WOOOO!
I made some sales today! It was to a very nice lady named Linda from my Etsy team, but at least I sold stuff!
Hooray!! I'm very excited!

If only I could get some more promotion and exposure....

Ugh. I had one view in my shop yesterday.
One single view.

Is this a sign that I should close up shop? No one buys anything. All of my stuff is just collecting dust.

7.12.2010


That's right!
Super Sale! July 12th - July 26th!
29 awesome items in my clearance section! Go take a look be before they are gone!

We are so very happy!
Ryan might be getting his old job back! He went in and talked to the manager and he said that he would be on 30 day probation and blah blah blah but HE MIGHT GET HIS JOB BACK!! <333333
Yay!

Some not so good news is that the art shows we have been going to were complete busts.no one would come and if people did come they would ignore us completely.
We are not going anymore, but I made an etsy shop for Ryan!
go check it out! http://onthefloorstudio.etsy.com

Hey guys!
I am very excited to say that I have had 2 sales in the past 2 days!
Woo hoo!! Very happy.

I was starting to become discouraged because I hadn't had a sale in a long time. That is one reason why I wanted everything out of the shop a while back. I felt like no one wanted my stuff, so I just wanted to get rid of it all. But, now I am happy, for the moment, and the shop is doing a-okay!
I do have a lot more stuff that hasn't been listed though....

Just a quick personal post here.
So I graduated. Now I am currently taking 2 college classes. So much for a fun summer.
My classes are nice though.

Ryan is having a lot of trouble right now.
He finally got a job and I managed to get him enrolled at the school I am taking classes at. He is very happy about going to school :)
He hates his job. He was going to move out with our friend Kaitlyn but some bad things came up. Kaitlyn's mom is getting a divorce and is currently staying with her. Her mom will not let Ryan even move his stuff into Kaitlyn's house, let alone have him stay there. She hasn't even met him, but she thinks that he will steal her stuff. I have never met her mom and when we go to her house her mom is never there and she doesn't even have her stuff there. I think this is all ridiculous.
On top of all of this, Ryan has until Monday to move out.
On the brighter side, I finally updated the shop. I added a bunch of stuff and there are still some things that I haven't listed, like pillows and more burners. I HATE listing things. It just takes so much time!
If you have some extra time, you should go look :)

So, today was my (early celebration) anniversary. (The actual date is the 31st/1st).
We had a lot of fun. we went out to eat at a very fancy restaurant. We went there for Valentines Day too. It was fun. I got Ryan two sketchbooks, colored pencils, and charcoal pencils. He really liked them. I also baked him cookies from scratch. They are so good!







Before we went to eat, we went to Hanifins, which is a GREAT antique store. It's my favorite one that we have here. Ryan bought me a 1985 book about birds and a 1957 copy of a history book. I bought a trophy that looks like an oscar for a school project.
After we ate, we went to get dessert (at like 1pm haha) and then we went to an awesome thrift store. I got an owl hot plate, an owl salt or pepper shaker from Virginia City, and then two owl candle holders for less than $6!
We came back to my place and watched 500 Days of Summer. Or rather, he slept and I crocheted.
Speaking of crocheting, I made 7 new scarflettes! Woo! I also made 2 pouches and 6 ipod cases. I am very proud of myself.
I love you, Ryan. Happy Anniversary.

I love my sewing machine.
I really do.
(even though it has made me cry. twice).
Anywho, my dad took me shopping yesterday and we spent $46 on fabric and sewing supplies.
So far, I have made two little zipper pouches. My mom was impressed. She said it is hard to put zippers in. I will list them next month. You will like them. I made a kitty cat one and an owl one. I still have two other kinds of fabric, but I only bought 3 zippers, so you do the math on that.

Also, Ryan and I went house shopping again.
We bought a knife set (with wooden block), teaspoons, metal measuring cups, a wisk (it's green!), 5 cups, corn on the cob holder things, a bamboo cutting board, some cookin utensils, and some mixing bowls.
I love grocery outlet. I want to marry them.

