Christmas in July

Can you believe it? Only 5 more months until Christmas! I'm looking at maybe doing a special or 2 for my businesses, but those would be posted tomorrow. I have some things to straighten out before I share them. I do have some pictures to share. The hostess specials for Uppercase Living for August and September. You don't have to live anywhere near me and do a party! You can even have friends who don't live near you order and once the order is put in, it goes to be made and sent. No waiting for the party to close! The other (if it loads right) is the brochure UL made for businesses. I have to wait to do a copy order, but I can show people here now. Plus you can still do your own in My Design Suite or even get a photo print.
Ok, for some reason it says my file is corrupt or something is wrong. You can always go to my site to see the hostess specials for August and September. The business brochure isn't a special one on my site, just things that can be used in a business. We also have new accessories! New colors in the tiles and frames, and more! Getting ready for a vendor show in August and I'm really excited about how I can showcase everything I want. Since I'm trying to beat the heat here, I've been staying inside. Not getting as much done as I'd like, but hopefully I'll get my businesses built up a bit before the school year starts. That's when things get really busy here!
I signed up for some more surveys. Now to find time to get them all done. Hoping they help bring in some money. Looking into a couple other things too. We'll see how things go in the next week or so. Getting organized for school and all my business stuff organized and ready to market. I plan to do some marketing as one business (hence the blog!), but still need to have my individual supplies. Might have to hire some littles with getting things put away like I want. Cheap labor - I can bribe them with night swimming! lol
That's all for tonight. I'll be back with a special for Christmas in July!

I'm here!

Really, I am! I didn't forget about this blog!! Things have just been super crazy lately, plus my laptop is waiting for a new power cord (to do tomorrow, call Best Buy since I went in 5/31!).
The new Uppercase Living catalog starts on July 20th! So many new and exciting things coming! New colors, new accessories, new expressions. You can order directly from my site, so you don't have to live locally, or take the time for a party, you can do a single order.
The main change right now is I have to re-sign up for Enchanted Potions. Also the Bella Beads925 site isn't mine, but you can see what we have and let me know and I can do the order for you! If I sell enough beads I may decide to get the site, but can't justify the expense right now.
I'm available for fundraising. I can do a fundraiser with everything I sell. Just contact me and we can work something out. We can do UL with certain expressions, a UL party, the UL fundraiser they have set up (sports embellishments), or something else. With Noah's Ark, you can do gift certificates, or sell certain animals. Greeting Cake has a fundraiser set up (cakes), but with kids going off to college, you may decide to sell the study boxes. Bella Beads925, you have your choice of beads to sell or have a party. Then EP, you can sell anything for the fundraiser. There's lotions, soaps, air fresheners, and more!

Buy 2 get 1 FREE

Uppercase Living is having a great sale from now until April 5th! Buy 2 and get 1 FREE - out of all our products! You can get something for your kids, parents or just yourself. If you buy a Frameworks, you can end up with 2 expressions/ embellishments (you get 4 inserts with the rectangular Frameworks, 1 insert with the square Frameworks). Think Mother's Day, Father's Day, Graduation or just to decorate a space.
I'm also going to be getting a Vista Print order. I got a great idea from another Rep to get the postcards as gift certificates. I'll have to check since I think the one email I got had free gift certificates available. This weekend will be my weekend to get all my business stuff sorted and organized. Looking to do some shows and it would be nice to just grab and go!
I've been working on some letters for my own special with Uppercase Living. I think I have to reword a little and add a disclaimer (they can take advantage of my special or UL's). I'll need to sit down and figure out more specials to have during the year. I figure if I can get a hotel or business to make a purchase, they could be repeat customers. Do things like buy canvas, paint it and get certain embellishments for a certain price. Maybe they'd also agree to let me leave my business cards there to get other business. We'll have to see how this mailing goes - once I get envelopes that is! lol
Today is a busy day and I just wanted to stop buy and let people know about the great deal! Stop by http://shelszoo.uppercaseliving.net and check out what we have to offer! I did upgrade and you can put in your order right on my site.
Have a fantastic weekend everyone!!

Snow storm on the way!!

