My Website Will Be Shutting Down

[Pa Nancy]

As of June 4th my website will be shutting down. If you have had your eye on something and just didn't get around to ordering I urge you to do so by then.

I first want to thank my good friends Kathy and Russ W. for letting me share their server. And an extra big THANK YOU to Kathy for making the site for me. I have to take credit for the lousy pics though. Kathy just posted them. LOL Without their generosity and help I wouldn't of had a site. It's been kinda neat saying " My website" LOL But all good things come to an end and I really enjoyed it. Thank you my DEAR friends. HUGS!

I also want to thank you all that purchased earrrings from my site. I hope you all enjoy them for a long time to come. I know I enjoyed making them.

It all started as just a " page or two" for my ponding friends that wanted to see what I made. It has since grown to over 100 pairs of earrings. And I never even thought of being on the first page of Google. 

Again Thank You it's been a pleasure

I still have mine and am pleased with them. I gave football ones to my teenage granddaughter.

[Julles]

Dang it!  I'm one of those ones who never got around to ordering any.  The earrings are so cute!  Hopefully, I'll get my rear in gear and check the site and choose some.  Soon.

I love all the ones you made for me and my friends & family. Perfect gifts.
Can I ask why your shutting down? Will you still be making them?

[Pa Nancy]

I thank you all for the nice compliments.

As long as they don't get wet the earrings will last for many, many years. I only started beading around the the early 90's and I still have them all.

Yes  Tracey, I'll still be making them. I make them for a new bead shop in town that has been selling them on consignment, along with the Swarovski Crystal  suncatchers I most recently started making. (I LOVE the sparkle of bling) 

Kathy and Russ have shared their time, talent, and server with me, to which I am so greatful. Kathy now has a job and no time to devote to keeping up websites.

Again I thank you all for your purchases. Enjoy them for many years to come.

Maybe you could start listing them on the crafter site that Junko listed her pottery on? I think it suppose to be free & the only requirement was that you make the items yourself. Etsy was the name I think.

[Pa Nancy]

Speaking of Junko I miss seeing her around.

Yeah it's called Etsy. I've thought about it, and may give it a look and see. I don't really bead a whole lot now during the summer unless it is to awfully hot to go outside. So will keep the idea on the back burner till fall anyhow. The store is keeping me busy enough for now.

[Bartman]

Do you do custom earrings?  If I sent you a picture could you make earrings from it?

No sorry Bartman. I'm not that good. I have a program that's supposedly you can do that, but I can't figure out how to work it. Actually I have a few programs I can't figure out. 

Sorry wished I could help you.

Junko doesn't do much on Etsy anymore tho she does still have her site there.  Mostly, she sells on Hyenacart.  She's been taking enough special orders to keep her busy. 

There is another new site for selling handmade goods - it's called artfire and it doesn't cost anything to list your wares there.  A lot of crafters are moving there from Etsy where you have to pay per listing . . .

You should look at starting a store on one or more of these sites Nancy.

I will have to check it out, thanks!!

Thanks Teresa, I've never heard of either one of those sites. Will check them out.

How is Junko, I've missed her as well as yourself Teresa.

I THINK artfire is $12/month, but unlimited?  Trying to read fine print for a friend who makes baby clothes