By the way, I am having a sale. You name the price and the best offer wins :)
I haven't had any offers yet, so whoever asks first will probably get whatever they want.
The offers have to be reasonable though.

Oh! My friend Lindsey is having a sale too! I absolutely LOVE her shop! She has so many nice things! (Pretty good prices too!)
She just had her 101st sale (congrats!)
Anyway, her sale is free shipping to everywhere thru December 31st.
She's a 22 year old art student. She is currently attending OCAD (in Canada, not Oregon).
Here's her shop thingy:
Etsy
Buy Handmade
memorycollector

She is a really nice person! She inspired me to start up a shop back in February.

Anyway, that's all for now!

So, a lot has been going on.
I passed all of my finals and I have A's in my US Gov't, Sci-fi, Ceramics, Photography, and TA classes (I got received a B in trig/pre-calc).
As you know I have been accepted to the University of Nevada-Reno!
However, my shot record was not kept properly at the cheap doctors office I used to go to, so they never recorded that I got a Tetnas shot back in 2005, so I have to get another one before I start school again in the Fall.
I decided that I am going to major in History. I have no clue what kind of job I'll be getting with that, but I'm used to being a poor kid so it will work out.
Ryan and I started buying stuff now that we know we are definately moving to Reno in the summer.
So far we have:
a toothbrush holder (I made it in ceramics).
plates and mugs
a measuring cup
a 2010 kitten calendar
silverware (it's really nice)
paper towel holder
15 dish rags
a desk
3 pots
1 skillet
lamps (my mom said she would give me the two she doesn't like).
and a Hello Kitty toaster that my mommy bought for me for Christmas.
We have other things too (like tv's and computers and stuff) but I need some more stuff.
My mom also said that she would give me $500 when she does her taxes. :)

My friend Anthony is moving back from Washington so he can move in with us when Ryan and I move to Reno. I have a great plan too. I will "live" at the dorms and at home with Anthony and Ryan. I will have some stuff at UNR and pay for living there so I can get the dorm perks like free internet and a meal plan and I will have everything else at the apartment. It is a grand plan.

Anyway, I'm really excited. I talked my mom into getting me a cat for my graduation present. She is helping me find a home for the guinea pigs (they are going to a nice gay couple. One of them works at the pet store too!)

Oh, about the shop, I really want a lot of my inventory gone ASAP. It's not that I want to close it down, it's just that with so much going on it would be easier to not have to worry about getting packages out right away like I usually do. So if you want anything from my shop, just email me (xohellogoodbyexo[at]gmail.com) or comment me and we can work something out. I usually go for any type of trade and I do bargins.
I also listed some prints in a new section. Ryan has been getting a lot better at painting. They look incredible. I'm currently talking him into taking a another trip to kinkos to make prints to sell.

Anyway, I have to start cleaning the house. By the end of Christmas vacation I will make sure to post at least one picture of my room.
Hectic life = too busy for everything.

Maybe after I clean I will play video games.
That sounds really nice :)

Ryan got new glasses by the way....

My shop views went from 184 to 99 yesterday.
I'm a little sad, but I guess I will live.

I'm not done with my room. I just have so much stuff in such a small place. I promise I will get it done soon and post pictures because my room is pretty awesome.
It used to be better, but out of nowhere I decided to throw all my posters away and I'm pretty upset that I did.

I did finish getting everyones packages ready, so I might even be able to get them out tomorrow. (Danny, I hope you like your free gifts).

Anyway, I have to go use the scary little girls room (the ceiling is cracking and leaking from upstairs!), so I will see you all laterz.

Happy Birthday-ers!

So I decided that since I like birthdays that everyone should be able to get a birthday present from me!

Here's the deal:
If you can prove to me that it is your birthday (facebook page, scan of license, have your mom call me, etc...) then you can get 15% off just for being born!

ISN'T IT EXCITING!!!??

I'm excited.

~happy birthday everyone!~
