In Need of Sparkly Things

Well, I managed to get the Etsy store open!  And I have a whopping FIVE items in stock!  But that's better than zero.  And I plan to add more as the week progresses.  Basically opening the store was pretty easy, there are just so many parts to think about.  To make things easier on myself right now, and to hopefully entice some holiday shopping, I decided to offer free shipping for this month.  The whole postage thing just really has my head spinning. 

Now I know that it shouldn't be that complicated, but I am postally challenged.  I really am!  If I buy a present for someone out of state, I would rather just get in the car and drive it to them than have to deal with the post office.  This is how it usually goes -   I buy the present, take it home and wrap it.  I set it somewhere and think about going to the post office.   A couple days later I find a box to put it in.  I wait a couple more days - or weeks.  Then I put it in the box, tape it up, and label it.  Wait a few more days.  Call to see if they are planning on coming to town this year.  Send an email saying I'm sorry I missed their birthday.  Either I finally get around to mailing it, or I do indeed just wait until I go see them in person.

I have more balls to felt, and I seem to remember not putting that very sharp, barbed needle away properly..... oops!
