiences and would love to hear those of others. I have started a yahoo group to maybe help connect others with the same thoughts.
Enchanting Wicca
Thats the link.

I can now also be found on Myspace, check it out.

The End of Uniccarrius on Etsy.

I decided a while back that I was going to close my shop for Uniccarrius Crafts on Etsy. After close observation of sellers and buyers, I came to the conclusion that the only way you can get sales on etsy is to buy from a BnR (Buy and Replace). Most of the time you will spend more to get on the list, then it will cost for someone to buy you off the list. So, in turn you loose more money thinking you are getting more sales.
Needless to say "I will no longer be doing business on Etsy.com




I will however be opening a NEW business online. It will be a real website store!!
It's going to be a bath and body store, homemade soaps, lotions, creams, shampoos and conditioners, etc.. Aromatherapy, and even candles. All fresh herbs used in herbal healing concoctions.

I will keep bloggin to let everyone know!!

Awesome

THE END OF MY JEWELRY BUSINESS

I announced about a week ago in etsy, that I will no longer be making jewelry there. I will no longer list new items. All items are 15% off and that will go up each week until the items are sold or they expire.

So I had to cancel E-Force!! My time is so thin right now I was neglecting things in order to keep up with the group!
No more groups for me, think its best to just do it yourself.

At least I met some great people!

I'm listing a lot of new items this week, new product line getting underway.
I plan to expand my shop, with just about anything crafty you can think of!
I figure what better way to make a profit then to have as many sections as possible.

MY INTERVIEW WITH AKeepersJackpot

<<<<<<<<---
AKeepersJackpot's Periwinkle Necklace.

Q#1. You have a unique way of titling your items, What would you say determines the names?

Like everything else in life, I turn to Google for answers. Just kidding (about the everything else in life). Naming something purple necklace is just too vanilla as my husband would say. Of course there are times when I stump my own creativity and use something bland. Typically I'll type in the color, or two colors, and Google them. Something usually comes to me by page 50 or so.

Q#2. How long have you been beading?

About two years now. I made weird beaded pipecleaner creations as a kid and took a 20 year subbatical but I'm back full force without the fuzzy wire.

Q#3. If asked, what would you say is your biggest motivation when you are making jewelry?

This is where I go all doom and gloom. Like most of my recent hobbies, I think its the fear that someday I may not be able to do it. Briefly I have some unknown mystery neuro thing that causes dystonia. My right hand fingers are all perma-bent and tremory, I just made those words up. It has gotten worse over the last four years but we are playing around with different meds that hopefully will ease up the dystonia. So I'm trying all kinds of things that I would have made faces about 5 years ago. I also have the fantasy that I do well enough to quit my real job and do this for life, as its quite enjoyable!

Q#4. Do you prefer a hand made gift, or a store bought one?

I guess it depends. I always get excited about hand made jewelry, blankets and scarves, especially if the gift giver made it themsevles. There are gifts that are better off being store bought, such as the new printer I asked my husband to get me for Christmas.

Q#5. Do you feel that your age benefits you in the eyes of the people viewing your items?

I'm not really sure. I guess I'm at an age where I can relate to the jewelry tastes of the younger population, as well as the older working age population. I think I have items that cover both groups, and those are probably the two groups that online shop the most.

Q#6. If you could have one thing in life, what would it be?

Well, I've found love, and I'm usually happy, so I guess it would be a job where I could enjoy those things more!

My Birthday

On this date in 1981 a star was born, ME!
Seriously I'm 26 today, and I'm not but I still feel old.
My brother James woke me up at 9:45 with a phone call wishing me happy birthday, which usually doesn't happen.
It was a nice surprise.
My husband also remembered this year!
Its just another day to me.

Cigarrette Smoke

So, I decided to quit smoking today, after I heard my aunt has liver cancer. They also found a couple spots in her lungs. She has struggled with cancer before, when she had jaw cancer, then a routine checkup revealed she had lung cancer. She was treated with chem o and was said to be in remission. Now its back.
Her cancer was not caused by smoking, but I can't help but think about how my life is shortened by each puff I take. How my children will be 50x more likely to start smoking. How I don't ever want to do anything to cause that kind of pain for my family.
So, wish me good luck!
