She won the August Giveaway!
Since yesterday my brain has been going a thousand miles a minute. Roomer has it that mom got me a sewing machine. {YAY!} If this is the case {which i think it is because i asked Justin and all he said was "dont buy 1"} I*ll be giving away free gifts with every order starting after new year. I*m also concentrating on jewelry again.I sort of slipped out of it for a little while but now I*m back. I just wanted to test the waters else where. We haven't had a lot of extra money since we*ve been trying to catch up on bills & just live. I woke up when Justin's clock went off at 9:00am {although he did not - he doesnt feel good} & I*ve been looking for beads & anything interesting i can find. I*ve found a few but they werent right for what i want. Can you tell I*m excited? We are supposed to be having dinner with Justin parents and some of their friends tonight but i dont know if we are going to go. Justin doesn't feel good, which sucks because i feel like im going to be aggravating today. :O) I had a few sales over the past few days that require the use of my printer, but the boyfriend broke it. I had him buy a new one while he was buying his laptop so it should be here by Wednesday, sorry for the delay guys. :O(
How was your weekend?
Dont forget this ends tonight at 11:00pm!!

I woke up early this morning around 10am & quickly realized i had nothing to do & i was bored. Justin was on the couch watching The Texas Chainsaw Massacre Beginnings & i don't want to see anything of that nature so early on a beautiful morning. So i decided to stop being a pain in the butt & add the payment button for RME. If you wanted to pay with RME before it was appreciated but you had to send me an e0mail i had to send you an invoice then you pay. I totally but myself out & added the button. So now all you do is click the "buy now" button & your on your way. All of the amounts are correct so all you have to do is add your e-mail address & tada! Take a gander ;P www.uniquecharm.net

Today is such a pretty day, although it is hot, humid, & cloudy. I just woke up in a good mood this morning. I was watching a little bit of tv after i woke up & decided to paint my fingernails. The color is called "put your feet up" It's a teal color. I wanted to do a little something different.
I went out to get gas & stop by Joann's & Michaels. I*m gathering stuff for projects. I came home & was in such a good mood (Maybe its the relaxing spa candle i bought? hehe) i decided to make some Rainbow Sprinkle Cupcakes! yummy. The trio is so cute! They are "butter" cake with vanilla frosting topped with rainbow sprinkles & a cherry. The set is going for $7.00 (+2.00 shipping). You can get them at UniqueCharm.etsy or UniqueCharm.net.

The last few days have been so busy there is barely enough time in the day to get things done. I got up this morning feeling so good & so refreshed, however i didnt want to go to work. :) (tough) I got to work around 9am, got home at like 4pm, not bad. I must say i love my car! It*s so small & cute i just love it. I took more pictures while i was waiting for my mom to get her crap together this morning. ( i altered the last photo a little :] )After i got off work Justin & i went with his parents to the lake, the sun wasnt bad i can feel i got a little on my shoulders & face but nothing to bad to where it hurts to move. Justin & his brother were wake boarding, his brother hasnt got the hang of it yet but Justin makes it look effortless. While his brother was trying on his go's Justin asked if i wanted to try ski'ing. I told him i wanted to try my hand at the wakeboard & he said he thought I*d be better off with the ski's & not worry about the board. lol thats what motivates me the most is someone telling me what i can*t do...so yeah...my first try i got up, stayed up & crused around. :P They were so proud. We had a lot of fun.
I bought the coolest tags from scraptasticsupplies a few days ago. I was sent WAY more than i paid for! They*re so awesome though, I*m using them as promo tools. I also added their shop name on the front of the tags letting the person know who made them. As for me I*ll be adding new items starting the middle to end of next week. I*m paying mom back this week for everything she helped me with. We*ve got some bills due next week but I*ll see what i can do. I miss all my items! I went from almost 50 to low twenties.I*m tired so I*m going to hang out with the chinchilla but hey dont forget the offers i have going on!

