The start of something new...

After pulling my hair out for a few weeks, I got myself out of doing my own coding and such for my website and transferred everything over to another venue, so my site is on a more "Penny-Friendly" where I don't have to fiddle with backups, coding, losing data...

Today was rough.. I couldn't for the life of me get my domain to point to the new site.. but after about 8 cups of coffee and being online with my domain registry's tech support, everything is working properly.

So when you have a chance.. come see my new (and definitely improved) site

http://www.sanikicreations.com

The new site has a blog.. so I will be retiring this blog effective immediately.  My new blog is located on my site so no more going from one site to another.  Easy Peasy for me!

I'm not sure how people can follow the posts yet, but I will be advertising out new posts via Facebook and Twitter.

Thank you everyone who has been so patient with my various techie problems for the past few weeks.  Hopefully I'll see you all at the new blog!
 

Welcome 2011... Here's what's we're planning!

Farewell 2010, It was nice knowing ya! Hello 2011, a brand new year with brand new ideas...

This January we are celebrating our 2 Year Anniversary.  We like to call it our toddler stage, but definately not our terrible twos.  We are looking forward to another year of creating more designs.  Through feedback from our local customers, and what we've seen at our recent outings at the craft fairs/trade shows, plus a little bit of research (some might call spying) of what other jewelry designers are doing in my area, within the next six months, we will slowly phase out our beaded jewelry and our Children's Jewelry sections and work on increasing our chainmaille category, so be on the look out for some insane clearance deals...

This January, we are also introducing our Earrings of the Month and Bracelet of the Month clubs.  I, for one, love to receive packages in the mail.  It's almost like Christmas all over again.  With this concept, I will personally design and make specific pieces that will be sent out for club members.  Designs will vary and you will never receive the same thing twice.

Be sure to leave us a comment to say "Hello" or to tell us what you think we could do to make our site more user friendly in our Guest Book section of our site.  We are always looking for feedback from everyone!

Until next time, have a wonderful January, enjoy your loved ones and stay tuned for more news from us!

When did it become April?

Time seems to be going by way too quickly... I think I lost a few days here and there. I don't really remember the month of March being over and we're now in April and in a couple of weeks my middle daughter, Anisa turns 7 years old.  She wants a princess tea party for her birthday... so being such a great Mom I am, I found a "Princess" to host the tea party... For $200 for two hours, she better be a good... I think I'm in the wrong business and should be a "Princess" too and charge parents to attend parties and eat cake.  However, I will probably get fat from all that cake and the way my various moods have been recently, I probably will end up being the evil Queen instead.

But enough about that... I suppose I should try to catch up on what I'm suppose to catch up on and get my things ready for a upcoming craft show in mid-May.

Until the next time I remember to post a blog, be sure to check out my new line of Chainmaille Earrings (lovingly named "Saniki's Little Links").  I originally was suppose to write about that today... somehow got sidetracked... again.  You can go HERE to view the collection I have listed in my Artfire Studio.

How do we look?

After almost 8 hours in front of the computer... I re-did the template of this blog of mine. I never realized how picky I was until I was looking aimlessly for hours for a template that had the background I wanted with the amount of columns I wanted, colours, etc, etc. The list went on.

Now I think I am finished tweaking every website I have. Time for me to take a break and go back creating something that does not include codes and widgets.

Be sure to join our Facebook Fan Page and follow us on Twitter. Doing so ensures that you will get up to date information on promos, sales and giveaways.

Now back to Facebook so I can harvest my Farm, feed my Fish, take care of my Pet, and cook more food in my Cafe....

I've Been Featured In Another Blog. Hurray for Me!

Oh Happy Days.

I've had the privilige to be a Featured Artists in another blog. Come check it out Handmade Jewelry Club and see what I had to say.

Right now I've been busy juggling two shops, the one at Artfire and my new one at Artistry Arts. I've started a Flickr Group for Artistry Arts, so if you wanna take a peek at it, you're more than welcome to.

Artistry Arts still has about 70'ish Free for 6 Months Memberships left. If you are wanting to dip your foot into the wonderful world of selling your handmade items, but wanna save $$$ or you want to expand your horizons, then definately go there and try.

Gotta go again and do more work. (Actually, I'm taking a break and playing with my baby...she's more fun)

Until Next Time....
