My First Deadbeat Buyer

Yes it's true, I have experienced my first deadbeat (hopefully my last). This buyer bought an item from me and never paid. It's been a month! I sent her an email in attempt to contact her but never got anything back. I contacted the admins of etsy to try to get my fees refunded and re-listed the item. Hopefully it will now find a good honest home.

The item is an Apple Crystal Bead Figurine:

A shinny apple crystal bead figurine that's good enough to eat! Perfect for decoration or a fun gift!

Dimension: APPROX 2.5"X 2.5"X 3.5"

I LOVE animes. One of the first movies I ever watched when I was a kid was an anime called The Grave of the Fireflies and My Neighbor Totoro. I fell in love with animes ever since. I watch all different genres in animes: horror, thrillers, kiddie ones , stupid love stories one... One of my favorite anime movies is Vampire Hunter D:Bloodlust.

Sold a Large Order!

Woo Hoo!

After a long hiatus after my first order on etsy, someone placed a "large"order (it's large to me)!

  • Tiger crystal figurine
  • Bunny crystal figurine
  • Swarovski crystal purse charm
  • Totoro crystal figurine
  • Pig crystal figurine
My "sold items" section doesn't look so sad now. This actually encourages me to go out there and promote more since I really haven't done much of late. Check out my store at http://daibebeads.etsy.com - I will be restocking those sold items soon.

In other unrelated news, I played softball yesterday with my boyfriend, his cousins and friends. I love playing with them because even though I'm always the only girl playing, they don't show me any mercy. They pitch just as hard as they do with the guys, they expect me to do all the things they do. I love that because I hate it when guys purposely throw softer to you just because you're a girl. Anyways, my team won, I got a couple of hits and rbi's (and shamefully an error because I missed catching a ball). And i got a mean tan from being under the beaming sun.

Clay Aiken Gets Beaten by a Woman

Read Article Here

Clay Aiken got into a dispute with a woman on a plane that apparently got the FBI involved (but no charges were filed). The woman complained that his foot was resting on her arm rest and during an argument she shoved him down.

Funny.

But in reality, even a little girl like me can beat up Clay Aiken.
