I love making jewelry and I love supporting Awareness Causes. I blog about Epilepsy and I have a couple of pages devoted to it. I also blog about my shop Jewelry by Cheryls Purple Cow on ArtFire. I love to write tutorials on Facebook, Blogger and other networking subjects.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14029394665456679094noreply@blogger.comBlogger210125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8578907979838889836.post-45309446820585430392012-03-13T19:00:00.000-07:002012-03-13T19:00:00.476-07:00Awareness Ribbon Beads Collection on ArtFire<span style="color: #54408e; font-family: comic sans ms; font-size: small;">

That’s because I am a bargain hunter and rarely pay full price for beads. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #8064a2; font-family: Comic Sans MS;">I dreamed of being able to offer Awareness Ribbon Beads to my customers at prices significantly lower than the going price. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #8064a2; font-family: Comic Sans MS;">Well, dreams do come true. I am now purchasing my beads from the factory.</span><br />
<span style="color: #8064a2; font-family: Comic Sans MS;">Last week I received this box </span><br />
<span style="color: #8064a2; font-family: Comic Sans MS;"><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-1FcnXYMlVjU/T196n9AwFHI/AAAAAAAACm0/jsAqsza3gPI/s1600-h/JPM%252520order%252520March%2525202012%2525201%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img alt="JPM order March 2012 1" border="0" height="205" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-ErnXz1GDsUo/T196oIJZs2I/AAAAAAAACm8/QE0wabBhj-E/JPM%252520order%252520March%2525202012%2525201_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border: 0px none; display: inline; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="JPM order March 2012 1" width="244" /></a></span><br />
<span style="color: #8064a2; font-family: Comic Sans MS;">and inside the big box were these little boxes</span><br />

<span style="color: #8064a2; font-family: Comic Sans MS;">and inside the little boxes were these bags</span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: #8064a2; font-family: Comic Sans MS;">and inside the bags were Awareness Ribbon Beads (one kilo of each color ribbon)</span><br />

The last few months of 2011 brought many changes to my life. I had a total knee replacement and I’m still recovering from it. I still go to physical therapy three times a week for about 2 hours each day. It takes up quite a bit of my time. I try to limit my activity on those days so I can concentrate my energies on my knee. As a result of this and some other changes, my online presence has dwindled to almost non-existent. </span><br />

<span style="color: #54408e; font-family: comic sans ms; font-size: large;">I am trying to become as active online as I was in the past but between PT and preparing to move, it seems that I have no extra time.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #54408e; font-family: comic sans ms; font-size: large;">That’s right, I said moving. When we moved to Nevada we knew it was a temporary home for us. Circumstances have changed and we are hoping to move back to Texas this year. I’m real excited, </span><br />

We haven’t decided what area of Texas, but we are considering the Fort Worth area. Know any good bead shops in the area?</span><br />

<span style="color: #54408e; font-family: comic sans ms; font-size: large;">I started this post 2 weeks ago and forgot to publish it. I guess this is a case of better late than never.</span><br />

