When it Rains, It Pours

I can't believe it! I went over a month without a single sale. I went through all the stages of depression several times during that month. Then I got my first sale. The customer wanted 2 of something that I had one of. So we finalized the sale on Saturday. I was so excited.

Sunday I went to the store real quick. And I mean quick. When I got home I had 2 more sales. I think I will run to the store real quick at least twice a day. Do you think that will work everytime? Wouldn't it be nice?

When it rains, it pours. I am from South Texas and believe me that is so true. But there is always a drought around the corner. I just gotta keep the good vibes going.

I am making an effort to blog at least 3 times a week. Sometimes it may be kinda disjointed and quick like this one. But there are a couple of subjects in my mind that I really want to share. Right now I am just having a hard time balancing everything.

I want the option to change the number of hours in a day. There are some days (like the past week) when I need the days to include about 30 to 36 hours. Then I could maybe make some progress. Click here to read more!

Sweet Victory

I did it! I made my first sale today. All the waiting, wondering, cursing was worth it. Now I am energized to make even more jewelry.

The last week or so has been difficult. When I made the decision to open a store, I wasn't sure that it would be worth it. And I have been having lots of doubts as to whether I made the right decision. I keep second guessing the logic behind listing the items that I listed, the prices that I put on those pieces, the idea of selling my creations. That is all still there, but

I made a sale! I made a sale! I made a sale!

I shouldnt get so excited, after all, it is just one sale. But it is my first sale. The first time someone has paid money, real money, for something that I made. And do you know what? It feels good. I like the way it feels. I want more!

I am too excited to sit here and pound away at the keyboard.

I am renewing my committment to making my store a success. And I am going to try my hardest to blog at least 3 times a week. I am thinking that I need to make a schedule (like work) and stick to it. What do you think? Do you think I can do it?

I DO! Click here to read more!
