LeArNiNg......lEaRnInG......=LEARNING

Well, I am learning, there is always something new to learn, learning is what we are here for, it is said that once you think you know it all, what else is there to do but die. Well, I am not ready to die yet so I guess I just will keep on'a learning.

Here's what I learned tonight........................>
Yep, I learned how to take a picture of my store then put it in "paint" then fiddled around and cut and pasted and wala here is what I got. These are the directions I used........Click ctrl and print scree button, then open paint, then click ctrl and V (view) then save as (jpeg). To get just the pictures I cut then pasted, back into paint and renamed again in jpeg..........will have to try it again to see if it works then write it down................ramble, ramble, ramble.

My first two cards are new to the store, "I love Paris" although I have never been there and my "Dried Pansies" happy Birthday cards. I have been really happy with my store, and it's been fun, I would like to see more things sold, not sure what the hold up is. Prices are right in line with most other card stores, guess the right person has not come along yet.

I am going to start selling some of my stamps, a few here and and a few there.......maybe they will be a hot item. Two stamps for the price of one, most of my stamps will be 1/2 price, and there is very little use and they are still in good shape.

Will be adding a few more earrings and a few bracelets, possibly as sets...........lol.........that's if I make them and not want to wear them. I really admire so many of the Etsy jewelery artists, they make such beautiful jewelery PLUS they are able to sell 100's of pieces.........that's the trick you know, to keep your stuff before the customer........using eye catching photography, bright colors, yep...........

Well, I think I will close this blog for today, been rambling on like as if someone will really read this..............so you take care and take JESUS!!!!!!

MY NEWEST TREASURY................

Ok.......this will be quick...............I just put up a new treasury last night 12:30am on 7/12/08. I am thinking this may be my last one for awhile as I have done 3 treasuries and do not see any sales from it, although it is fun, it seems to create alot of busy work that I don't really need. I just wish a few more of my cards would sell. Oh Well!! I have forgotten how it feels to see a card sold and the number change and then get feedback. Well, you have a good day and I hope you like this 3rd and final treasury for the month of July.

Blessings and have a good day.

My Second Treasury on Etsy

Early this mornning I made my second treasury.............I was so excited about it AND I got a picture of it too..........I hope, hope, hope...................Here I go to see. Well there it is, maybe a little blurry, but it is there.

Finally a treasury on Etsy

This is an update on the first treasury...........I never got a picture of it so it is lost in Etsy land....(sigh). So there is no way to check it on Etsy. Oh well, that is life.....sometimes it just plain sucks.
Do please check out my first treasury on Etsy............I have to figure out how to get the pictures generated on this blog.............v-e-r-y s-l-o-w at learning, I guess. Well, I found out it will cost more money to get my treasury on this blog............guess I will do it this way.......just press the link and it will take you directly to my treasury at Etsy, then press the arrow to return back here. I convoed all the artists to let them know they were in my treasury........they were happy to know........as you can see I am very happy to have gotten a chance to do a treasury.

I am working at getting another set of cards and earrings in my Etsy store.............this newest set will be in yellow and golds, I am thinking of calling the set "Sunflower Surprize" or something like that........here's a picture of my latest earrings and cards. I called them Blue Lighthouse cards and Blue Lighthouse Earrings. Not a very catchy title......but hey, the are a set. Go to my store at: http://www.cards4ubylouise.etsy.com/ and you can buy them there. The total price for both is: $15.00 + postage. or you can buy them seperately.

Well, I think I will cut this blog short, as I am getting sleepy and it is past my nape time. Usually when 3:00pm rolls around my eyes are getting drowsey.........like about now.

So have a great day...........Louise

Father's Day

Well, today is Father's Day...........I did most of my writting on the other blog, if you would like to check it out, go to: www.cards4ubylouise.blogspot.com I wrote about Pops, JP, going on a diet and my card making for JP and Pops. I have not yet taken a picture of the lighthouse card yet, next issue of this blog. Well, I need to go, it is getting late and I am getting tired. bye for now.

Thank You cards

This is going to be a short blog today...........If you would like more news go to http://cards4ubylouise.blogspot.com/ there I talked about my husband's birthday presents and gave you a rhubarb recipe too.......yummy! (His birthday cake)

This is my new set of "Thank You" cards, 4 cards in all for $11 (that would be 2.75 a piece, still cheaper then the store, well, if you go to Dollar General you can get 2 cards for $1, BUT they are not homemade). Two fishies and two butterflies placed on tags. I had fun making these, could let my creative juices flow.

If you like my cards, go to my little shop at: http://cards4ubylouise.etsy.com/ Paypal will walk you through the transaction. Here's a few more pictures.

Well you have a great day and enjoy the beautiful weather!!!!!

A New Pair of Earrings

These look a little bit blurry....mmmmmmmm think I will try another picture.

--------------------------------------------->

This looks better, you get the idea......I made a pair for myself, seem to wear these all the time, they go with everything I wear. Both the black and pink toppers and bottom beads are glass with a metal bead in the middle. Very simple but elegant. I am selling them on my etsy store for $6.50 and $1.50 postage ($8 total). If you are interested go to my store. http://www.cards4ubylouise.etsy.com/ I will take paypal and you can also use your credit card and paypal will walk you through the payment procedure.

Well you have a good day........it's 1:06am, time to go to bed, as you can see I am a night owl. I probably will go back to Etsy.com and see what is on the forum and chime in alittle bit before I hit the sack. TTYL :)