She's a fellow Texan and some of her designs are Awareness designs. <br /><span style="color: #54408e; font-family: comic sans ms; font-size: small;">I didn't realize until I started researching for this interview that she has her own website, <a href="http://www.osebastian.com/" target="_blank">OSebastian</a>. <br /> <br />May I present, Karen Snyders OSebastian.</span> </span> <br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;">1. Is there a special meaning behind the name O. Sebastian?</span><br />
<span style="color: #54408e; font-family: comic sans ms; font-size: small;">Yes there is! I created my business just a few months after my son, Sebastian, was born. Since the whole reason for having my own business from home was to be able to be a full-time Mama to my children, it seemed appropriate to name it after him.</span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><img align="left" alt="Sterling Silver Mothers Ring Family Ring by Karen Snyders OSebastian" border="0" height="180" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-F5UXhV8SQaU/ToJD-mGr1QI/AAAAAAAACak/_sMy53QzxxE/Sterling%252520Silver%252520Mothers%252520Ring%252520Family%252520Ring%252520by%252520Karen%252520Snyders%252520OSebastian%25255B7%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" style="border-width: 0px; display: inline; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px;" title="Sterling Silver Mothers Ring Family Ring by Karen Snyders OSebastian" width="240" /> </span><br />
<span style="color: black;">2. What prompted you to open shop?</span><br />
<span style="color: #54408e; font-family: comic sans ms; font-size: small;">I had been selling quite a bit to family and friends and kept being asked, "Where can I send my friends to find your work?"</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;"></span><br />
<span style="color: black;">3. If you had the resources and time what would you do?</span><br />
<span style="color: #54408e; font-family: comic sans ms; font-size: small;">I would create a NPO to connect hand made artists with charities that need their donations.</span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><img align="right" alt="Sterling Silver Os Necklace and Nexus Pendant Bundle by Karen Snyders OSebastian" border="0" height="240" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-3RvrtYyq6v4/ToJD_JntFrI/AAAAAAAACao/qj08cioTaB4/Sterling%252520Silver%252520Os%252520Necklace%252520and%252520Nexus%252520Pendant%252520Bundle%252520by%252520Karen%252520Snyders%252520OSebastian%25255B7%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" style="border-width: 0px; display: inline; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px;" title="Sterling Silver Os Necklace and Nexus Pendant Bundle by Karen Snyders OSebastian" width="180" /> </span><br />
<span style="color: black;">4. Why do you create?</span><br />
<span style="color: #54408e; font-family: comic sans ms; font-size: small;">Because it is a necessary thing for me. I am at my worst when I can't be creative. I spent 15 years in corporate sales and learned that having a creative outlet is necessary to maintain my sanity!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;">5. If you could talk to anyone, past or present, who would you talk to and what would you say?</span><br />
<span style="color: #54408e; font-family: comic sans ms; font-size: small;">I wish I had a high-brow answer for this question, but I don't. I'd want to talk to Sam Elliott! I'd probably ask him all sorts of silly questions, but mainly I'd want to tell him how much I admire his work and his talent.</span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><a href="http://www.artfire.com/ext/shop/product_view/osebastian/3276837"><img align="left" alt="Sterling Silver Romanov Micro Maille ring by Karen Snyders OSebastian" border="0" height="180" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-THWbJcREv2U/ToJD_URwy4I/AAAAAAAACas/mBuQgbWMFac/Sterling%252520Silver%252520Romanov%252520Micro%252520Maille%252520ring%252520by%252520Karen%252520Snyders%252520OSebastian%25255B12%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" style="border-width: 0px; display: inline; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px;" title="Sterling Silver Romanov Micro Maille ring by Karen Snyders OSebastian" width="240" /></a> </span><br />
<span style="color: black;">6. Explain Chix</span><br />
<span style="color: #54408e; font-family: comic sans ms; font-size: small;">To me, Chix is about women being supportive and encouraging to one another. In my corporate life, I found women to be antagonistic and competitive with one another - and rarely, if ever, supportive. That's one of the things I do not miss about that time. It isn't possible to always be up-beat and in great spirits. It isn't possible to always look at my own work objectively. The women of Chix always help me find the up side to whatever is going on - and they celebrate my victories with me, without jealousy or pettiness :)</span><br />

