Last week…I pulled the pin. I’d been putting it off for at least a year… yup 🤦‍♀️ I hadn’t changed my jewelry prices for over 8 years. We get so comfortable in our little niches… just rolling with the punches. Then you see what you’re now paying for shipping (materials coming in) and postage (finished product going out) and you just can’t keep taking the loss. So that means creating new signage, changing all the prices in your square machine and oh Gods help me! Your website. When was the last time you did a deep dive into your prices? Are they keeping you up to date?

Wish you were here! (That's me in the pink cowboy hat!)

Once you've (finally!) finished going through all your notifications, what's on your "To-Do" list today? I'm working on my website, changing all my pricing today. I'm about 2/3 of the way done...so there's light at the end of this tunnel. I've been putting it off for a while...yikes!

I'm making magnetic bookmarks. Stickers are still my main priority but I'm branching out and using my Cricut for other items. I've finally settled on which paper, cardstock, with laminate, cutting on Cricut at "Medium Cardstock" and using the Hygloss magnets with sticky back. It took me months of trial and error to come up with the right items! I'll probably take a break from this because when I cut this the Cricut doesn't stick to some of the print guidelines and I end up tossing a lot of the bookmarks. I need to research this and find a solution, but I'm busy right now, so I'll come back to it!

Hoping I posted this in the right category... anyways, here it goes... It turns out that I have a boatload of clean wood ash from our woodstove. We are never going to use all of it in the garden this year. Since wood ash makes a good, environmentally friendly odour absorber, I am trying to figure out something I can use as a decorative container. Ideally, it would need to be sealable to be air-tight to keep the wood ash fresh until first use, but also have a removable plug with holes in it to allow for odours to be absorbed and for fresh wood ash to be placed inside... Does anyone have any suggestions?
