    I've bought my chain now, at least I'll have some soon though, I really do need it. Jewellery making is good Stacy, it doesn't take up as much space as bouncey castles but it still takes up a bit of space (though I order jiffy bags in 500's so I'm probably not helping myself there). It helps if you have a niche if you're selling it because there are a LOT of people selling jewellery, if I remember rightly I think it's the most popular category on etsy by quite a way.

    I wish I could go back a few years, I'd jump at the chance of opening another ebay shop, I think it's the root of all evil now though :(. I'm so tired today, it took neary 4 hours to dye my hair from start to fnish so I haven't even really achieved much today. Damn lol.

    I constantly dye my hair and it's quite dark at the moment. My sister had to bleach the underside which took an hour and a half to develop, then I had the top part done in black again because my roots were coming through, then she put blue on the underside which had been bleached. With the application & developing time for that lot, plus washing it all out, by the time I'd dried and straightened it again it had taken 4 hours :(.
