My Teams.

I am a member of two seller teams on Etsy. Teams are groups of people with something in common, that work together to promote each other and support each other in their shops. 

The first team is The Homefront Team. We are all spouses of military members. 

Please click HERE to check out items from the Homefront Team.

The second is Team SC. We all live in South Carolina. 

Please click HERE to check out items from South Carolina.

Please support me and my teams in our efforts in our shops!

Fairy Paintings

In the next day or so, I will be posting some new items on Jubillie. I have some fairy princess art. These pieces are multi-media, and super cute and sparkly. I need to take pictures when the light is right, then they will be up. Keep a look out for them!

Bad Night

I had a bad night last night. I was sleepy, but my body refused to cooperate. I spent about 4 hours working at ChaCha, then played in the Etsy chat rooms for a bit. I finally gave up and hit the bed again around 4:15, where I watched the second half of Knocked Up, before finally falling asleep... only to wake up when B's alarm went off an hour later. 

This morning I have been taking more pictures for my site. Please check out my stuff!! 

But, for now, I need a nap!

Back to Work Tomorrow-

I have taken a few days off from making stock for my store, from blogging, and from ChaCha-ing while we have had some company. 

I will be back in full force tomorrow. 

Sick...

This is the way I feel today. It has been this way the last couple of days. In a few hours, I usually feel better... but, until then, I feel like poor Peggy Ann. "Sick" by Shel Silverstein

"I cannot go to school today"

Said little Peggy Ann McKay.

"I have the measles and the mumps,

A gash, a rash and purple bumps.

My mouth is wet, my throat is dry.

I'm going blind in my right eye.

My tonsils are as big as rocks,

I've counted sixteen chicken pox.

And there's one more - that's seventeen,

And don't you think my face looks green?

My leg is cut, my eyes are blue,

It might be the instamatic flu.

I cough and sneeze and gasp and choke,

I'm sure that my left leg is broke.

My hip hurts when I move my chin,

My belly button's caving in.

My back is wrenched, my ankle's sprained,

My 'pendix pains each time it rains.

My toes are cold, my toes are numb,

I have a sliver in my thumb.

My neck is stiff, my voice is weak,

I hardly whisper when I speak.

My tongue is filling up my mouth,

I think my hair is falling out.

My elbow's bent, my spine ain't straight,

My temperature is one-o-eight.

My brain is shrunk, I cannot hear,

There's a hole inside my ear.

I have a hangnail, and my heart is ...

What? What's that? What's that you say?

You say today is .............. Saturday?

G'bye, I'm going out to play!"

Weddings and Things...

There is a lot of wedding talk lately around here. Both my sister and I have a few weddings to attend this year. Yesterday my cousin and I went to David's Bridal for her to try on dresses for when she is the maid of honor in an upcoming wedding. 

I am going to attempt to do a wedding portrait this weekend. I have been married almost 3 years, but never succeeded in getting one... so, we are trying again. This is me on my wedding day with 3 of my bride's maids:

I wish I had known about Etsy when I was wedding planning. If so, I might have scored something like this bracelet, from seller Lazy Angel, back then!! I love it!

In the mean time, click HERE to head over to my site, and check out my pieces... I will be adding more new stuff one the company parade finishes at our house!

Frustrated

This morning I woke up a little frustrated. I had 2 sales on my Etsy site, and then nothing. I am starting to doubt myself, and the wisdom of this plan of mine! I am hoping that this feeling is just because I had a bad night of sleep. I will revisit this thought tomorrow. I am spending my last day with my cousin before she leaves... tomorrow I will get back to actively pushing the site, and trying to make it publicly findable! In the mean time, please go check it out! www.jubillie.etsy.com. 

The Captian says...

Yesterday, my cousin April came to visit. We took her to downtown Charleston for dinner. We ended up walking around the Market Street area, and wandered into the early (8-9 pm) bar scene. There was not too much going on, obviously. It has been a few years since I have been remotely active on the bar scene... but even I know that 8 is a bit early for anything good to happen! 

We were just sitting and talking, and laughing a little at the only thing going on... a couple of girls who had probably been drinking since noon... they were dancing around all over the place and drawing a lot of attention. 

All of a sudden, April announces that there is a Pirate in the bar. Good old Captain Morgan had come to Charleston. 

My New Favorite Piece

Earlier this week, on www.jubillie.etsy.com , I sold my favorite piece that I currently had listed. This morning, I woke up with a new favorite. You can click on the picture to go see it!

I called this piece my Down Town Brown Necklace, because it really reminded me of when I used to go downtown with my friend Heather and my sister Chris.  I miss those days... though, when I really think about it, I think what I really miss is being able to hang out with my friends.  That is why this piece made me happy... it reminded me of the old days! 

New Etsy Experience

Last night I had my first experience chatting in the Etsy chat rooms. I have to say, it was a little hard to follow... but I haven't spent time in a chat room at all since I met my husband, and I think it is something I will just have to get used to. 

However, I was able to find a few items that I fell in love with. 

At Darkdwelling's Etsy sight, I found these:

She hand paints these ornaments, and will do custom colors!!! I love it! Check out her site, and mine too!
