Still winter

Yep, it's still winter.  However, we are having some above normal temperatures here in the south and it's been in the high 60's.  The basement is actually is the 60's also.  I'm heading down to the torch tomorrow, I just hope I haven't forgotten anything, hopefully it's just like riding a bike, but you know I think that's a misnomer also.  We shall see.
 
I've been selling my beads on eBay lately and doing fairly well.  I think eBay just has a much larger volume of people that frequent it as compared to Etsy.  Etsy is a great place to find anything handmade, it just isn't as well known and the search capabilities are limited to the short list of tags we are allowed to use as compared to eBay.  I'm still learning all there is to learn about eBay, as a matter of fact one of my new customers had to walk me through creating an invoice for multiple purchases. 
 
I've been considering buying a DVD on all there is to know about eBay.  You know the one, the guy that sells all kinds of computer how-to DVDs and offers the first one for only the price of the shipping, I think his tag line is "Buy my product".  I'm just afraid that if I call to order it they will talk me into something else.  I wonder if he has a website.  I guess next time I see the commercial I'll actually pay attention...LOL 
 
Speaking of commercials have you noticed lately that the commercials are about 100 decibels louder than the show you were watching?  Tonight I headed to the kitchen to get something while a commercial was on and it was so loud that when I came back into the room poor hubby had his hand over his ears.  It never occurred to him to just reach over, grab the remote, and turn the stupid thing down.  Some channels are worse than others, Spike has a really bad habit of absolutely screaming at you when it thinks you have walked into the other room during a commercial.  Thank goodness for DVR's, fast forward through those puppies, I'll show them. 
 
Well, I hope you all have a wonderful holiday season and are able to spend it with friends and family.
Talk to you all soon.......................
