Post Thanksgiving Holiday Updates
Hey everyone,
How was your Thanksgiving? Did you eat a lot of good food?
I think I'm more excited about leftovers to be honest : ) (Since I don't cook!)
I've been missing these past few days because of the Thanksgiving Holiday here in the US. My mom & younger sister also flew out to Washington from Michigan (3,000 miles) to spend Thanksgiving with me this year. It was my first Turkey Day away from home.
I spent it with my boyfriend's family + friends, my mom and little sister. Of course it was awkward, but you gotta get past awkward before you can become comfortable with new acquaintances. I guess...
I was a bit sad my dad couldn't be here with us, but he has to save his vacation time to fly to visit my grandpa in California. My Grandma just passed away back in March & my Grandpa is old, so my dad needs to be able to use his vacation time from work to visit Grandpa. I'm glad I'm closer to California now, I want to take a trip out there soon to visit my my relatives.
I apologize in advance to those that had packages that were issued to ship 11/24/09. I dropped them off, but I couldn't control when they would be scanned into the USPS system. The post office was closed for the holiday so there is a slight delay in the time they scanned in the delivery confirmation for the packages. You should be able to track them this coming week (tomorrow Monday) when everyone is back at work with their turkey sandwiches for lunch.
Jewelry wise, not much is new ~ apart from being really close to attending another bead fair in Portland, OR (where I had been these past two days).
I haven't had the chance to make anything new, unfortunately.
I've just been working away on Holiday Orders. Many packages will be shipped December 1st, and I thank you for your patience. I'm still here, just trying to catch up and keep up with my orders & e-mails. I also have some new gift wrap supplies for the winter season. They make me happy :) There's just something about Santa, Snowflakes, and Reindeer that really lift my spirit.
My mom and sister Julia fly home on Tuesday, that will be a sad day for me. I think I'll just turn up the Christmas radio station & work on jewelry.
December 5th is coming up shortly & I'm declaring that the last official day to place an order in time for Christmas. All orders placed after the 5th probably won't make it in time for Christmas especially if you're buying from overseas.
~ Some random facts that may or may not interest you ~
1. www.dskjewelry.com is delayed until 2010
2. orders are only accepted via "add to cart" (for the time being)
3. Free First Class Shipping to Anywhere applies until January 1st, 2010
4. I may offer US Domestic Express Mail (pretty much a 2 day or overnight service).
5. I may be ending all International Orders because I just have too many orders, or accept International orders every 3 months (any suggestions on waht to do?)
6. I could keep International Orders but only offer 1 shipping method, that would be the Med. Priority w/ Tracking. All currently International packages only have the Customs Numbers which does not track the package, it just shows that the package has been sent.
7. 24K Gold Plated Copper will be introduced verrrrry soon.
8. Gold Necklaces will be available again come January or February.
9. There are a few "Wooden Wolf" Bracelets available (I enable the previous post, if you're interested scroll down or to my older posts).

If you need me, fly me an e-mail to askdskjewelry@gmail.com
I'm still responding to all the e-mails I've received these past few days. Please bare with me ~ I'm answering them as fast as I can ~ and in the order they were received. =^_^=
Totally Random: But has anyone adopted a pet from their local animal shelter? Minh & I are moving in 6 months & we're looking to rescue a dog. We're researching the process, but it would be great to hear it first hand. Let me know if you can help me : )
Love,
Steph