I ran into a problem in my supply shop, <a href="http://www.artfire.com/users/CherylsExtraBeads" target="_blank">Cheryls Extra Beads</a>, with this limitation. I like to have a section for new listings so my customers can easily view my newest listings. The drawback is that those items don't appear in the section with the rest of the items just like them. </span> <br /> <br /><span style="color: #9980c9; font-family: comic sans ms; font-size: large;">The way to work around the limitation is to make your own "Additional Sections" widget. You can see my widget in my studio, <a href="http://www.artfire.com/users/CherylsExtraBeads" target="_blank">Cheryls Extra Beads</a>. </span> <br /><span class="fullpost"> <br /><span style="color: #9980c9; font-family: comic sans ms; font-size: large;">First identify the new section(s) you want to set up, I’ll use "New Listings" for this tutorial. </span> <br /> <br /><span style="color: #9980c9; font-family: comic sans ms; font-size: large;">Create a graphic to represent the section using whatever program you like. The graphic should be no more than 150 pixels wide and about half that tall. You will also need a graphic for the title "Additional Shop Sections".</span> </span><br />
<span class="fullpost"> </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img align="left" alt="Addl Shop Sections Image" border="0" height="66" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-CQovNaRhjBw/TnO3Wn1NiXI/AAAAAAAACaY/ef8ubBqmvvM/AddlShopSectionsImage5.jpg?imgmax=800" style="border-width: 0px; display: inline; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px;" title="Addl Shop Sections Image" width="156" /> </div>
<img align="right" alt="New Listings Button" border="0" height="56" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-_FbjtwKi82I/TnO3W5t-5II/AAAAAAAACac/zWp2AuRTl2Y/NewListingsButton5.jpg?imgmax=800" style="border-width: 0px; display: inline; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px;" title="New Listings Button" width="156" /> <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br /><span style="color: #9980c9; font-family: comic sans ms; font-size: large;">Upload the graphics to Picasa, Flickr or Photobucket. Copy the link to the image, you will need that later. </span><br />
<span style="color: #9980c9; font-family: comic sans ms; font-size: large;">Create a unique tag to use on the items that should appear in this section. I used "newlisting". Tag the items.</span><br />
<span style="color: #9980c9; font-family: comic sans ms; font-size: large;">Go to your studio and type your tag in the search box and make sure the drop down menu reads “Search <br />This Shop”. Copy the url address of the search from your browser. Don’t worry if none of your items show up right away, it can take 15 to 30 minutes for an item to show up in the search once you have tagged it.</span><br />
<span style="color: #9980c9; font-family: comic sans ms; font-size: large;">Once you have the link to your graphics and the link to your search, you are ready to create your widget.</span><br />
<span style="color: #9980c9; font-family: comic sans ms; font-size: large;">Part 1 of the widget is the title. This does not link to a search so all you need to do is replace the image source (green text) with the link to your image.</span><br />
<li><img src="<span style="color: green;">https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-_QUj76_9Zb4/TmULGtJ4bEI/AAAAAAAACZQ/jFDGwxF-W4I/s144/Addl%252520Shop%252520Sections%252520Image.jpg" height="58" width="144" /</span>></li><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #9980c9; font-family: comic sans ms; font-size: large;">Part 2 of the widget is your new section. Here you will need to replace the link (blue text) with the url address for the appropriate search. Then replace the image source (green text) with the link to your image. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<li><a href="<span style="color: #0070c0;">http://www.artfire.com/ext/shop/studio/CherylsExtraBeads/0/0/0/augsep11</span>"><img src="<span style="color: green;">https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-BFKsLMsoi7w/TmUJeiZGXrI/AAAAAAAACY4/5bhxkIk-lqI/s144/New%252520Listings%252520Button.jpg" height="48" width="144" /</span>></a></li></div>
<span style="color: #9980c9; font-family: comic sans ms; font-size: large;">You will need to repeat Part 2 for each of your new sections.</span><br />
<span style="color: #9980c9; font-family: comic sans ms; font-size: large;">My widget has the following special sections: New Listings, Bargains, Clearance and Dollar Listings. </span><br />
<span style="color: #9980c9; font-family: comic sans ms; font-size: large;">After I had the widget in place I decided to have a BOGO sale and it was real easy to add that section. Just repeat Part 2 for the new section and add it to the bottom of the widget already in your shop.</span><br />
<span style="color: #9980c9; font-family: comic sans ms; font-size: large;">I welcome any questions or comments you have regarding this tutorial or any comments or suggestions regarding the widget in my shop. I moderate all comments so if you don’t want your comment published please let me know.</span><br />

