I feel like I've been going none stop all day long! I finally have internet access again and I've slowly started catching up on all the blog posts that I missed. I felt so left out! I'm having fun reading everything, but it's taking me awhile :P So if I haven't been by your blog yet, don't worry, I should be soon! I've been starting by catching up with my etsybloggers, and I plan on returning to my normal entre card drops tomorrow if at all possible!
Yesterday was really exciting! My dear hubby and I were talking as we drove to the bead store about building a web-site. He's a geek-extraordinaire, and has offered to build one for me. My first reaction was, "I'm managing enough sites with etsy and three blogs!" Then, as I thought about it more, I began to see more and more possibilities for having my own web-site. One of the things that I'd really like to do in the near future is start working on getting some consignment and wholesale accounts in the local area. I was thinking I'd try to get cracking on that after the New Year. So I was thinking that it would be fantastic to have a web-site that I could put in a brochure for consignments and wholesale accounts. That way I can produce a small brochure, and then say, "for futher examples please see ...." My dear hubby loved the idea and we talked about the whole to the bead store!
At the bead store I had several things I was looking for specifically, and I ended up in a long conversation with the store owner. I have a new project I want to try, the patterns from a book, so I was double checking with her that I had the right materials. As we chatted we ended up talking about many things, and I showed her a macrame piece that I had in my pocket (working on it in the car), she was very impressed! Which surprised me since I've just started working with macrame... Anyway, next thing I know she was telling me that she loves to support local artisans and if I ever wanted to sell in her shop to let her know!
I was floored, and super excited! We talked over details and I'll be going back in the next few weeks to set it all up! I couldn't believe that we'd JUST been talking about trying to pursue opportunities like this, and one was handed to me, dropped right in my lap. Isn't that exciting?
Today was our first radio program on Blockhead Radio! I'll be telling you more about that tomorrow - so stay tuned! I'll just say for now that I think it really well :)
I wanted to share a blog post with you that a friend of mine put together. I thought it was really inciteful and I'm looking forward to reading the rest she has to share! Go here to find the blog post :)
Oh yes, and for anyone who has been wondering, I do plan on resuming my promotions series, hopefully Saturday or Sunday.

BIG WOOTS! That is totally awesome! And you and HotLips rocked it out on the show :)
Great show yesterday!!!!!!
You did a great job on the radio show yesterday! Wonderful news on the bead store possibilities! Tell me, how'd you get hubby to go with you to a bead store willingly? I haven't figured that one out yet!
that's great! It always advantageous to talk to store owners. Good think you had something in your pocket...or around your neck!
Hi beautiful! Definitely have missed you in the forums! Right behind you too with consignment. One of my friends suggested that as a way to make income since i lost my job. I hope you blog about it. I am going to post in the forum about the how to's and then blog about it
