So far I've sold 4 things, I've not been charged for the set up of the shop but I have noticed paypal take a little %, (not much) like they do if your selling on ebay

I must list some new bits this weekend, its been ages since I have but I've been so busy this last 2weeks, I finished my Nieces christening present today (its on my blog) & tomo I must make the card. I've had a couple of special orders the last coulpe of weeks too, so that helps Theres so much I still want to try & make, so many ideas in my head but so little time :rotfl:I have started to jot ideas down so I don't forget them

haha I have a list of ideas too! And if Ive seen it on a website then Ive put the website next to it just incase!

I presumed Paypal would take their cut! Do you get an email or something when an item sells then? So you dont get charged an amount per item when it sells like you do on ebay by ebay itself then?

Going to go check your blog out now

I'm not sure about getting an email, I've just got into the habit of checking on the shop page. I am abit pants at checking my emails though & tend to have a mad deleting session as I got alot of junk mail! I've not noticed any other charge from a sale other than paypal

I've just blogged the 2 bag charms I made for a special order & also 2 cards I have made today, one is a birthday card & the other is for the Christening

Samantha you have to tie a double knot and I always add a dab of glue to the knot to make sure it stays secured. You can also glue the knot into the bead iykwim.
Yukki, your bracelet is lovely I would keep it if I were you.
I have made a brooch for my jewellery challenge this week, well two actually, the details are you know where, but here they are;



Hope this counts?
