April Updates

I finally did something I've been meaning to try for awhile now...I listed 2 bead auctions on the JustBeads website! JustBeads is an auction website for, guess what, just beads! I've bought things there before, but never tried selling. The rates are cheaper than Ebay, which is really nice. And it is a much more targeted (but probably smaller) audience than Ebay, so we'll see what happens!


In other news, I am graduating with my Master's Degree in 8 days!! I am totally excited about it. I have lots of family members coming for the ceremony, and then going out to eat afterward. It should be a lot of fun. Tonight is my very last exam, and then I'm all finished! It's been a long (but fun!) 3 and a half years!

I also got to see a lot of family for Easter last weekend; we had Easter at our house for the first time which turned out really good. We had 12 people, which is the most we've ever had for a sit-down meal at our house before. Everyone helped bring food, so we only had to cook a few things. But I spent all day Saturday cleaning the house for everyone, and we had 3 dishwasher-loads full of dishes to wash afterward.

Also, the craft show in Waterford went well. Sales were a bit slow at some points, but that was fine because my in-laws came and sat with me and kept me company. :) So we had a good time! I will keep you posted if I end up doing any more shows in the near future. I've applied for 4 holiday shows so far, but haven't heard anything back yet.

Enjoy the spring weather (if you have any, that is!) We've been having lots of days in the upper 60's/lower 70's, which is really nice. I love it when I can stop relying on the treadmill and actually go running outside!
