The Year in Review

Wow, looking back over the last year gives me the chills...I've been preparing for taxes this evening and I've been reviewing my total sales from SparklePuss, FourSeasonsFragrance and weeLUXURIES.com. Very interesting.

The websites are performing well, though we need to see some more action on the weeLUXURIES.com site, but that doesn't surprise me. As I looked over invoices, I remember slogging through each and every orders. NOTHING was easy this year. Thankfully, I didn't have any MORE business, I'm really grateful!

This year is different already, though. I'm getting to orders much faster and can feel the heaviness lifting!! YAY!

I need to redirect the blogs from the other sites to come here, so I can just have ONE place to blog. Yippee.

Had a great day with my sister trying to set us both up on eBay...what a LAUGH! She's on a Mac, I'm on a PC and though I have wireless she had to buy a 25' ethernet cord...what a day! I'm still trying to convince myself that eBay is going to be at all profitable...the fees are outrageous (not to mention the PayPal fees)!! Doesn't that qualify as a monopoly or something illegal!?!! :) But what really keeps me going is thinking about all the fresh new friends and customers I have yet to meet...so I keep listing auctions and opened an eBay store (again) today. I find eBay extremely NON-user friendly...it just isn't intuitive for me like Etsy is...but I'm going to give it 3 to 6 months and see what happens!

Have a great week!