I ran into a problem in my supply shop with this limitation. I like to have a section of new listings so my customers can easily view my newest listings. But items in that section don't appear in the section with the rest of the items just like them.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #400080; font-family: Architects Daughter;">I tried creating my own widget for all my sections but I had a mental block and just could not get it to work properly. All my items are in the appropriate ArtFire studio sections by bead type. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #400080; font-family: Architects Daughter;">I added a widget for my special sections: New Listings, Bargains, Clearance and Dollar Listings. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #400080; font-family: Architects Daughter;">After I had the widget in place I decided to have a BOGO sale and it was real easy to add another section to my widget.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #400080; font-family: Architects Daughter;">I'm working on the tutorial so you can have additional sections. It should be out in the next day or two. In the meantime, please check out the widget in </span><a href="http://www.artfire.com/users/CherylsExtraBeads" target="_blank"><span style="color: #400080; font-family: Architects Daughter;">Cheryls Extra Beads</span></a><span style="color: #400080; font-family: Architects Daughter;">. I would love to get some feedback before I write the tutorial. Just in case I decide to change it up a little.</span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14029394665456679094noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8578907979838889836.post-32470391920687484682011-09-08T20:08:00.000-07:002011-09-08T20:08:01.995-07:00Time for a New Knee<span style="color: #9980c9; font-family: Comic Sans MS; font-size: large;">
In 1992 my boyfriend and I were visiting my Mother in Texas. One evening they started discussing the various bones each had broken. I chimed in with my .02¢. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #9980c9; font-family: Comic Sans MS; font-size: large;"> "I'm 33 years old and I have never broken a bone in my body." I should know better than to tempt Fate. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #9980c9; font-family: Comic Sans MS; font-size: large;">The next day was supposed to be our last day in Texas but I slipped and fell. I landed on the concrete, kneecap first. I shattered my kneecap and </span><span style="color: #9980c9; font-family: Comic Sans MS; font-size: large;">had to be hospitalized for my first knee surgery. </span><span style="color: #9980c9; font-family: Comic Sans MS; font-size: large;">I ended up with a scar across the knee. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #9980c9; font-family: Comic Sans MS; font-size: large;"> Since then I have had 3 arthroscopic surgeries, each time my knee was in worse shape. As of two years ago there was no cartilage left in the knee and I was getting sores on the bone from the friction. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #9980c9; font-family: Comic Sans MS; font-size: large;">I will be getting a knee replacement on October 31. I'm looking forward to being able to walk pain-free. I'm not looking forward to the recuperation. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #9980c9; font-family: Comic Sans MS; font-size: large;">One of the things I must do before the surgery is de-clutter my house. I have crafting supplies and completed crafts that need new homes. I am posting pictures of everything on my <a href="http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.195028237184833.43303.132805483407109">Facebook Page</a>. The prices are extremely reasonable. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #9980c9; font-family: Comic Sans MS; font-size: large;">Be sure to stop by and see what I have that you can't possibly live without at a price you can't pass up. </span><br />

Between fighting allergies and planning my knee replacement surgery, I have allowed my mood and energy levels to go way down. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #9980c9; font-family: Comic Sans MS; font-size: large;"> But I received a nice energy boost thanks to <a href="http://www.artfire.com/ext/shop/studio/FourCornersUSA">FourCornersUSA</a> and <a href="http://www.artfire.com/ext/shop/studio/GemsCrystalsAndWire">GemsCrystalsandWire</a>. </span><br />

