I do not sell to EU countries and never have and likely never will. 

Work, work, work. . .

I'm working on multiple things at once these days. 😄  I've got a painting drying on the easel and a nearly completed tree on the desk, although I spent several hours yesterday working on the fancy new banners.  😇  This blog along with the etsy shop and facebook page all got a face lift, sadly the facebook doesn't fit quite right but I spend hours try different layouts, different photos, made almost a dozen then had to re-size and re-size.  Handcrafts is much more my thing than photography or computer graphics. ~LOL~

Yeah as you can see I got a bit lost and distracted trying different things, there are so many options for layouts, wording, fonts, font color, photos. 😵  Just a dizzying array of choices, I think I did ok, I managed to make a few of them that I think look pretty good. 😊

Mental...

As in I think I'm going mental. ~LOL~

Just a little bit though, it is finally decent weather here and I am enjoying some sunshine, I even got out my bow and got in some archery practice. 😃  I have sold a second painting which is awesome.  I have painted and listed more art.  I have managed to get over 180 listings even though I've sold some stuff.  😇  

I feel like I've been making progress with the shop but I super disappointed in etsy itself and their decision to remove the "sell in person" feature of the app.  😨  They have partnered with Square and we have no option, if you want in person sales to auto-adjust shop inventory and be reflected as sales in your shop you have to sign up with square and sync your stuff. 😟 However, I don't know square, I don't have a square account, I don't really want another third party provider in my business transactions, and I have been reading a lot in the forums of others having issues with things not syncing properly, inventory management issues like square allows you to over-sell as in sell more than you have. 😲  And just yesterday day I saw a thread where the seller was talking about in person sales posting to her shop overnight that were not done by her. ~yikes~ 

So I'm really not sure about the whole square thing but I've been looking at my banks for alternatives and while PNC and 5/3 have merchant services options they are also through other third party providers and I've never even heard of "Clover" at least I had heard of square. 😐  I am not sure what I'm going to do and I actually have my 1 in person market event of the year in less than a month. 

The Mother's Day Sale is almost over there's only 7 days left.  I am working on new wire trees because I've been distracted with painting so much lately and the trees have been selling so I'm running low.😃  I have discovered I enjoy painting ocean waves.
