Happenings

Since moving I realized a couple things. I depend on the internet way too much and there are far too many bugs at this new house.

I knew what I was getting into with the internet, and I was still surprised by how much I need it.  We had thought after a few months of saving we would upgrade, but we've given in after less than two weeks.  What we currently have is horrible, I can only manage to stay online for a few minutes and it's super slow.  That's why I haven't gotten much done with updating my store.  My internet won't let me.

Now onto the bugs.  It seems like every time I walk into my room there's some new bug.  Before we moved in there were instances of the world's largest hornet, and a bumble bee.  Both met their makers by being crushed with boxes from moving.  Since we've moved in I've noticed some moths, other weird flying bugs, a stink bug (gross), and even a couple ants.  Overall, it's not as fun as it sounds.  I love the quiet of living in the woods, but bugs are not my forte.

Other than that, life is starting to get back to normal.  I still have way too many boxes in my room, and most of that is because I'm lazy. I packed most of my stuff up in March and April, and I haven't needed it since so why unpack it.  Part of it is also caused by my utter lack of storage.  Sure my room is literally twice the size of my previous room, but there aren't any shelves, so it all has to stay in boxes.  

All of my supplies for polish making never got packed, they rode over in the car with me.  Which has been great because I've been working on finishing my newest collection.  I've called it "Gender Benders" because each polish is named after a man.  When I finally get my new camera, I'll do a post about each color. I love this collection, and I made myself a complete collection to keep.  I don't normally do that.  I did for my Doctor Who collection (for obvious reasons), but this one has so many great colors I just couldn't help myself.  I'm wearing one right now called Reginald.  It's a beet red jelly base with yellow small square glitters, gold, orange, pink, purple, hot pink, and yellow micro glitters.  I'm planning on getting this collection up and running in early July.  It was supposed to be early June, but with moving and all the internet problems I've pushed it back a month. To tide you over, there's a huge sale going on in my store right now.  Buy any two polishes and get a third for free. There is a limit of five free ones per customer. http://www.etsy.com/shop/LynBDesigns?section_id=10991064

Moving Day!

The day has finally come, I get to move.  I'm only moving about a half an hour away from where I live now, but let me tell you it hasn't been easy.  It literally taken months to get things all figured out, and even now we're still rushing to get our beds moved.

In honor of this huge move I'm having an awesome sale in my Etsy store.  For a while I've had buy three polishes get a fourth free.  Well, I've bumped that up to buy TWO polishes get a third free.  I've put a five free polish limit on this sale just to ensure I still have some inventory when I'm done.  This sale lasts until the end of June, and all you have to do is put the names of the polishes you want for free in the buyer comments when you check out.
