Life is Fast and Furious

Hello sports fans! Thought you were in another blog? I wanted you to know the good news! I got a job ( you know the kind, with money). Even though I have been blessed with creating beautiful jewelry, you know that it has been rather slow of late, no actually slowsville. Not much money. Well, I am here to to tell you that God works in the 11.9 th hour. I had decided to take a discipleship class at my church, with major committment and all before the job came. And then I had 5 sales from one customer! SHAZAM! Everything came together at once. Now I am exhausted, walking into walls (without glasses of course) and catching up with my Etsy site; but I am truly thankful! Ashar Gems will be getting a bit of a face lift with a seasonal banner and new items. Yes, I have taken the time to get somewhat ready for the holidays. So.....let me know what you think of my little blog. All of this silence (some say is golden) is a bit creepy. Buy something. I get excited when people buy things. I makes my heart go pitty pat!

Raining Cats and Dogs (and Goats)

Well now cats and kittens, as you may be aware, it is raining like I don't know what here in Olympia. Don't be surprised if a hammer head shark is in your front yard in the morning. It found it's way through a mud puddle or stream from the Ocean here at Tolmie State Park. Just messing with you of course. I purchased an iPad the other day for my design business as well as my day job (who knows the difference between night and day these days). When Theresa (BluJeanBeads) and I were in Olympia for a recent street fair, I saw a woman using a iPad with an attachment for credit cards. I was intrigued, and asked her about it. Fun times! She swiped the credit card and the receipt comes to your email account for your overspending records. Cool huh? I went out in search of this attachment, and so far, I have not found it. I think I need a Sherpa. Anyway, just sos you know, I had 5 sales on my Etsy account from my buddy at the UW Medical Center. This occurred on the same day, I confirmed my job with United Healthcare Partners, Inc. in Los Angeles. Everything hit at once. Thank you Jesus. My friend was shopping early for Christmas. I am glad she is a sick, orderly woman. Anyway, my sale will end on the 10th of October, so you had better get it together and make your holiday purchases. Stop by BluJean Beads as well. My sister loves to buy boots!
