Fiscal year
It is fast approaching the end of the fiscal year for my day job. So I am trying to get a bunch of things accomplished! argh........
I am still updating our facebook page so hopefully I won't get as tired as I did last night so I can get it up & running!
Also along with facebook, I need to shoot more pictures for Etsy....but like I stated, tons of jewelery and not on Etsy yet:) At least Tom's camera is pretty good for taking jewelery pictures. I just wish I had photoshop. I am definately going to save pennies for a new computer. My inheirated laptop is okay but I get so frustated with the dumb thing cause it is SO slow & does very odd stuff when you are in the middle of doing things...

Monday
It is Monday & I am facing it with joy. I got down in the dumps last couple of weeks and decieded that no-one was making me grumpy or down, I was doing it to myself....so new change of attitude was definately needed.
I did get a bunch more jewelery photo and added to our shoppes. Now, I am giving serious thought to opening yet another shop in Artfire. I am hoping that our product will move better than then it has on Etsy lately.
ANOTHER awesome thing, I got a beautiful antique looking emerald engagement ring from Tom!! The pictures are on the computer at home so I will put them on here later. I LOVE IT!!
I have picked up a great book about getting your jewelery business started etc. I am devouring it and intend to put much of what she wrote into practice. I have beautiful and unique pieces that I am not selling, so I am trying to figure out the issues. I am working on photography and do realize that is a major one.....Must learn from Margot Potter to be a selfless self promoter! :)

Updated Etsy stores
Okay better
Another cool pendant in the back of a pocket watch.
My steam punk pendant, this one turned out wonderfully!
This one did have a flat backed swarovski crystal on it, after resin, it looks like a mirror...that bubble looking thing is just a reflection, it is not on the pendant. The first picture doesn't have it on there.Now, these are my items from playing with ICE resin....what do y'all think?
Alright, got home & listed some items in both Etsy shoppes Funky Monkey Girls and Vivamexico so I feel better that way:)
All pictures and jewlery items were done/taken by Jolene Hardy Funky Monkey Girls and copywrited as such.
Life stuff
I haven't been on the computer much, nor making jewelery much nor feel like talking to people. Doing a great deal of thinking and will be praying on it later, life changes. Not getting married but my day job. I work at a corrupt place from the top on down. I find it increasly difficult to work here. So, I am weighing all options & will be doing some praying on it later. I have enough years in to retire but I am too young....I think it is time to go do something else that doesn't bother me ethically. Yes, I protect my staff when I can but it appears that is being taken away from me as well. Not from my boss or any type of punishment just the way the system is.....
Please pray that I receive direction from God to know where he wants my path to go.
