P. S. Got some nail mail today. 😃
P. S. Got some nail mail today. 😃 My first Butter London, called Dosh. It's green. They are normally $15, but I am not gonna pay that (unless it blows my mind, which it doesn't quite - I just like it). I think my new way to buy polish is to shop like hell on Ebay until I find something that's normally expensive for really cheap. I feel like I'm winning the world when I do that. Cheating the system. LOL I got it for $5. And also an Urban Decay (my first one of those, too!) for $5. But it's not here yet. It's got a cool skully top. 😃 Can't wait to have it IN MY HANDS. 😳
It's been a day - that's for sure. 😳

My dryer has been drying progressively less and less, but I felt sure I'd have dry panties by the time the 5th cycle was done this morning. No such luck. I had to get up and dry my clothes yet again.
I think I'm gonna pull it out this weekend and dig around in the back. I bet there's a ton of lint / hair clogging it up. It still tumbles and heats. I'm sort of worried about it being a fire hazard, so I haven't done much laundry in the last week or so. I only did whites recently because I was down to my preggers panties - which were so huge I had to tuck them into my pants when I wore them to work yesterday. They were so big that they were hanging out the top of my pants and flopping all over the place. It was weird. They didn't fit even slightly. THANK GOODNESS. LOL
Apparently, 103.7 the Q played me losing some tickets today. My friend Shauna heard it. I called them in March trying to win Gabriel Iglesias tickets for Shadow and the DJ bantered with me about my name. He didn't play it on air that day, but for some random reason did today. Well, that's bizarre, but ok.
Work was fine. Now I'm home and kind of tired, but I have painting to do. I will totally wake up when I start doing that. Yesterday was the worky part. Today is the color part. 😃 Shadow's tired, but he's in bed, so I'm gonna Netflix and paint jewelry.
I told Shaun about them having crafts people at PetFest this year and that I didn't think I was gonna do it, but he seems to think I should. He even offered to pay for my booth. He said I would probably do well there - especially if I did animal jewelry. What do y'all think? It's the weekend before OxfordFest, so I kind of feel like that might be a bit much. But maybe not.
Well, I'm off to do things. I miss seeing what all of you wonderful people are up to, but lately I just don't have time for social media like I used to. I hope that everyone is doing well. ❤
Getting ready to head to work.
Getting ready to head to work.
That's great, but I am SO tired. 😳
I stayed up wayyy too late working on jewelry. The order that came in last night was for a made to order piece (basically, I am re-listing things that have sold, but pushing the ship date out a few days so I have time to make it... providing I have the parts here). That way if something sells repeatedly - great, and if it only sells once that's no big deal, either. Once I make a thing, I don't usually want to repeat it unless someone actually wants it. I have too many ideas floating around my brain to do that right now.
Anyway, I'm just about caught up on bills, so after that I will start using the money I make on buying more parts. I really want to have bracelets, necklace charms, and hair stuff by OxfordFest. I'm really hoping that OxfordFest will be crazy good. I think there will be a lot more people in my target audience there than at the farmer's markets, but that's ok. Definitely doing the market again Saturday because extra money helps, and I handed out a bunch of little flyers, so I'm getting the word out. 🙂 I will be under a tent this time instead of an umbrella, though, because I can't afford to waste a whole day being sick again. LOL
Well, I gotta run. If you don't see me being very active around here it's because I'm busy making stuff. Hopefully I can move what I started last night to the next step. It literally takes days to make one thing, because you have to wait for stuff to dry and all that. 😳

I don't know if it is the Etsy ads or you wonderful people...
I don't know if it is the Etsy ads or you wonderful people sharing my shop that has caused this, but I have had 2 sales on Etsy in the last few hours. For a grand total of 3, but that's ok. 😃
I really thought the ads thing was probably crap, but maybe not. How exciting!
Ohmigah. I worked on my Etsy almost all day.
Ohmigah. I worked on my Etsy almost all day. Then I cut some grass, and then worked on Etsy some more. I had other things I needed to be doing, like housework, or working on jewelry, but I feel better now that this is out of the way.
Almost everything that's up has the polish colors listed. We shall see if that helps anything. I also signed up to spend $7 this week to promote search ads or something. If it doesn't go over well I can stop it. But if it does, then great.
I've had SO MANY jewelry ideas today. I need to write them all down so I don't forget. 😳
People, if you know anyone who might be interested, feel free to direct them to my Etsy: www.etsy.com/shop/PolishAllTheThings
Or just to my Facebook page: www.facebook.com/Polish All the Things It has a shop app right on there where you can buy through Etsy but see if there's anything you like first without leaving Facebook. Woo.
Now, time to go away from this computer for a while. ❤
Anyone recognize this baby?
Anyone recognize this baby? I am SO VERY HAPPY! ❤❤❤
