I made my first sale!  *Happy dance*  Granted it was on my flawed marked down totes but I don't care!  I'll at least make a tiny bit or break even on those and they will be out of my house!  I just hope the buyer is happy and gives me some good feedback. 

I'm waiting to get my items I personally purchased from some other Etsy sellers, so I hope when those come I get good feedback as a buyer.  All feedback ratings as a buyer or a seller will help me in the future.  Because showing people you pay on time or ship on time is good.

I've got half the walls and all of the flooring done in the laundry room.  I need to rent a truck to go back and get the rest of the paneling.  The more I look at the ceiling the more I think I might fore go covering it for a little while.  It looks like it will give me lots of trouble.

I've got lots of items posted for sale on the Etsy site.  Lots of lookers but no buyers.  It's all most likely due to no feedback rating since I'm a new member.  But I can't build a feedback rating unless I buy from people or they buy from me.  So I started buying from people.  Mind you it's things I need or gifts for people's birthdays, so it's not like I'm doing it for nothing. 

Very tired.  Kinda sore too.  I think it is time for bed.

I woke up this morning to the sound of my magic box being pushed off my night stand and broken to bits.  I don't know which cat did it but if I knew they'd be dead by now.  My grandmother gave me that thing.  I'm trying to glue together as much of it as I can at the moment.

It's not good to be woken up that way in the morning after a long week.  Thursday night neither Scott or myself got much sleep after coming back from the guys' apartment.  Then Friday we went to see Gem of the Ocean at Everyman.  It's an August Wilson play so it was 3 hours with the intermission.  Good, but long.  Scott didn't get it though.

I plan to get to work on that room today.  Since it's not going to rain outside there is no excuse not to break all the obstacles up and take them to the dump.  I'd at least like to have the floor laid by the weekend.

Yay I'm on Etsy!  Now just to get some sales.

 

Oh and by the by, my site is being wicked slow today!

Just waiting on the Paypal stuff to verify my accounts and I should be able to go live tomorrow.  Which means a day full of uploading images and writing descriptions.  Well, most likely not a full day since I think I'm only starting with 30 items.  Regardless, be sure to check my shop out on Etsy tomorrow evening and tell me what you think of everything!  Suggestions and feedback are welcome, orders too! :0)

I finished the personal website.  It directs you to Etsy to buy anyway, but having one for the store on my own makes it more legit.  You can sometimes get random draws that way too.  Scott just wants to fix it so it ends up looking the same on everyone's computers.  I forget that not everyone keeps their screen displays on high res and that makes the page look different. 

Next week I plan to start work on the final room in the house that needs to be finished.  Remember those pictures of the laundry room I posted a while back.  The place with no floor, walls and ceiling?  I hope to have it finished by end of the month.  I think I'm going to wait to start the gardening stuff till April because of all of that.
