J Liz Blog a log...

News and muse, ponderings and wanderings, humor and life, all from my log in the wilderness of this world.

Another thought for Good Changes...

Yesterday I decided to no longer make necklaces with magnets on them so people with pacemakers won't have to have the clasps changed, delaying the arrival of their new-found treasure(s). Today after adding the Earring Gallery Product numbers ("SKU") to the Charm Pendants and a few other necklaces, I decided that once I have the Earrings up in e-commerce, I am going to go back and add the product numbers to matching sets so you won't have to go looking through all of them to find it. I think it's kind of annoying to be told there's something that goes with it in another department and they don't tell you where to look. ---SO! That will be done as I go along when I'm entering Earrings into the e-commerce section.

It's another hot day, 97 F and we're just plugging away here. The critters are all asleep, sleeping through this sapping heat. It is draining.

Well, back to work! One more necklace to enter and then finally on to the Earring Gallery!!!

Thoughts on a hot summer day...

I'm getting closer to having all of the necklaces up in e-commerce, and if my computer connection will cooperate with me a bit better, I should be uploading/entering the Earring Gallery items into e-commerce tomorrow...unless something urgent comes along. Almost all of the puppets are in e-commerce, and all of the horses I have done are in e-commerce.  I have to take photos for some of the J Liz Jewelry & More Seasonal Goodies and packaging options for the J Liz Jewelry & More Packaging. Hopefully soon I will be all caught up!

The Puppets are just a temporary item. I just got a kick out of how they looked and thought I'd share them here. Time will tell, but I think once they're gone, they're gone. Then maybe that page will become something else...miscellaneous deals or?

I have decided that I am no longer going to put magnetic clasps on necklaces because of the risk it poses to persons with pacemakers. I will have them available so they can be put on for those that want them. A while back I started putting all clasps on jump rings because customers sometimes take a real liking to a certain clasp. That way I can change the clasps quickly. Actually, many times I use small split rings because jump rings can open. 

It has been pretty hot here. Almost 100. My poor critters are no doubt miserable with all of that hair. Before the season changes I need to get things painted outside and hope to get my painting done inside. --They started mentioning "Back to School" sales and school starting in a few weeks. Hard to believe how fast time flies. Those back to school reminders are something most kids don't even want mentioned yet--they just want to enjoy their summer and not have that hanging over their head.

I am definitely looking forward to having everything up and ready here on the website. I am also looking forward to having some fun here too with sales, maybe some drawings, etc. and getting the word out about the new website and products. I miss making jewelry. And Horses. A good number of the Horses sold quickly, so I need to replenish the supply of the color combinations that have sold. My creative side is feeling homesick. Hopefully too I will have Beaded Ornaments this year for you too!

Should be a beautiful day and weekend. We had quite a storm here. Winds were clocked at 70 mph and one area had 5 inches of hail. They also recorded over 1500 lightning bolts in an hour!

I am still working to get all of the products uploaded/converted over to e-commerce. I've had a few things come up that I needed to take care of, otherwise I'd be farther along. I also visited with friends on social media for a while. Hopefully soon, Liz, who makes custom baskets will have a store on here too! We talked just the other day. There are a lot of gift basket places on line and locally but unlike most, Liz will actually make up baskets with what you actually want! I took an on-line class about the gift basket business and the instructor advised against it...so that seems to be the predominate attitude---but not with Liz! So stay tuned for her arrival here. Not sure how soon, but we both would like it to be ASAP! I'm still also hoping to bring a few others on board.

Anyway...time to get to work here!

By George, I think I'm figuring this thing out!!!

I managed to figure out some very crucial, important things here and also uploaded all of the horses I currently have made, as well as completing the "Frequently Asked Questions & About J Liz" Page.  I also uploaded some more necklaces and uploaded a bunch on my other website store. That one is pretty hard to find and navigate, which is why I went with Weebly to create my very first real website. I still need to figure out which of the duplicate pages to delete. I have to be very careful about it because if I delete the wrong one, countless hours and gigabytes will vanish and I'll be starting over. Well, 12 + hours at the computer working away is long enough for one day. Time to call it a night and start again tomorrow!

Hmmm....

Ok...Well I thought I had it figured out on how to do the ecommerce and have it set up like I have it now, but for some reason it is not showing up where and how I want it to. So after spending many countless hours on this, I am going to take a break for a few hours and think about it. I have moved the items that --should-- be functioning for purchase to the storefront. They were supposed to be in the Necklace Gallery but it showed it was empty and it shouldn't have been. Hopefully I will be back to work on this in a few hours and will hopefully get it all straightened out. Never a dull moment LOL And now for a little entertainment...Godzilla attacking another dinosaur...it has been blurred because of its graphic nature....or maybe it's just a blurry picture!

News Update about website progress : )

7/15/2014

Like so many people, I learn the most by experience and learn a lot from "learning things the hard way" LOL Sometime maybe I'll tell you about some funny things that happened where I learned the hard way too.

Today's update though is about this website. Because of my "best laid plan" (you know how the saying goes about *that*, right? lol), I have figured out that in order for the e-commerce part to function, I need to re-enter every item for sale. Part of what that entails is going through well over 1,000 photos that I took of everything you see here and figuring out which folder it's in and the picture number. I then write the info down so when I re-enter everything it will go a lot faster. The good news is that I already have all of the necklaces and items on the necklaces page and am close to being done logging all of the info needed for re-entering all of the earrings. Being that those two have the most photos I can say that I am nearing the point of being done. As soon as I finish the photos for the Earrings Gallery I'm going to re-enter all I have ready so the e-commerce for all of those will be functional. ---Hopefully I will be starting that later today or tonight. If you click on it and the item gives you the option of buying it, that means you can go right ahead and claim it as yours!

So....that's the news! If you see something you want and it's not ready yet, send me a message

    I like to have fun, like a good laugh, love to design and create things. I love the wilderness, it's flora and fauna, I love looking at rocks and looking at things under a microscope. I'm always curious, always thinking, and I love all of my critter companions. They give me true, undying love, companionship,  loyal protection and laughs. Without them I think a big part of my heart and my life would be empty. I get a lot of my inspiration from the love of them all.
