Birthday Countdown Day 1 It's my birthday

Okay, so, I thought I would get to sleep in today. No school means no school bus. Yum..nope! Oldest thought it would be fun to wake up early then wake me up. It would not be such a big deal expect instead of just turning on the tv to quietly let me wake up. She threw the lights on, and discover the dog had an accident in the bed. Sigh...birthday gift from a dog.

Higher note..my birthday present was bucket of bling. An bucket of assortment of different size of aylric bling. here is a link Kids-Crafts-Bucket-of-Bling-Assorted-Acrylic-Jewels

Birthday Countdown Day 2

Okay this morning I made carrot cake cupcakes with cream cheese frosting for tomorrow and today. I sent a dozen to my husband's work. We have a dozen here but are only keeping a half dozen and sending the other half to the schools.

Last night, I got a wonderful convo from an etsy associate. The etsy location has been featured on the clickable below. Come check my shop and the other four choosen for this week!

$45.22 revenue earned 2011

Wow what a dramatic increase!

My plan for the new year. Open up one more shop front at a different location, increase sales to 40 sales via internet shop fronts combined between three different shop fronts.

Why three different location. I have spent over $100.00 in listing fees on Etsy plus they take a percentage of my sale and only made $45.00. The other two sites don't charge to list but do take a percentage of my sale. They do limit the amount of my lisitings between 25-50 listings depending on the site. More money in my pocket over all in the end. Plus, the more fronts, I have the more visibility I have in the market and the more potiental to make money for my family.

Not to mention my time and supplies are not covered overall with only $45.00 profit.

So, for my next birthday wish list is...

business cards (nice ones)
a banner that unites all three shop fronts
fliers done and approved for the local school district

Wedding Belle Blue Jean

A few months ago, I put a few feelers out in the handmade world to see if anyone would be interested in me reviewing their products, and sponsoring a giveaway for them on my blog.

This is the only company that responded, weddingbelleblues .

They make awesome customer jeans or jean skirts! They were so awesome in dealing with my delay of their review of their product from my house being sick for a month too!

Here are some product photos from their shop.

Day 03 Moving Count Down

Okay much much closer to my goal of being completely packed by the time dh gets back here.


1) Here is my dog as promised. I know you here me talk about her. Now you get to see a picture of her now that she is a year old. You will have to go back to earlier in the year to see older pup pictures.

2) Finish Kitchen, dining area, and living room

3) clean out van

4) Eat out

5) Promote for Thursday promotion and prepare for the BOFRIDAY Monthly sales fun Tomorrow

6) Ways my small business friends can help me move

a) I need 3 x 6 we moved cards for my kids to send to their friends after we move. If you can make about 15-20 that would be great..doesn't have to be on thick paper either standard printer paper is fine.

b) bracelet makers my kiddos broke a bracelet his grandmother made me out of white and blue crystal beads the other day. I didn't have the heart to tell them their great grandmother made it for me. So, if you could make two light blue and white that would be great standard size for an adult. I could put it in their stocking stuffers.

c) If you have a pattern for a purse/diaper tote that you wouldn't mind me having I'd appreciate it. I need a new purse but  can't find anything but a small diaper bag to fit my needs. I need to outside pockets for water bottles/snacks, six interior pockets (keys, phone, pens/pencils, notebook/nook, first aid kit, and a spot of chap stick). Must zipper close. If you don't feel comfortable letting have the pattern but have one made. I will test if for you gladly.

d) Design a flier promoting both my etsy and zibbet location, for me to print off and have approved by the new school district for disbutions (sP).

e) I need a few xs to s sized dog sweaters made for my dog. All of sudden most places don't make them. I normally make fleece or flannel dog blanket jackets but I can't do to the move. If you have one, I will test it on my diva dog.

Any of my small business friends that help in this way, I will review your items on my blog for you and put a button up on my side bar for a year of promotion for free.  Email me if you are interested beautifulswagstore@gmail.com
