2008-04-25T00:45:00.003-04:00

so i have been really down about sales i dont know why im not selling as much, probably the economy, im sure it is gas was 3.89 a gallon, who can afford that its insane, hopefully things will change soon,,,yeah right anyway heres some new stuff ive been working on :)
i added new butterfly transformations on etsy :)

What would you do for 50 bucks?

2008-04-18T20:02:00.005-04:00

well hopefully i will have another job set up for earring cards and buttons we will see,
i designed this business card for a contest we will see if they like it...i do lol but i guess that doesn't matter in the design world...other note i might have an actual day time job at a Sign Shop creating car side decals, big business signs, etc. i will probably know by next week or so...exciting i know ha, well i guess i should check my mail tt you all again, callista

well its been a while and etsy hates me lol

2008-04-16T22:44:00.006-04:00

well ive been sent a horrible email by etsy.com, im not allowed for some reason to sell ANYTHING other than banners and avatars in my shop!? WTF? ive had an account forever and my items are for etsy members arg im so mad about this...i mean there must be at least 200 graphic designers on etsy and there sites still have web design, AD design, business card design ect. i dont know what to do...i paid for the listings to top it all off, they owe me mula, not much but still i think im going to talk to them again about this and hopefully i wont lose my only business right now...
