Wow, thanks so much for all the advice guys! Troubletb, thanks for the heads up! Great advice.

Dan, I was looking at some sort of template subscription service web site today. I know it would make my things look more desirable. And I had already decided to include tracking and insurance. I think that's an important safeguard too. Thanks for the input.

I know I am able to do creative things that people are impressed with, or else all my friends and family are lying dawgs, lol!! I've got quite a few beads that are calling out to be strung. My daughter has a fabulous jewelry wardrobe. I'm itching to start selling some things but I'm just scared I'm gonna get burned a lot. I've been reading lots of horror stories on the e-bay forums.

Jodi, my dream would be to make some money off my obsession, lol! You and Shana do so well! I've spoiled myself because I only like to work with natural stones and expensive beads and crystals. So the fear that paralyzes me is that I have priced myself out of the marketplace.

I have designed using Swarovski crystals, tourquoise, strawberry quartz, pearls and sterling silver among others. The small creme beads with polka dots in the pic below are dalmatian jasper. Very cool! And I love to do pendants with wire wrapping. I never use plastic unless they're seed beads or very very unusual. I don't know...maybe I'll go for it. I just have no confidence in myself!! Ugh! Anyway, what do you guys think of these? Gosh these pix are awful. Sorry!
