Store, Trips, and MORE!

Hello!
I am a bit tired today, as I had a long weekend. Richard had a convention this weekend. So, while he was in Nebraska, I was hanging out with my parental units and my sister in Oklahoma.

News from the store... It's OPEN! I will still give good deals on shipping and discounts on custom orders for all of April! I hope to upload more jewelry today and will have more to list on through out the week by way of jewelry, coffee/tea sleeves, and probably scarves. I will definitely have a hat/scarf/pocket set (if not two of them) in the shop by the end of today!

If you have already looked at the shop, THANK YOU!!! I'm so blessed to have such a great community! If you haven't, no worries! Please do when it's convenient for you! This is just the beginning of my new chapter in life, but I would like to share it with everyone!

I am the Queen of Terrible Bloggers!

I have neglected you all for over a month and I apologize. Life has been hectic and cold for a while, but as spring settles in, I hope to be around more.

I have big news today... The Etsy shop is (finally) online and officially under construction!

The Spectacular Opening Sale will commence Friday, March 27, at 3pm (cst) and will continue through Sunday, March 29, at 9pm (cst). I will be offering special deals on shipping, reduced prices and bonus items to everyone who places an order of more than $25.00 during the sale.

I hope to have jewelry available by this weekend, but if not I will have a separate jewelry sale once I have pictures of them and can get the descriptions written.

There is nothing to buy yet, but please check out the store and read welcome message and the Store Policies. If you have any advice or suggestions, comments or questions, PLEASE contact me! Courtney.Roper@yahoo.com

God bless you all!

Return

I have been away from the blogging world since November and it is great to be back. Lots of travel over the holiday season, combined with no internet connection at the house, and then a cold snap that prevented me from being in the office for more than a few minutes (because it is unheated) all compounded into a two month hiatus in posting. Now that I’m back, I have SO much to show and share!

I think the two most pressing things are:

* I joined Thing-A-Day 2009, and so for the month of February I will be making one (at least) new thing every day! I hope to get pictures of them all and share them with you here… As today is the fourth, I think I will start the Thing-A-Day today, and then add in extras as make-up things.

* The other exciting thing is that I am going to open a shop on Etsy! It will be called The Dapple Apple and should be up and running by THIS Saturday, February 7, 2009! I will be selling some of my paintings, many unique jewelry designs, hats & scarf & other crocheted things. Eventually, the inventory will include prints of some drawings and maybe paintings too, along with all ot the other things I am working on making like creature tote bags, purses, and handmade pillow animals, and much more!

It has been a great two months for Richard and me. Hope you are all well and survived the holiday season…