This is actually the same storm that hit us the other day (or, did it miss us the other day? lol), and it's coming back for round 2, but it's bringing attitude this time! That's ok, I just have to get diapers (oh yeah, I have to walk since my car needs inspection, and dh has to work). The rest of the day I plan to clean and get my copy order in. Get all of my business letters done, coloring contest pages done (I'll even put them in doors of the neighbor houses with kids), and do a new Vista Print order. I can use my blog address for my new cards instead of having different cards for 4 different things. Plus I can add my webstore on there! I'll have to figure out what I want on the post cards. Maybe about fundraising, or get a special gift for having a certain $$ order. I have to check the UL blog, but it looks like a buy 2 get 1 free deal going on! Plus Monday starts credit card orders on my site!! Woohoo!!! People will be able to check out the online catalog and goodies online and shop whenever they feel like. With the weather we've been having, that should be a good thing!
Noah's Ark is coming out with a new animal June 1st. A cute blue hippo. I think it would be great for baby boys! The Bella Beads should be live soon also. They're like the Pandora beads, but more affordable. Beads starting at $15. I have pictures posted on here with the beads we have available. No new news on the Bella Bee, but they are supposed to do away with some of their flavors and stick with one. I'd like to see 2, if only for a choice.
I need to find a way to make up a flyer for Greeting Cake Co. I'd love to make one highlighting the study boxes as I'm surrounded by colleges! Just need a working car and I could go post flyers on their bulletin boards. Not sure how to get a flyer in with their welcome pack (for incoming students), but that would be great! Nothing perishable, and the cakes are microwavable.
I need to get some sleep. I'll post some new pictures tomorrow along with my auctions update. I opened a store on webstore just to keep my postings in one place. Here's to hoping I get some sales!

Still listing

So far I have 34 listings on webstore.com. Not bad! For whatever reason I can't get my pictures to load for my auctions, but I'm mainly listing curriculum books right now. I'll contact them tomorrow and see if we can figure out why my pictures aren't showing up on my auctions. I listed a few bras (and have a TON of clothes to list), and I'd like the pictures for them.
Waiting on March 1st!! That's when Uppercase Living will accept credit card orders from the demonstrator sites! I'm hoping to get a few orders from that. Not everyone can have a party, or they just want something for themselves, or they live out of state. Now they can order from me and I get the credit!! Woohoo! If Greeting Cake Co. would let us have a free link like most other places I'd be in really good shape with my businesses! Get them all linked up here and just do Vista Print goodies with this info and my email. I should look into getting a cell phone this weekend. My oldest ds and I both need them. Mine would be for business and emergency use (when I'm out without kids and they need me for whatever reason). My ds needs his to call for rides - but, then again, we don't have a working vehicle right now!
Okay. I've had my break. I'm going back to listing some more. Please stop by and check it out. It's totally FREE to sell there! http://Shelszoo.webstore.com

Webstore.com

I'll be posting a *lot* for sale over there in the next few days. We have to come up with a large sum of money, and while my sales won't touch that amount, it will help declutter the place. If you feel led, I'm shelszoo over there. I could also use your prayers while we go through this.
Thanks

The weekend

The weekend is almost here! Not quite sure why I'm happy for the weekend, it just means my dh will be home (which I like), but, I still have a list to work through. I am working on a few specials to put on here. I can tell you Noah's Ark is having a special. Care Bears, Strawberry Shortcake, and the Dinos are on sale! Bella Beads is about to launch (similar to Pandora beads, but you won't have to get a loan to outfit your bracelet).
I'm working on business letters with a page of expressions to send out. I'm looking to get some businesses interested in Uppercase Living. Decorate the walls, plus we have expressions they can use for sales, greeting and more.
Still trying to get a bit more organized here. *sigh* Not sure I'm going to get there, but I'm striving for a bit of an easier time when I go to look for something. Lots going on here with schooling (where we are more or less organized) and renovations. Not to mention 17.1" of snow! More on the way - yeah!!
Starting March 1, you'll be able to buy Uppercase Living from my website! I'm really looking forward to that since I have people that aren't local that would like to buy from me. Go check out my site and see what we have to offer. I *love* this product! It's not just for walls. I did some glass blocks and put lights in them. Instant night light. Put it on a board, and a holiday expression can be used for years to come. Picture frames, buckets, pools, decks, rocks (put a monogram on a rock), tablecloths (don't pull the fabric), and more! You're really only limited by your imagination!
