Weekly update. . .its been a week

Well, it is "weekly update" time, but it has been a rather boring week of blowing my nose and being sick. 😕 I cannot say I have accomplished a "lot", but I have managed a few things. I did unpack and reorganize and file my sales tax return and fix my flattened display tree. 

unwrapping the beads, lights and garland to re-fluff the tree while it was being constantly attacked by the kitten was fun 😅 he's so cute when he's "helping" 

He is growing and learning to sit still . . .but only for a minute at a time unless he's asleep. 

I did manage to cook awesome Thanksgiving dinner(s) including pumpkin pie and many sides. We successfully had company for dinner. I basically skipped dealing with "business" for the holiday, no posts, no specials, no deals, no sales, while it resulted in no orders it did give me a peaceful holiday weekend of not worrying about things. 😇 I am ok with my decision it was quiet and less stressful than many past holidays with no alerts or notifications or interruptions. 

Yesterday I decided to work on my MakerPlace shop a bit, I added 5 new listings for the chainmaille Christmas ornaments. This morning I woke up to a message there about a custom color bracelet, I'm not saying that being active and having activity are connected it's just interesting timing. 😉 On the flip-side of that is my etsy where I was slow to reply to a message at the beginning of the month and my whole month is down 80% compared to last year. 😒

Actually, etsy currently has the lowest monthly views of my 3 online shops. Whereas, I have found recently Micheals using one of my listing photos in an aol ad. 😯

Also, I'd like to point out that goimagine is spending $ on ads for me, because there are cpc clicks in my analytics and I am not currently running ads anywhere. 😁

I have one more in-person event coming up on December 9th and I am working (thinking) on my booth planning, it will be outdoors so limited to the 10'x10' tent canopy. Although, the tent canopy does give me some good hanging space for larger trees and art 😎 not that I plan to take a lot of art for this one. This final event "Mistletoe Market" is very Christmas focused so the tree, wreath and ornaments will be the main focus with the jewelry in gift boxes. Lucky for me it's in my own town so no extra travel and if I forget something it's literally only blocks away.
