It's nice to know it's not just me who is not feelin' the holiday this year.
Unfortunately, I don't have to go very far to commiserate with someone about
how "un-joyus" we are feeling.
I have been immersed in the world of polyclay skulls and glitter lately.
My Etsy shoppe has been very busy this season, and I have been selling
out of my snowflake ornaments and my skull and cross bone ornys. Which is a good thing.
I have also had quite a few special requests for specific colored snowflakes too.
I received an order for 20 flakes, 2 each of 10 different colors. I had to special order the
flakes since Mike's stopped reordering their flakes for the season. I also bought a 1lb. bulk of rhinestones to cut down on the cost of those little suckers.
Well, I spent quite a bit of time glittering the flakes, then adding coordinating rhinestones, and finally, making and adding the color coordinated polymer skulls to the center of each flake.
Did I mention that these take some time to put together?
Well, long story short (too late), the lady totally flaked (pun intended) on me and
never submitted payment for these awesome (albeit labor intensive) ornaments!
So, I have spent the better part of this morning listing them in my Etsy shoppe!!!
I am so proud of my "Peppermint Skully".
Why is it people don't take the time to let someone know they are no longer interested
in a product or want to cancel a special order? I totally understand that sometimes
the funds just aren't available when you need them, or sometimes you just change your mind. It seems as though common courtesy and consideration of other's time and energy is a distant memory.
At least I have some time to try and recoup some of my time and money on this
order before Christmas.
Drop by my shoppe (link is in the sidebar) and see the cool ornaments and schtuff I have for sale.
Please.
