If you are in the area this weekend, please stop by and support me and the other crafters at this event. It will be super fun and a good time.  Bartering is welcome on my gently, pre-owned items. See you there!!!

Hey Ladies! First of all, my 50% off Jewelry Sale is still going on! But hurry, the sale is only on thru tomorrow, and then it's 'bye bye' to the Last Chance items.

Hi Again All! ***BOGO BOGO BOGO GOING ON NOW*** Buy one, get one of equal or lesser value HALF OFF! (Yeah, I know, cool right?) There's been a few things going on since my last update.  October and the harvest season is just around the corner - that means the holidays are not far behind, so stay tuned for exciting holiday packages and sales! I'm excited to bring you some new colors in my adjustable rose rings in the meantime. Colors will range from light key lime to bright orange to a deep blue, and everything in between. Also new and debuting shortly is the same type of adjustable ring with a round floral cabochon.  Look for pictures soon! I heard back re: the EtsyRain application for the Pre-Holiday show: I didn't make it in this year and I have to admit, I'm kind of bummed, BUT! There's always another show! It may have been too large of a show for Rachael's Handmade Designs, as it is currently, anyways. So, all-in-all, not a bad thing. ;-) The rai...

It's here, it's here! Sale days have arrived! Right now in my shop, selected pieces are going for HALF OFF. Check it out! This sale is only good for three days - the savings won't last! Perfect for Mother's Day. I'm also getting back into youtube. I took a hiatus from youtube for a while because of school and I've just been so busy doing other things. But, I've posted some new videos in the last day or so. One is on my newest project for my craft storage and the other is a green and periwinkle party makeup look. You should stop by, have a view, and leave a comment if you can.  http://www.youtube.com/user/RMBrackett  I would really appreciate it! I'm also kind of upset because my JVC camcorder won't hold a charge. I looked it up and I may need a new battery. :( Until then, I suppose I'm going to have to keep the camcorder plugged in. *SIGH* So a new battery for my ipod and a new battery for my JVC camcorder. Hmm. I guess this paycheck goes to ...

As I sit here with my morning coffee and bagel with cream cheese and locks, I am filled with the thrill of a purchase from my etsy shop. Unfortunately this purchase has gone unpaid. False hope! LOL This is the first time in my nearly a year of being on Etsy (seriously, this month is my anniversary - look for specials!) that a purchase has gone unpaid. I've heard stories of shoppers not completing said purchases, but have never experienced it for myself until the last few days. Good thing I have my three-day policy in place! If you yourself don't have such a policy in place, I suggest if you sell your crafts, particularly online, that you set one up so "shoppers" who shop without paying don't mess with your listings. (Seriously?! Why take something off the market unless you can pay for it? Very irritating.) Also, I should bring to your attention that I have now been on Etsy for one year this month. IN HONOR OF MY ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY ON ETSY, I AM RUNNING A HALF ...
