Nada Surf!

So Today Me and Jereme Went and Saw One of Our Favorite Bands Ever (it might be jeremes favorite band i can’t remember it’s a cross between a couple!) NADA SURF! Love Them! I Was Nervous Since We Hadn’t Been to A Show in Atleast A Year But They Were Great and Everything Was Amazing! Although My Good Cameras Battery Was ALMOST Dead So I Figured I’d Just Bring My Little Camera, and It Sucked Booty! But I Did Get a Few Videos and Some Photos! Still Bad Photos But YOU GET THE IDEA hehe I Needed Some Kind Of Memories! :)
Anyhow! It Was Super Fun! And I Hope We Go to More Shows Soon! :) Jereme and His Brother Logan are Going to See Thrice on Friday! Super Jealous! I Might Try and Talk ‘Em Into Me Going With Them hmmmm? hehe We’ll SEE! But On Friday is Emily Martins (the black apple) Art Show in Portland, OR and I Wanted to Go to that on Opening Night in Hopes to Meet Her As Well! So I’ll Have to Figure out What to Dooooo!
Okiedokie! I’m Stinky I Need to Shower! I’ll Be Back Tomorrow!! Hope Everyone Had a Great Weekend!!! And Happy Memorial Day Everyone!!!

Exciting News!!

SO After a Rough Couple of Etsy Days (oi vey! :/ ps: Thank You Everyone for Your Support and Comments on My Venting Blog Post I Appreciate It!). I Decided to Try My Hand at Making a Webstore! I Have a Ton of Ideas for It!! And It’s Slowly Getting There I Think It’s Looking Pretty Darn Good So Far! :) I’m Still Trying to Figure Out the Checkout Situation I’m Not Sure How to Multi-Ship Right Now and If Someone Buys an Item Does It Take it Off…? Hm… We’ll See… lol. :) But Take a Peek If You Get a Chance! And Let Me Know What You Think! Tomorrow I’m Going to Make a Fun Front Page to Replace My Etsy Listings on the Homepage So That Should Be Fun!!

Okay Back to Working on It! I’ll Be Back With Some Photos from the Past Week!

Mean Buyers

Dear Blog Readers

I Try My Best to Not Talk About My Etsy Shop Getting Bad Feedbacks, But Today I’m Going to Since I’m Just So Frustrated! So There Is This Buyer Who Bought From Me Back in February Mind You! I Mailed Out Her Order as I Always Do (duh!) And She Emails Me Promptly Telling Me I Haven’t Recieved My Purchase Yadda Yadda Yadda, In a Rude Matter That is! And I Apologized and Offered a Refund, and I Did So, and Paypal Informed Me that She Did In fact Recieved it So I Thought Great Done Complete, A Few Days LATER I Get the Package in the Mail as it Was Sent to a Non Existance Address (not my fault! it was her PAYPAL address!) Now Flash Forward to May I Believe (this May of Course) I Recieve a Negative Feedback From Her Complaining She Didn’t Get Her Package and Complaining that I Gave Her a Refund Back. Hmm..? Really Why Would Someone Complain if They Got Their Refund Back as They Asked For It? AND I Wasn’t Even at Fault! She Gave Me the Wrong Address and My Policy is To Mail ALL Packages to Your Paypal Account Address. Oi Vey! Really?? Ugh! And Now My Shop Has a 99% Which is Absolutley Frusterating to Me Seeing I Was Not at Fault. Ugh!
Anyways Flash Forward to Today May 26th She Sends Me an Etsy Non-Delivery Report Stating She Never Got Her Package. When WE WENT THROUGH THIS WHOLE SITUATION BACK IN FEBRUARY AND I GAVE HER, HER MONEY BACK!! omg! Really!!! So I’m NOT Refunding Her Money Back Again, I’m Just So Stressed Out It’s Insane I Emailed Etsy Telling them The Situation and I Hope They Cancel the Non-Delivery Report Since I’am in no Way Talking to that Insane Nutso Again! UGH!
So Much Drama It’s Crazy, Let Alone I LOVE Etsy SO Much They Have Given Me Insane Amounts of Opportunitys I Couldn’t Thank Them ENOUGH! Really! I LOVE THEM! I Can’t Picture Myself Without an Etsy Shop! But If i Could Suggest One Thing It Would Be to Protect the Sellers Just as Much if Not MORE Then the Buyers We Are the Ones Who Keep Etsy Going and Amazing. :( Ugh!
And To Make it Worse Today I Got A Neutral and Really People It’s Okay if You Dont Like Your Purchase But Please, PLEASE Explain What is Wrong Don’t Leave it Black and It’s Quite Childish in My Opinion! :(

Okay I’m Done Venting!!

And To ALL The Many Amazing Buyers Who Have Purchased From I Couldn’t Be Here without You and Your Amazing Support You Are the BEST EVERRRRRRRRR! xoxoox

UGHHH!
