I’ve talked about my struggles putting new items on Etsy before, on my poor, ancient computer… I sweet talked it today and got a few things on. Here’s one I don’t think I’ve blogged about before.
First, let me say that The Four Agreements really have been a blessing in my life. If you haven’t read The Four Agreements, it’s really worth your time. The one I think has had the most impact for me is to not take things personally. I try not to let anger and frustration with other people linger too long in my head--we’re all in our own little worlds and sometimes the rest of us get the fallout.

Having said that, I couldn’t resist the play on words of The Four Disagreements. I’ve had it out at fairs recently and it’s gotten a few giggles.
And here are some new earrings.
Hopefully, over the weekend, while The Husband watches some sci-fi, which I usually like but not this particular movie, I’ll get some more things on Etsy, so keep checking in! And I’m planning a Summer into Fall sale in August on anything in my shop with autumn colors. More on that later!
And here’s my Day Job news. I do payroll accounting for the Pennysaver. I’ve been with the company 20 years (yes, they hired me when I was 12...) (and if you believe that, I’ve got a bridge I’d like to sell you!) and they’ve been very understanding about my creative journey. Recently, my hours were cut from 32 to 24 a week, which was a little nerve racking in this economy. This week, I’m on vacation (yippee!) but when I go back, it will be full time, for a while at least. I’ll still be creating jewelry and artwork but I’ll have to manage my time a whole lot better. So bear with me!

The four disagreements!!! Hah!!! Best wishes with your Etsy adventure. I'm trying to get started with my own little store too. But when you have a "day job" the time gets short, doesn't it?
Bless you this week!
