Moved my Craft Table

I bought a 4 foot table to use in order to work on my beaded jewelry. I pretty much knew I didn't have any room in my craft room..........My computer, a bookcase, another computer desk that is twice as long as the one I am using, a smill dinnette table, a desk and a file cabinet are all in this very small room. That is not including all that actual craft supplies and finished products. The small bedroom is probably about the size of what a walk-in closet should be.

The dinette table came out of my dining room area. The dining room area was just a small section of the Great Room. Both sides of the dinette table fold down so yes, it is taking up room in my craft room, but it really isn't all that large. The dinette table was not large enough to hold all my beads and allow me room to work.

So...............

Sunday I moved all my beads and jewelry making supplies from my craft room to the new table that I put in the Dining room area. I am hoping that this will give me more incentive to work. Not to mention, that area just happens to be the Creative Sector of my home according to Feng Shui! I really need all the help that I can get.

Buca Di Beppo

Yesterday late afternoon I went to Buca's with my friends Ashley and Sarah. It was our dinner to end the year with Big Brother Big Sisters.

I was in the school program that started when I was working at Nationwide insurance. The program started last October and the last session was last Wednesday. It was sad for me because since I no longer work at Nationwide, I don't know that I could continue with the program. (I can continue with the program via Big Brother's Big Sisters as long as whoever my new employer is going to be, will allow for me to do it.)

I do want to keep in touch with my little and I had recieved information from the program leader in order to do that. Now I am going to my little's 8th grade graduation on June 4th and we are going to discuss it more. I hope everything works out!

Finally on ETSY!

Finally! I posted some jewelry on ETSY. It has taken long enough. I took pictures of eight different pieces (sets) of jewelry and it took me about 2 hours to post them on the website. I had taken the pictures weeks ago but they didn't look good to me. I had been playing around with some different "photo shops" but nothing seemed to work when I tried to save it on the site. Finally I logged into Picassa, and Wahlah! I was able to enhance the pictures so that they actually looked nice. I am going to post more at a later date, but I thought I needed to get something up there soon!

If you get a chance, go out and look. www.crazycraftnladies.etsy.com. Also, just browse around Etsy, www.etsy.com. It is a website for all handmade items. It is very nice!

Good night!

What am I up to?

I've been playing on my computer since last night. Yes, I did sleep, not very successfully, but I did get a wink or two in. I'm trying to plan out my future as to what I am going to do with the rest of my life. Or at least the next 10 years or so.

I recently was laid off from my job working at Nationwide Insurance.....just a side note here....No job is safe...always be looking and try to be ready. This is my third layoff and I still wasn't prepared. This time though, instead of being completely devastated that I lost my job, I am fairly Happy! I liked my job for most of the people I worked with. I even liked the work I did, but there were always obstacles that other "busy bodied" people got involved with and it was almost a relief that I was laid off.

I think God wants me to do something more creative with my life and hopefully less stressful. My goals are to successfully have a work from home business. I have also always wanted to work for the Ohio State University (my alma mater). OSU is still in the works but right now, since that hasn't happened, I'm focusing on my creative skills and work from home abilities.

I am setting up a shop on ETSY. My site is created but I have not listed any products. I will keep everyone informed on when I do. Please go to the site and look around. www.etsy.com. You can do searches by areas, such as Columbus, OH. You can do searches by type, color, if you are looking for products that are specifically made for children, etc....You will be surprised and very happy to find that there are a lot of artisans from Columbus, OH listed on there with very beautiful products!

Stay tuned!

Hello!

I thought I would write a quick word here..........I had a very large post typed and ready and somehow lost it. I really don't remember what I wrote (it was a little while ago, but I just realized last night that it didn't post) so I won't try to remember.

I have my computer up and running. I am very happy with my service and with the speed of my new computer. I am thinking you are going to see me on here a lot. Please feel free to post anytime.
