Etsy can kiss my BUTT!

I sit here crying. My Etsy shop was shutdown and it doesn't look like it will be re opened.  
I had over 3,000 sales.  It was my pride and joy. It was what I worked so hard on for the past 3 years. I woke up every day and worked on my shop. I invested my heart and soul, blood and sweat into that shop. Etsy shut it down and my world came crashing down in that one email.They shut my income (and everything I had that I felt mad made worth something) down in one click of a button without another thought affecting me and my family so badly. I am left with no number to call only an in personal way of communicating through an email.  I email them regularly now. After the first two copy and paste responses they just ignore me now.  To read more about my Etsy shop shut down and the email they sent me click below to see my other blog
Etsy is ignoring me now. Let it be. Let it be! (I watch frozen tonight... smiles:) I fight in my head. I can choose to dwell in this pain and depression or pick myself up and move on.  I fight the side that says it over! Your future in building a business for your self is gone! Etsy practically served my customers on a silver plate. They were my platform for bringing in customers. How can I get to the top of search results without Etsy? On the other hand I say no! I don't give up! I am strong. I am smart. I have something special here. My backwards and at time awkward ways of thinking and my self determination will get me through this! This is two steps back to go even further and to push me even more. I am out of my comfort zone. There's so much to learn about SEO, Domains, Web Hosting etc. I can do it! I can fight this punch in my stomach from Etsy. No one sees that this is my make or break moment, but I do. . No body can make my future only I can. My future is in my hands and no one else's.  I  am making a choose not to let this punch keep me knocked down, but rather to get up, move on, rise above and be better than before! It is I that can push me ahead in life and myself that can pull me back. Its up to me to educate myself and do what I need to do to be successful.  I feel really depressed, but I am a fighter. I am smart and determined. The next morning after having my Etsy shop closed I called my hubby on the phone to get the credit card numbers to open the art fire account. Click this link to check out my Artfire shop http://www.artfire.com/ext/shop/studio/SparkleBlissJewelry I cried.. literally cried as I punched in the numbers to get the account up and running. I was still am going through the pain of losing my Etsy shop. I may cry but I am a fighter at the same time! There’s a favorite quote of mine that you might have heard before… “I never said it would be easy, but it will be worth it.”  I refuse to work a crappy 9-5 job being treated like excuse my language, but Shit! When I made my sales on Etsy I made more on some days  than I made in a few days working at my 9-5 job.  I wont let this Etsy punch kick keep me down because I am already back up.

Free tutorial on how to make simple dangle earrings

Hello there. So for all you jewelry making lovers out there beginner or advance levels this pair is totally fun and easy to make not to mention beautiful! Here is a picture of what you will be making



What you will need to make these

MATERIALS

Heart lampwork beads (you need 2pcs) click here or copy and paste this link to your address bar above

www.iloveanabel730.etsy.com

Bi cone crystals 2 colors (4 clear AB, 6 light pink AB (or other small beads)

Ball head pins 12pcs (or flat head pins)

Jump rings size 2pcsin size 5mm or a little larger or smaller

2 ear wires

Seed beads size 11 clear silver lined 2pcs for the heart lamp work beads and 10pcs pink color size 15 for the bi cone beads just make sure the seed bead doesn't slip through the hole of the bi cone beads or lamp work beads

Beading mat (not required but very helpful so your beads don't roll away:-)

TOOLS

Flat nose pliers

Round nose pliers

Cutters

So to begin this project get two head pins and put one size 11 silver lined seed bead and one heart lamp work bead on each head pin and create a loop a wire wrapped loop if you know how and if not a simple loop will do:-)

Next do the same for the remaining headpins.. put one size 15 seed bead on a head pin and one bi cone crystal then loop it but don't close the loop yet as you will be attaching it to the chain.

Once you have done this for all your beads and head pins open your two jump rings sideways as not to weaken or deform the metal then slip on one of the two 4 link chain pcs to each of the jump rings and one of the bi cone beads pink color the close the loop and the lamp work heart bead then close the jump rings.

So at this point you should have a little pcs of chain hanging on your two jump rings with a bi cone crystal and heart lamp work bead.

Next attach a bi cone crystal clear ab colored one on the next links going up towards to top of the chain then close the loop. then add another bi cone crystal in color pink AB to the next link and so on changing the colors till you get to the last loop at the top of the chain opposite of the end with the jump ring. Now add the ear wire of each of your two pcs of chain on the last loop with the bi cone on it. There you have it a beautiful pair of earrings! If you have any questions or comments please feel free to leave them! I would LOVE to hear any and all of what you have to say!!
