I am always so happy when a customer really likes what they have purchased! It just gives me a really good feeling! I got information today from the last online customer I had that she got her anklet and "just loves it"! It was so weird, because when she made her purchase from ecrater it didn't show up in the shop as a sale. Somehow it just went through Google checkout without affecting the ecrater shop. Anyway, I prefer my shop on etsy.com, but my ecrater shop is still there I just don't update it as frequently. I am glad she found me and really glad she likes her anklet! A good day for me!!

Well, I decided I wanted my "featured items" on my Etsy shop to have some significance! So, I decided to offer free shipping on those 3 items. This is a nice way to offer a deal! I can do it beforehand so that when the customer checks out they are not charged shipping. No need to do refunds back for a percentage sale or any of that stuff. Straightforward and simple. Just the way I like it!! So, I hope some of you will take advantage of it! And if there is a particular item you would like "featured" just let me know! I'd be glad to help folks out that way!! This is my newest piece- http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=28913676.

Wow! It has been so long since I updated this blog! I just have felt mute for quite some time and I also had stopped making jewelry much. I finally have found the right combo of meds to keep my pain down at least for now, and so gradually I am coming out of this depression that has been so dark and deep lately. I am very grateful to be feeling better. It is very difficult for me to realize that my depression is ongoing and that I have to treat it as "acute" everyday and do the things necessary to abate it. Things like listening to music, meditation, prayer, spiritual reading, the list goes on. So, here's to hoping I am back on track! I would love it if you would take a look at some of my new items in my Etsy shop. I like some of the new things I have made quite a bit. I have more coming too!
