Ok so wedding season is kicking my ass (in a good way) but i swear to all that is holy i am going to start blogging for real again very soon.

I have all kinds of stuff to share- A new DIY tutorial that I am making for http://www.wtfetsy.com, new "i wish someone would invent this" posts, and perhaps some things i've learned about brides and customers...

Ive almost hit 500 sales in my etsy shop!

I just turned 30!

I got a dog!

Ha.

Talk to you soon, i promise.

So much radness

I was contacted yesterday for the best custom piece ever. The bide is getting married while running the rock & roll half marathon in Vegas! Her outfit is super cute and fun.

I can't wait to start on this one! Hopefully the word will spread that i like nutty custom jobs :)

UGH.

Have you heard about this vacation mode issue on Etsy?

No friggen wonder my sales/views have been down!!!

I sort of feel like they should give me a free month of fees or something....I mean, shouldn't they have sent an email out?

1 Step at a Time....

So it seems that my shops are finally starting to pick back up after having a slow month following my 2 week vacation mode. I have definitely been spending more money than i am making as well with all the new changes and trying to roll out new styles and such.

However, i think the initial investment phase is over and now i can start getting new stuff out there. I'm getting a tad worried that all of this might not happen fast enough and i may end up having to get a real job...again. boo.

Ive been lightly considering getting a micro loan for advertising...Just bumping my budget for my ebay ad on google adwords from $2 to $4 a day made a huge difference...so imagine what $50 a day would do. I think that is getting a bit ahead of things but you know what i mean.

I don't know i think i am just in that place of - what happens next. I had a steady flow of income, a legal small business and all that good stuff in California. Here in Georgia I have not even gotten my drivers license yet never the less registered my business.

1 step at a time I guess.

I hope you are all well!

I need your help!

Ok so I am in the process of having my own e commerce site built so that I can stop paying etsy and ebay fees. To do this I need to come up with a new domain name.

What do you think of ColorfulVeil.com? How about BraveBrides.com? BraveBrideVeils.com?

I think my vote is with ColorfulVeil.com....

Hello All!

Ok so, I am back to having etsy/ebay as my full time job and I will for sure start blogging again.
