I Hate Medical Bills.

Soooo finally contacted my insurance about my bills and they took care of a big chunk out of one of them that was originally 1,772 and now is 187. The rest nothing yet, so I sent them another message with all of the claim numbers and told them there is no chance they are pre-existing conditions since I have been with them for a year and a half, so that period of time is gone. There is a 39.66 (newly adjusted), 531.61 (newly adjusted), 145.00, 467.00, 47.00, 187.58 (newly adjusted), 782.00, 33.00 bills... and I have no job (been jobless for 8 months and no one is hiring, *sighs*). I have a total of 2,232.85 in medical bills *sighs*... I pray my tax return is big and I get my b-day and easter money early so I can pay off 170 of my bills.

Waiting for the others to get adjusted hopefully soon... also I don't know why, but the 531.61 is charging me for Applied to 2008 Health Care Plan Deductible and Applied to your Health Care Credit Benefit when I applied for health care back in 2006... I don't understand this.

On top of that I have monthly bills from kohl's, elder beerman, and chase... which are like another total of 2000 bucks *falls over dead*

I just hope I can start selling more... I need to work on a lot of new items soon as soon as I am done with this dress.

Treasury I am in!

Sometimes you feel like a nut... sometimes you don't! I am in TheBeadedHeart's treasury called A Few of My Favorite Nuts Part 2. I love being in treasuries, hehe... been trying hard to get in one.

I need to continue my posting everyday like I use to ^_^... I need to make a post of the giveaways that I have won. When I get the other 2 giveaways to take pictures of i will do so ^_^.

Barely Making It

I have to hurry and make this one dress by the 1st to ship out... thank god I won the bid since I really really needed the money to pay my coming up bills... 40 from my bank card, 10 from khol's and don't know about my other card. I have less than 140 in my saving account.... and going to be 8 months soon without a job. I am stressing sooo much about it.

I am my shop starts selling more or... I get a job soon. Wish me luck please?

Just convo me, tell me which item you want and i will adjust the price before you buy it. This way paypal won't take some of your refunded money away from you ^_^

Boyfriend's B-day! And Other Things

So today is Justin's b-day, turned 21, and I wish to celebrate it with him today... but b/c of school, I can't. Oh well, tomorrow I will though, hehe, and I have a present for him, yay!

Have to finish Dayzee's and Whimsy's items today... need to work on St. Patties this week as well x.x;. Also work on some of my new ideas as well. Have a TON of new ideas~!

OH! We have 100 shop hearts now, woot! We are thinking of having a sale for those 100 heart-ers~!

Okay... on another topic, I have people on my Livejournal complaining to me about the twitter posts. For those that don't know... on loudtwitter, you can make twitter post once a day all of your twitters at once in LJ. I think it is great because I post the same thing in all of my online journals/blogs and that's easy for me, so I don't have to go and post in LJ. Also if the people don't wanna read it, they can easily skip a three to five bullet pointed post, right? These people are my real life friends... and my twitter is about what I am doing in my life and in my shop... they say they only wanna read entries about people's lives, but yet so many that say that have a lot of RP friends in LJ, so they are reading tons of entries of those.

Also they are complaining how I am using my LJ and Twitter for commercial gain. How is anyone online gonna sell anything if they don't use Journals to promote? Do you think anyone has a right to tell you what you can or can not post in your own journal? Do you think it is silly for them to defriend you because of an once a day post... I only post in my livejournal once a day.

DaisyLove... I mean, DayzeeLove

So for my banner I am making DayzeeLove a daisy with a heart key chain ^___^ and this is what I got so far. I still have to sand, paint, seal, and glue the key chain to it... but what do you guys think so far? I hope she loves it ^_____^

Also don't forget, everyone, 15% off of everything in my shop... already listed as their sales prices. Sale ends in about 9 hours ^_^

15% Off V-day

So I am having a sale for two weeks for v-day on v-day and kitty items ^___^... 15% off of those items... that may not seem a lot, but that's like 3 dollars off of my v-day hat ^_^. So yeah, come to the shop for lovely v-day items before it is too late!

PastryStitches

New Banner!!!!

If you haven't seen my shop yesterday or today, you have not seen the best banner in the world that I got!!! In a trade exchange, Dayzeelove made me a banner for my shop in exchange for a custom order of a Daisy with a heart in the middle of it. I will be working on that, heartless key chain, a new commission necklace, nobody symbol earrings, and hats!

LOOKIE the banner, isn't it great!


Dayzee should so go into making banners and avatars for people to make money ^___^. I will be posting pictures of the Daisy Heart when I am done with it.

Deal is Over Tomorrow~! Geekery Flag!

So quick reminder... my deal is over tomorrow night! No one wants a 15% off coupon? T____T

Oh and also I decided on Brown, Orange, and Yellow for the Nerd/Geek flag ^____^ I think it will look nice! Brown for the neutral color and I think Yellow and Orange works for guys and girls, so yeah. I hope to have 5 pins made for Sunday to post on Etsy ^____^!

Anniversary, Nerd Parade, and Featured, oh my!

Yesterday was my bf and my anniversary ^___^ marks 5 months being with each other... my longest relationship and hopefully my last. I love him to pieces and so can't wait till the day there is a ring on my finger ^_^. ~<3

His b-day is in Feb, hope I have money to get him a b-day present ^___^ I am sure I will.. well if I get this job that is. Luckily he understands if I can't.. could make him something again, LOL!

Featured in two blogs now, me soooo happy! The newest one is at Audrey's Country Crafts.. the first one was at 365 Days of Etsy.

Now in a third blog! Artistico Greek Nation Treasuries

Knot was complaining how the gays have flags and parades... why not nerds/dorks? No, we aren't bashing the gays, so no flaming. She said the flag should be argyle and a pocket full of pencils and kleenex or something along those lines. So I will be working on designing that as a pin, so look out for those this week or the next ^_^.

Hoping to get the main part of my kirby hat done today... might have pictures of that up in my deviantART.
