Back to Normal Soon...I hope!

A crazy summer? Um, yeah!

Things have been incredibly hectic this summer...with summer classes, working full time (for our family business, which means full time and then some!), trying to fill special orders for earrings & dolls...yikes!

And then, of course, I'm smack dab in the middle of (what seems like) the longest move in history. The upside to all this? All the jewelry in the shop is on sale once again! Out with the old, right???

BUT, it looks like things may be FINALLY getting back to a somewhat normal state...and soon! And I'm thrilled, cause there are at least a million and five things I want to get done this fall.

I'm looking to completely re-design my little jewelry shop on Etsy...new ideas, new looks, new beads and findings for me to play with (yay!). I'm also trying to re-fill my raggedy doll shop on etsy...I'll have a link when it's filled up again ;)

And then I picked up my crochet hooks again...crafting ADD anyone?

Sooooooooo, I'll be updating again soon. I promise!

OMG...I didn't kill it!

In the midst of...well, the craziness that is my life...I tried something that I'm normally horrified of.

I planted flowers.

*gasp*

Yeah, I'm pretty much known as 'black thumb' around here. I kill everything, marigolds included. (and who the hell would think you could kill marigolds? they're like the indestructible tank flower!)

So when I decided to try my hand at little flower pots, everyone held their breath. "Why would you subject innocent little seedlings to that?" my mother asked. And I admit, I was a bit discouraged...

BUT, a friend of mine bought me a little pack of Bachelor's Button seeds...and told me that my little poodle could successfully plant these things. So, I tried...


And look at that...I haven't killed them yet!

I was so very impressed with myself that I got daring and tried Morning Glories.

Impressive, yeah? Yeah, I thought so, too ;P

My Moon Flowers are just starting to come up now...whoddathunkit?!?! Ok, I'm a bit overexcited about my little bit of greenery. I'll be sure to keep you guys posted on their status. (cross your fingers, say a little prayer...hell, light a candle! for my little growing flowers...gotta keep 'em alive!)

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Have I mentioned how lazy I am? Or maybe it's just super busy...hmmm. Well anyway, my Spring Sale has been extended (cause I haven't had time to change the prices back to normal, haha)!

So, if you were thinking about doing a bit of shopping and were putting it off, now's the time to purchase those nifty earrings you've been eye-ing!

Jezabel's Jewels

neat-o

pretty nifty, if I do say so myself...

which, ya know, I do ;)

What the heck is Jezabel's Jewels giving away?
I'm giving away one pair of these 'Pretty in Pink' brass earrings! What I love about 'em is that they're super simple...just little brass kidney wires and doubled up little brass rings...but with a pretty pink faceted lucite bead, there's a splash of color! Super light weight, they measure down to approx. 1.25" (3.2 cm)

Love 'em? Gotta have 'em? Well, one lucky person can! Read on to find out how ♥

All my Blog-readin' Friends ♥

I was somewhat sorta productive these past few days, which is shocking considering how much is going on outside the little internet box (what? there's life off the internet? Yeah, I had that reaction at first, too!) But like a good little crafter, I made up some jewelry, took some pics (though not my best) and listed it in the shop. Do I get points or something for that? hehe ;)

No, but really...do I?

So ANYWAY...like I was ranting about the other day, Valentine's day is coming! Exciting, even for my single self...ok, mainly cause my birthday is the day before the big lovey-dovey day (which means atomic cake for me, yay!) But all that aside...cause I really intended to go somewhere with this...in honor of one of my favorite Hallmark holidays, I'm offering a little special, just for my blog-gy readers...yes, you!

Click on over to my Etsy shop...Jezabel's Jewels...shop til ya drop (for yourself, your mother, your girlfriend...hell, your CAT) and when you're all finished check out, but DON'T PAY. Why? Cause I'll send you a revised invoice with NO SHIPPING! yaaaaaaay for free shipping, right? Ok, one more thing though...in the 'Notes to Seller' box during checkout, enter 'FREE SHIPPING BLOGGY LOVE' so I know that ya came from here.

Did that make any sense at all? Ok, here's the Cliff's Notes version. Shop, Checkout, Write 'FREE SHIPPING BLOGGY LOVE' in the messages/notes to seller box, wait for me to invoice you, then pay :) Easy as pie! (mmmmm....pie....) This oh-so-nifty offer only applies to jewelry and ends on February 14th ♥

So......whatcha waiting for?

My, oh My!

Well, I've been a busy little beaver today! Had somewhat of a day off (long story), so I got to fiddle around the web some...and I discovered a new site! Ok, well maybe I didn't necessarily 'discover' it today as much as explored it. I heard about it awhile ago...DaWanda!

It's more of an international site...but that suits me just fine. Just think of my jewelry going all over the globe....WORLD DOMINATION! mwah ha ha ha ha! ;)

And ya know I just HAD to set up shop there too! Check out Jezabels Jewels over at DaWanda!

Exciting, huh? Yeah, I thought so too! So why did I have all this extra time to play today? Well, I signed up for a class that was supposed to start today. Imagine my surprise to get a call 90 minutes before class is set to begin...it was canceled due to 'lack of enrollment'. CANCELED! ugh. So after spending another 90 minutes on hold with the registration office (at least it seemed like 90 minutes), I finally get my money refunded. Once more...ugh. So of course I had to go fiddling around the web...to keep what's left of my sanity! lol :P

Typical Monday...

Oh, yeah...look at me...on SQUIDOO!

Ok, so maybe I've been hiding under an internet rock or something...but I just discovered Squidoo lenses about a week or so ago. And guess what...I made my very own Jezabels Jewels lens!

lkajdflkjsdklfkljvoix78z089uirjejkxlvhxfjkldsfkljd!!!

Sorry, that was the text version of my happy, flailing arms dance :P

Wanna see it? Ok, here we go!

You there yet? Oh, I guess you can't be if you're here...huh? Ok, well go and leave me a comment or two! yay...soooooooooo excited :)
