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

Reminder, the shop is offically closed for the holiday season starting today Thursday December 22nd, 2011 through Tuesday December 27th, 2011.

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!

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

Birthday Countdown Day 3

Yesterday was spent paying bills, treating myself to a McDonald's peppermint mocha, laundry for our trip, delivering 1 teacher gift and staff baked goodies, cleaning up from yesterdays dinner, making baked goods for today, and dealing with more bills.

Today's birthday wishes are:

three silly winter hats for me and my girls to wear and have photos taken in

one coordinating dry fit material running outfit either by nike or fit fatale (pants and top)

new running shoes with dry fit socks

decorations for the next holiday season

candles to make my house smell good

Birthday Countdown 4 days

So, my birthday is this Thursday. It really doesn't seem like the normal holiday and birthday time for me. I mean heck I just moved cross country with my family. A lot of our stuff we use has to remain in boxes because we are planning to be out of the rental in 6 six months or less.

Let's see what's on my birthday wish list for today:

Arbonne protein powder and fizzy tabs

A new purse with lots of pockets but meduim and stylish in size

A pair of everyday winter boots, not snow boots, I already have some of those

Boot socks found at Old Navy- on sale right now $5.00 ladies size 7-10

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!

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

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
