I'm a procrastinator master

I knew it's been a long time since I posted on this blog, but had no idea it had been as far back as April 12, 2008. WOW! Talk about procrastination!

I still have my Earthly Creations and Arizona Skies shops at Etsy. I still have my third shop, Aurora Creations, at iCraft but that one will probably be deleted, the place is just not working out for me (and for a lot of other sellers). I also still have my shop at Dawanda (Filomena Designs) and that one is doing okay, will keep it for as long as I get some sales in it. I've recently opened a shop at ArtFire, Arizona Skies, but no sales yet, I posted items on 12/02. And just yesterday I registered at 1000Markets.com (Arizona Skies Creations) and need to list stuff in it and wait to be accepted. Will try and do that tomorrow.

I LOVE making jewelry and crafts and can't imagine NOT doing it anymore. BUT, I'm not as successful as other sellers who started around the same time I did and I only have a total of 52 sales between three shops. I think my stuff is pretty, but maybe I'm biased and others don't find it appealing? I also admit that I must be the world's lousiest marketer. I don't advertise or promote at all, except for rare postings in the forums and having curated a few Treasuries since October. Promoting seems like such a big CHORE.