I took the car back yesterday & got all my money back. We left & mom said she liked the way i handled it. :o] Grrr, lol now ive gotta find another car i want. I*m off the Tc's. They*re pretty & shiny but they*re a hefty payment. lol like mom said i need to make sure i can make my payments. I tend to be a lot lazy at times, if i dont wanna go. i dont go. My motto is "I don*t wanna go & they can*t make me!". lol I*ll be working with my mom though so i*ve gotta go. Bleh..
For the past few days ive been doing templates for the screen printing im going to be trying. I get to start tonight! I*m so excited. I did a shirt for my brother & i wish i took a picture because it came out beautifully. Now his friends are calling me with idea's they'd like to have done. I*m thinking i*m going to do matching totes with the female tee's, I*m also throwing around the idea of clutches too like one big set. I was calculating money wise though & they*d be like $40 all together. They*d kick ass though! I*ll keep you posted!
If you*ve posted by the shop lately you know theres not a lot there! That's for 2 reasons. Reason A. I*m broke ;) Reason B. I*m trying to revamp UC.etsy.com & UC.net. I*m not doing cards anymore. I*m going to concentrate on jewelry & if this printing thing works out a little of that. I had a chat with my financial adviser [Justin] last night & he said "Your Unique, put something out there no one else has thought of." then he went onto say that im the unique-est person he has ever met. Everyone we know agree's with him too. He said i was the person everyone just wanted to know. My personality pops & I*m not afraid to be myself around anyone & if they dont like it i may or may not have a few choice words for them, depending on the day & caffeine intake. He loves that i am my own person & I*m one of a kind. ;o] he wishes he could be the way i am. I told him i wasnt always like this, someone took me by the hand & let me know it was ok & lead me down the path i needed to take to find myself. I can not thank him enough. We don*t speak anymore but i wont ever forget everything he taught me.
Enough emotional relapse :o] look what i made! I*m also having a Saturday Sale & my greeting cards are on sale until tomorrow then they will vanish forever ;)
What to say about today? I*m just so bored! I have nothing to do all day & it*s getting really old. My car is in a shop i took it to to see if the dealer screwed me. I dropped it off 2 days ago so we should hear something by tomorrow. If there is something wrong with it, its going back to the dealership from once where it came. $350 a month + the insurance. I don*t have any money to get it fixed lol My moms like "it doesnt work like that you just cant take it back" uhhh... i can when i have lies in paperwork & i will. I*ve learned from 3 years in customer service you can get anything done with a little noise. Besides, my brother works at Leith BMW (Leith owns 95% of the car dealership business around here) & since he*s my brother & hes had his butt in hot water a time or two we all know Mrs. Leith. I*ll have her take a look at the papers to see if there's anything i can do. I*m looking for other cars incase this will happen. Now i see why my parents get mad because i never have any money. I spent it on "wants" not "needs". I don*t have a lot of needs though, Justin takes care of all that. I have a roof over my head & food in my tummy.
I did a little blog hopping to do a little advertising. I*m trying to brainstorm ways to get my website out there. I*ve made a few sales but i dont know if its worth all the hastle to keep it up & running. What do you guys do? I want some advice! I*ve yet to tap local resources, so I*m going to try a lot of that before i give up. Anything to get me out of this house! I*ve been here for the last 3 months. In this time period i have become prone to panic attacks. hehehe Maybe I*ve become un-socialized? :o] I just know I*m bored & going crazy! I was all excited about getting the car because mom's going to let me work with her, now that*s going to be at least another week. If i have to take the car back I*ve still gotta go through that & get another car. BLEH! I*m trying to make the best of the situation. lol See, I*m trying to figure it out.
Since justin is paying all the bills we really really really dont have any extra money for me to get supplies thats why you dont see anything new but stickers in UC.etsy & UC.net. I*m working on it. I*m trying my hand at screen printing. So far ITS AWESOME! I may have to start doing it at my room at mom's house though. I don*t want the fumes to hurt the lil roo.
I was going through some pictures. I*ve posted a few pictures of Roo but not so much of Punkin. He*s staying with my mom & dad because its a lot to have him in the apartment. Isn*t he a cutie? He is so spoiled! (He only Drinks hot pepsi)
He doesnt look spoiled does he? lol hes my punkie!!!
I*ve been making a lot of things today! Mostly digitally mastered like my stickers. I8ve recently gotten into graffiti a little more. Justin & i do our own thing with it. He likes to do the names & stuff like that i like to do other things besides names. So i made the perfect sticker for graffiti artists! You can see it below, its so awesome! I also made some hello kitty coloring stickers. My little cousin is 4 & she loves hello kitty gee i love hello kitty too, who doesnt right? So I*ve got those as well. My aunt picked up a birthday card from me & a sheet of the kitty stickers for my little cousin. She gave me a great idea! Why not promo them together? Then they have a card & a little something extra. So here are my new adds for Sunday!
{FREE Butterfly Pendant}I've had a headache most of the day so i decided to brush up on things. I reinstated the *FREE stuff* section for a limited time. You pay the shipping & handling which is now only $2.50 for the entire section!
I also finally got a treasury. my first one. It was rather easy, i didnt understand how it worked at first.
I*m thinking about opening a ebay store. I*ve heard a few bad things about this & that there are a lot of fee's. Whats your opinions on this? I'm not going to put up a lot of items if i add any at all. Who has ebay? Does it help or are the fee's to ridiculous to start?
I*ve decided to put my *Free Items* section on hiats for a few days until i gather opintions. I had 4 people tell me it was a bad idea because it would draw someone to my site just for the free stuff ( you just pay the shipping & handling) & they would never come back to buy anything. I had another saying it would cater to the wrong crowd then continued to say it ment i had no confidence in my work. I wanted to get opinions from you guys out there & other etsians. With the gas prices at $4 a gallon & other non sense i just want people to be able to enjoy something I*ve created. I had 2 people tell me with the economy the way it is they couldn*t afford it but they loved what they saw on the free page. They saved money & got what they want. I*m only doing this for a limited time to get my new website out there. The piece I*m selling are just like the ones in my etsy shop. There is nothing wrong with them, they arnt damaged.
I love etsy & i love that selling pieces to someone makes them happy. Please take the poll & you can feel free to leave your comment but please be nice about it as the ladies yesterday were not. By the way - i have loads of confidence :D
I added a free jewelry section on my site. Just pay shipping & handling. i added my favorites! You save $7.50!
