ArtFire!

I just opened an ArtFire shop! I've been hearing a lot of buzz about it on the Etsy forums and Twitter and figured, what the heck, it's free, let's give it a shot. So far I've got two items up, might be adding more soon...check out my new shop!: http://www.EmoSeal.artfire.com/

My first two ArtFire items!

Haven't had any problems with the site yet, and I'm pretty excited to see what happens...

In other news, I tried out some Facebook advertising this week due to some advice from the Etsy forums...got some decent views out of it, but no sales. Might try it again sometime when I feel like spending the money - you can set how much you'd like to spend in a day to get your ad posted, which is really neat (I made my budget $6 a day and it charged me about 25 cents per click), but I just don't have a lot of cash to burn right now, so I limited myself to a two day trial.

Also - I FINALLY GOT MY SEPTUM PIERCED! A week ago tomorrow =) I've been waiting for over two years to do this and I'm really really reallyyyyy happy with it...it's like it was always meant to be here! Haha. Hurts a bit, but it's already much better. My daily routine for it is to wash it with some special soap in the morning and do a sea salt soak at night. So far I've been pretty consistent about it, too, yay. It really feels it's best right after cleaning it, so I imagine I'll be keeping it up just fine.

Awwww, me and my fiance at the beach last weekend =)

NEW STUFF!

Yay, new jewelry! I've got a couple more things to list tomorrow and I'll hopefully be working on some more during my break as well =) Click on each picture to go to the listing on Etsy and check them out!

And I'm thinkingggggg...there might be some sort of sale coming up in a couple of days...so keep your eyes open =)

A couple of birthday pictures...

I thought you guys might like to see my awesome birthday hair...=)

Haha...there's this awesome restaurant around here called the Corvette Diner (click those links to learn more about it) where they will put your hair up in straws if you'd like. I've alwaysss wanted them to do it (because I am a huge nerd), but my hair has been too short every time I've gone...clearly my wish finally came true yesterday thanks to our fantastic waitress, Scarlet! I was way more excited than I should have been...especially for a twenty year old...haha. After we took the straws out, though, something else amazing happened:

My other secret wish as of late for curly/wavy hair came true too! Sloppy, yes, but still really cool! It has calmed down a bit since sleeping on it, though, as you can see here:

To always have hair this awesome...sigh. I'm just going to make my fiance put straws in my hair at night from now on =)

And thus concludes my adventure in being vain and random and showing off my hair...=)

<3!

It's my birthdayyyyyy!

Sigh, I am terrible at updating this lately =/ Haven't been making/posting a lot of things so I guess there isn't much creative-talk to be had...I've got a small pile of things I've made over the past two or three months beginning to form, though - I really need to take the time to take pictures and start adding new things to the shop instead of just renewing. Maybe this weekend if my homework doesn't take up all of my time...

In more exciting news: today is my birthday! I'm twenty! Kind of scary! I'm stuck at school for now, but tonight my parents are taking me out to dinner and this weekend, my fiance and I might try to do something...probably nothing big though. If no real plans form, I'd like to just hang out on the beach for a little bit - it's been forever and ever and EVER since I've done that.

Oh, and I just entered BeatBlack's contest for a $50 gift certificate! She's got a really cool shop that I've been watching for a while, so this would be a pretty cool thing to win...there's only one day left after today to enter though, so get on it =) Click on the banner below to find out the details!

Alright, well, hopefully I'll have some new things to talk about here after this weekend...<3!

Not much else to report...just renewing things here and there and trying to make some new jewelry...inspiration comes and goes, but I made a really really neat pair of earrings between last night and this afternoon that I will hopefully be able to list soon. I also really want to start making some cell phone charms! I have a bunch of little cell phone straps that I ordered a while ago and so far I've only made one...haha, sigh, going to have to get on that.

And of course, my fiancé is on his way here as we speak! AHH! He started the drive from Wisconsin to California on Sunday - he's in Utah now. SO EXCITED! Haha, I cleaned my room and everything (though my desk is still looking a little chaotic...but when doesn't it) and I can't wait until he's here. If all continues to go well, he'll be here sometime on Wednesday afternoon =)

Alright, that's all I've got for tonight...just a reminder that all horns have a free upgrade to Priority shipping to make sure they get to you in time for Halloween! Oh, and if you Twitter, you can follow me now - http://twitter.com/EmoSeal - I'll definitely follow you back.
