Nothing new from me this week. It’s been so smoky outside here. It gave me a head cold that I’m currently dealing with. Hope to be back to it next week. I will work on getting my two items out today or tomorrow.

I am so sorry. I only saw the smoke significantly on Saturday because the winds were blowing ash my way. My car had a light dusting of ash all day Saturday. The winds shifted and I haven’t seen it since. I am sorry you are so much closer to the fires. 
I hope you have reprieve from their effects.

Oh I hate wildfires and smoke. So hard physically and mentally. Take care of yourself.

I was considering using Pirate Ship, and then read some of the complaints about them at the Better Business Bureau site.

While I’m sure all businesses get a few complaints here and there, the nature of some of these complaints makes me hesitant. Several people are staying their name and address were being used as “shipped by” on many packages, when they had no knowledge of said packages.

I have dug through my studio and found more goodies… I added a handful of ceramic ornaments, a rattle, and a set of shot glasses. In full disclosure, there is an item in one of the new shops that I have wanted since I first saw one more than a year ago! I am in cahoots with a shop individual already for a custom item but need a couple more points for my wish list piece… If anyone feels that a price on something I am offering seems too high send me a message. I have lowered a couple of prices too… hoping to entice a few more claims…

I was going to use Pirate Ship, but I put the info in and it said $7 and some change. I wanted to see how much I would save so I took it to the Post Office, and they Office shipped it for $5 & change.
I had to have been doing something wrong.

@artsycandice - you could also run a sale in your shop to try and earn some quick points. 
Buy1 point get 1 free, or Buy 2 get 1 free etc.

Alrighty, I’m going to try this sale thing…
For every 2 points spent get a 1 pt item for free! (example, spend 4 points, get 2 free, etc…)
I think I’ll keep the sale on for a few days… Thank you everyone!

The smoke is pretty much normal here for Spokane in august/September. Though it’s never affected me so much before. Today I hardly have a voice, which was fun explaining to people.

Finally! My shop is Open! I’m still tweaking and I do have more coming. I just wanted to get it open finally. I should have more in there by the weekend.

Wonder how they found out their name & address were on those packages?

Got my knitted cowl from @kayrun. It’s wonderful! My husband was making fun of me; I was walking around the house wearing it when it’s still summer temperatures and I was dressed in a light t-shirt.

I think there is some sort of summary sheet that businesses can access when they are using Pirate Ship for their business shipping.
