New Years, Resolutions, and Beads

I think I do this every year, but I resolve to be better at listing beads regularly, and posting on this blog. I have finally recovered from the craziness of the holidays (and our whirlwind trip to BC to visit my family) and am starting to get into some kind of routine with listing beads. To that end, I just put some beads up on Justbeads!




So, what are these resolutions? Well, I'm going to try to put beads on Justbeads every Thursday. (Why Thursday? I don't know! It's just what I arbitrarily picked when I first started listing beads, and it has become Bead Day at Casa de Erica.) And (more problematic) I'll be trying to put beads up at Etsy most days, like four days of the week. I am still pondering a return to eBay, but I'm not there yet. And unfortunately my website lies fallow-must work on that as well.

Breaking Up

It's official-I'm breaking up with eBay. The fees have become too onerous, the rewards too few. I will be concentrating on Etsy, and will continue to list beads on Justbeads. I am also going to add a made to order segment on my own website, ericabeads.com, so keep an eye out for that.

Incidentally, I changed my username on Justbeads when they reopened a few months ago. If you had been looking for me as ericajpo, it's now just Erica. I had way too many people calling me Erica Jo. No, that is not my name. ericajpo just happens to be a convenient combination of my initials that is almost always available as a username.

New Beads Tonight

I realized that I hadn't updates my Justbeads link-when they crashed back in December, they apparently lost all their information. When they came back up a few weeks ago, I took my chance and changed my username to Erica, but I forgot to change my link here. So I have beads going up tonight on eBay AND Justbeads tonight. Yay!

New Beads Tonight

I should have new beads up tonight, around 10pm EST. I've been having some fun with Zooziis texture tools (the spiral is my favourite.)

I should have some new beads on eBay tonight. I was drawn to pale, transparent colours this week, with, of course, scrolls.

Vacation

I am taking a vacation! My husband and I are taking a two week trip out west, to Vancouver. I decided to really give myself a break and close up my Etsy and eBay shops for the duration. I'll have things listed again on eBay on Thursday the 23th, and Etsy should be re-activated shortly thereafter, probably the 24th or 25th.

New Beads on eBay tonight.

These should be up tonight on eBay around 10pm EST. I love these. I'm getting so tired of the snow and cold-I tried to make some fun, summery beads to cheer me up a litte.