A funny thing happened with the drawing on my 700 Fan Gemstone Giveaway. I just can't believe it....
<span class="fullpost"> <br />
<br />
I used an application to host the giveaway to ensure that the winner was random.
This is a screenshot of the first drawing<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSmUyMidN90xTpYaeHidnN9a-5_NGKgXDPP1u0MpFYKLpUVc3ztzdCuc0Ed3aKXrhHb0-MKe4Kmc2Uv8AaHh-6Hdh79iCE17RuVgWGvSnqutk0Fbmdm-aeOaljr9YNQRNL_2oDW0wrWQjH/s1600/700+fan+winner+larry.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSmUyMidN90xTpYaeHidnN9a-5_NGKgXDPP1u0MpFYKLpUVc3ztzdCuc0Ed3aKXrhHb0-MKe4Kmc2Uv8AaHh-6Hdh79iCE17RuVgWGvSnqutk0Fbmdm-aeOaljr9YNQRNL_2oDW0wrWQjH/s320/700+fan+winner+larry.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
I know that my husband won't use the gemstones. Besides I don't want people to think the drawing was rigged.
So I hit the "Re-Draw" button. And the winner is:
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5UpaFLFUFDkEceHgWUnufwzYA-qlSY5syYmTTuqiSZQFd4jLxjX_kJGrFQL1DEl2YvDTNlUy-InjUyjxsF2SchQE6o6K7QrwT0V6r1z3dWicW4Oke1EC5Xr1Z15cmVRhUQoq34feloF1q/s1600/700+fan+winner+larry2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="221" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5UpaFLFUFDkEceHgWUnufwzYA-qlSY5syYmTTuqiSZQFd4jLxjX_kJGrFQL1DEl2YvDTNlUy-InjUyjxsF2SchQE6o6K7QrwT0V6r1z3dWicW4Oke1EC5Xr1Z15cmVRhUQoq34feloF1q/s320/700+fan+winner+larry2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
Oops. I forgot to dis-qualify him. Are you sure this drawing isn't rigged?
I drew again and the real winner of the Giveaway is Michelle Berry.

I love a customer who takes the initiative to ask for something they don't see in your shop.</span><br />

I came up with some pretty good excuses not to open a shop. One of the most powerful excuses was that my shop would fail because I was just one person and no one would ever find me. </span><br />

</tbody></table><span style="color: #9980c9; font-family: comic sans ms; font-size: large;"> I didn't know anyone with an internet shop and I was confident that it was impossible to become friends with other shop owners and artisans I met over the internet. I was WRONG!</span><br />
<span style="color: #9980c9; font-family: comic sans ms; font-size: large;"> </span><br />
<span style="color: #9980c9; font-family: comic sans ms; font-size: large;">This is the story of The Chix. The Chix is a very small group of shop owners who have become friends. We listen to each other and we support each other. I bet that only 4 of the 10 know where the name came from. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #9980c9; font-family: comic sans ms; font-size: large;">Back in January 2010 I met <a href="http://www.artfire.com/users/ArtisanOriginals" target="_blank">Artisan Originals</a> and <a href="http://www.artfire.com/users/FruitsOfTheBloom" target="_blank">Fruits Of the Bloom</a> on twitter. We started hanging out together with a small group of artisans. To make references easier we started referring to ourselves as the Chix. I don’t remember who used the term first, but I decided to open a twitter account using Chix in the handle. </span><br />

</tbody></table><span style="color: #9980c9; font-family: comic sans ms; font-size: large;"> We don’t use twitter as much as we use Facebook these days. Some of the original Chix don’t use Facebook but we found new Chix on Facebook. We decided to keep the group as small as possible so that we can remain close.</span><br />
<span style="color: #9980c9; font-family: comic sans ms; font-size: large;"> </span><br />
<span style="color: #9980c9; font-family: comic sans ms; font-size: large;">The Chix have a few things in common. We all have shops on ArtFire and Facebook pages. We realized that each one of us deals with serious health issues, either our own or a family members. </span><br />

I had my random number generator, my spreadsheet with the entries and their numbers and of course, The Beads.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-vd-JDTFleYE/TgKwAZXxgkI/AAAAAAAACFM/CIGWCUK1YSw/s1600/600%2BFan%2BBeads%2B2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="367" width="400" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-vd-JDTFleYE/TgKwAZXxgkI/AAAAAAAACFM/CIGWCUK1YSw/s400/600%2BFan%2BBeads%2B2.JPG" /></a></div><br />
And then at 7:50.... <span class="fullpost"> My neighbor called. I was supposed to pick something up for her earlier and I got focused on beads and forgot. But I managed to take care of it quickly. <br />
<br />
The Random Number Generator spit out the number 16. <br />

I was in quite a few this month so I decided to break it down into 2 posts. <br />

We are there for each other through good and bad times.</span><br />
