Back in the Swing....LOL

Okay, so I think I am finally getting back into the swing of things. I have my etsy back up, I need to list some more, have plenty more items, just didn't have enough in my PayPal to list more of them right now. I have made a couple of posts to this blog. Now, back to the research for new things. My next promotions will be 4th of July/Americana themes. Hope you like them! I like to promote etsy shops because they are Artisan/Handmade items and I feel it is important to support them! So, I am currently searching for these sellers and as soon as I find them I will post again!

New Fan Page on FaceBook

Hi all, just set up my Fan page on FB. It is still a work in progress but will eventually get there...LOL Here is the link. Vicki Joyce Designs Fan Page .
Hopefully I can get it looking a lot better soon. I have re-opened my etsy shop with just my beaded jewelry. Hope you all like it.

Long Time No See

Well, I have been gone a long time. I was sick for a while and then I lost my computer and internet connection. Sorry, but will try to keep up better in the future. Thanks for being patient.

So, my youngest daughter(Angel) had her birthday yesterday....isn't she pretty? She turned 27 years old and thinks she is ancient now....told her to think about my age and talk to me when she gets there...LOL.

We went to the movies and saw Taken. It was a pretty good movie even though it is not my usual kind of movie, of course it helped that Liam Neeson was in it...LOL.

We had a small party for her last night. Just some cake and ice cream and the family. She has two daughters an 8 year old, almost 9 and then her youngest will be a year old on the 22nd. They were both there but only the oldest really understood what was going on and was really excited.

My oldest has a birthday this month too, on the 18th, guess we will have another party then...lots of parties this month....oh joy!!!!

Oh!!! Almost forgot...got out of the movie yesterday and we had winter tornado warnings/watches all over Oklahoma....sheesh, that is not supposed to happen in the winter!! So, we rushed home and stayed there, how fun for her birthday!!

Well, that's it for now. Talk to you all soon.

Half-Off Sale

Okay, so it has been a long time since I posted to my blog....sorry everyone. Been really busy with family. So two of my daughters and one of my granddaughters have birthdays this month so I am doing a half off sale to celebrate. I renewed some of my items and cut the prices on everything so that it reflects the half-off. This is only good for the month of February though. As of March first all prices will go back up to double what they are now.

So, Valentines is this month too, hmmm, maybe I should make some new pendants for the occasion. Well, we will see. That's all for now. Talk to you again soon though.

The Movie

Well, went to see twilight the movie on Friday 11/21/08 and I thought it was great. Yes, there were things in the movie that weren't in the book and things that were in the book that weren't in the movie but no adaptation is ever as good as the book so I was very happy with the movie. I plan on going to see it again because I was too close to the screen the first time. I also plan on buying the DVD as soon as it comes out. I am still trying to figure out how to do my pendants for the book without copyright infringement....just haven't figured anything out yet. Well, that is not completely true, I do have a flameheart with the name Cullen in it on one of my pendants and I could do one for Edward, Bella, Jacob, so forth. Just wish I could come up with a picture though that would convey the movie that was not copyrighted. Oh well, something will come to me or the graphic artist that I have asked to work on it. When she figures it out I will be happy and she will be able to make some money....LOL.

The production company announced the next day that they "will" be making the next book in the series into a movie....New Moon. I can't wait......I love this series!! They made their investment back on the movie twice over just this weekend. They spent $37 million to make the movie and they made $70.4 million just over this weekend!! They had a very small budget because they are an indie film maker and they had never had a blockbuster before....this is only their 6th film so I think they did fantastic, all things considered, and I believe they will do even better on the next one. The stars have already signed on for the sequel.

I actually had to work today because we are in training and will be missing Thursday and Friday. It wasn't too bad though, the instructor kept us busy so the day went by fast but hated getting up that early on a Sunday!!

Well, I guess we will start looking at Christmas things next week. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!
