Father's Day and Updates

My laptop has been broken ever since I got back from Italy. It wasn't so bad because I had my parent's computer to use, but our internet was broken this past week and I just got it back this weekend. I'm really happy to have it back. :) It made me notice how dependent I am on the internet to check stuff. One of the days my internet was down, I went to a store called Fly Bird and gave them info on my shop. They said they weren't taking wholesale right now, but they might contact me in the future. The shop is really cute and it's in my hometown so it'd be nice to have some of my journals there. I also bought some new binder's board and paper.

I was looking at Google Analytics and noticed the times I got the most views were about 2:00 and 8:00PM. So I'm trying to renew items at that time to get more views because I heard that can help. I never liked renewing much in the past (it seems like a waste of money and it hasn't really brought me sales), but I thought I'd try it again. To shop owners - do you renew your items? If so, how often and do you think it has helped?

I might list some items on EBay soon - not craft stuff, but just old stuff to sell. I've done that before and made some money so I thought I'd do it again.

I made my dad a Father's Day card (for tomorrow) in the shape of a tie. I used music note decorative paper because he plays the piano. I really like how it turned out and might make more to sell in the future (except have them flip open next time).





I got my Italy photos developed and uploaded. I'm going to post them to my flickr and maybe write a description/overview here. I have to write 3 papers for the class in Italy (it was a school trip), but maybe after I finish those, I'll work on editing the photos. A bunch have this light leak through them and I'm hoping there's some way I can fix that on a photo editing program. I thought I could just darken the light part, but then it just ends up gray and dark where the light was instead of showing the photo underneath that was covered by light. If anybody knows how to fix that, let me know.
