November 2009

Happy Thanksgiving!

I've been trying for 2 days to buy an ad for my Facebook fan page and I give up! I can't get past the first page on "create an ad."

When I joined FB in July, I couldn't even get to the advertising FAQ pages for over a month. When I clicked "create an ad", I got sent to a blank page. For 6 weeks, ok?

I mean, are they selling ads, or not??? Because if they are, they should pay more attention to unstable software programs which don't work.

If I ran my business the way Facebook runs theirs, I'd be refilling the napkin dispensers at McDonalds.

So here's the sale:

"The Calm Before the Storm" sale

November birthstones are topaz and citrine.
Citrine increases self-confidence, optimism, and awareness. Encourages the flow of creativity. Improves blood circulation and digestion. 2nd-3rd chakras.
Topaz helps assimilate nutrients and energy. Used to release tension. 3rd and 7th chakras.

I have several jewelry styles using citrine. Ask if you need help finding them. I don't currently carry topaz.

Today's metal prices:
$18.18 Sterling Silver
1140.00 Gold

When I sent the August newsletter, prices were $13.40 Sterling Silver and $932.50 Gold. Unfortunately, this large of a price increase affects both my finished jewelry and supplies.

If you celebrate, have a happy, happy Thanksgiving! Say thanks for the blessings in your life.

On a lighter note -- remember, leftovers are your friend. You don't have to eat it all at once.
