I really suck at taking photos but I am slowly getting there. To be honest I like both backgrounds for the sterling silver earrings you have there and I love those kisses earrings too. All of the photos are great to me. :-)Pegasus Handmade Soapshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03924609740723072083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6390210108190723835.post-23158315896438351092008-11-19T07:49:00.000-05:002008-11-19T07:49:00.000-05:00great ideas. thank you for sharing.great ideas. thank you for sharing.ChichiBouliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09870165886859493342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6390210108190723835.post-51971402695331069932008-11-19T07:40:00.000-05:002008-11-19T07:40:00.000-05:00You are so right...*note to self: update*You are so right...<BR/><BR/>*note to self: update*High Desert Divahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06612606483622054573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6390210108190723835.post-57237023899728739512008-11-19T03:42:00.000-05:002008-11-19T03:42:00.000-05:00Hey there!I'm kinda dropping by randomly (& kinda ...Hey there!<BR/><BR/>I'm kinda dropping by randomly (& kinda dropping by to hit you with my EC) to tell you about this new selling site I found. It's called ArtFire.com & you should check it out.<BR/><BR/>It's still really, really new (still in beta) but it's heading in a really good direction! They are already buying advertising online & in print magazines to bring in traffic to the site. (It's already got almost as much traffic as indiepublic.com) <BR/><BR/>It's got stats for shop views so you know where your customers are coming from! I know! Gasp! Faint! Right? hehe<BR/><BR/>& it's just $7 a month (for the first 5000 artists) to list & sell as much as you can FOREVER. $7 a month no matter what! I signed up on that alone! haha<BR/><BR/>Anyhoo, it is new so there aren't zillions of people using it (which is good & bad) but I thought you might want to take a look at it. With the ad campaign they are working on kicking in soon (or so they are saying), I think it's going to be a good place to start listing!<BR/><BR/>If you sign up, give me a yell & let me know what you think!<BR/><BR/>Always,<BR/>Amy<BR/><BR/>P.S. Great tips for sprucing up listings! Words to live by!Always Amyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13064488054976777355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6390210108190723835.post-71674973103249136742008-11-19T01:08:00.000-05:002008-11-19T01:08:00.000-05:00Wow!
