Etsy needed an update

I've been doing a lot of work trying to get my etsy going smoothly, and i found an awesome forum (here) on one of my favourite sites, Craftster.org , that has TONS of advice for setting up for a successful etsy. One peice of advice that i decided to work on today is the photos. make them consistent, clean background, good focus, and most importantly, the lighting. I reshot all of my Items for sale today, and I'm uploading them all as a type. I think i did well, but i think i'll leave the public eye to decide on that.

Here's a sneak peek at what i did with my morning.

Oh My...

I've decided to jump on in, now.

so, me? 18, unemployed, i guess you could call me a starving artist, but I actually get fed pretty well by my fiance's family. my fiance, by the way, goes by the name of mario. We've been two peas in a pod since junior high, just recently have we committed ourselves to eachother. no marriage soon, though. we'd like to wait until we are a bit more financially stable.

so... What am i doing here? Chillin' at the Public library (You can find me here almost every weekday from 10 Am until about 2 o'clock in the afternoon. i enjoy my time here a lot. I'm not in school right now, but there's no doubt in fact that i'm learning. I DO spend most my time at the library after all, and i do love reading. Here, I'm doing a lot of research on crafting, beginning a business, spiritual health, and crazy other things of the such. Just trying to better myself.

I've got my own Etsy, where i show case my handcrafted jewelry, and sometimes other things. I'm really working hard on getting this going. it's slow, but i think i'm getting there. if you feel like being a sweetheart, you could check it out and tell me what you think. never be afraid to critique if need be. Actually, i would greatly appreciate it.

anyways, i guess that's it for today. we'll see what tomorrow might bring.
