It's A Gray Etsy Day!

    If you're wondering what this is, it's ME! Well, one part of me, my gray hair. It's kind of in a rat's nest right now, but it's early and I haven't combed it. Also, I took it myself...blindly, with my arms over my head. I did it as a joke because I was wondering how gray I was getting. Yikes!!! ^_^
    Whatever! I earned every one of those curled up gray swirls too. And Etsy is going to make me grow some more, I'm sure! UGH!!!! I went over to the site this morning and all of my photos are all off-sized!! Apparently they "IMPROVED" the photo upload section on the site and now your items are SUPPOSE to show up larger and more professional looking. Mine now look worse than ever!!!
   Just to show you what I mean, look at the new photo of my Pistachio Razzle Dazzle hat that I just uploaded to my shop--> HERE. See how much smaller it is in the space now?!!
   But look at how gorgeous Cindy's earrings look--> HERE! They're so pretty!! Well so is the rest of her shop, CinLynnBoutique. ...Honestly, I just feel like crying this morning. As if my photos weren't bad enough!!!
   I went to the Etsy Forum to chat with some other shop owners about the new change. There's lots of complaining going on, but mostly about why this change is taking place and not some of the others they've been complaining about for so long. Not very many are complaining about the look of their photos.......from the forum thread I was reading anyway. I asked what dimensions I was suppose to be using now and they gave me some gobbledygook about 800 to 1000 pixels, as if I know a pixel from a hole in the wall!!!! Grrrrr! I asked if they could tell me in simpler, lame-O terms. UGH! Bottom line.......I'm taking my pictures at the wrong size. I need to re-take the photos!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;'_'; I'm not kidding, I am so frustrated right now!! I may end up closing up my shop.
   I just don't think I can go through re-taking 250...almost...pictures, which I can't stand fiddling with in the FIRST place!!! I just barely had them looking at least decent, and here comes Etsy and burst my little delusional bubble!.....Yep! I can feel another gray hair growing right here...↓

      Oh Well, at least I know what day it is!!! LOL And that's going to get a lot easier pretty soon. Mariann Rea of LittleFoxPhotos has a beautiful NEW Calendar coming out for 2011!!! ....{Okay, so that wasn't the smoothest segway I could have done!!  But anyway...^_^}

        ...Isn't it beautiful!!! I love that she has the info about the little Swan right on the front of the Calendar. And guess what?! You can start pre-ordering your Calendar right now if you'd like. She's offering a bargain on them that will go up later.You can follow and chat with her on Facebook, on her blog, or on Twitter about it now. Or you can just keep an eye on her Etsy shop to see when it's actually here!
    Okay, So it's suppose to rain again today and tomorrow here. With the way I woke up feeling this morning, either I need to go back to bed and grow some more gray hairs, or develop the attitude of this little ant, from the Etsy shop becmudd... 

      ....Just don't let it get me down, turn on some music and start Dancing In The Rain!!!
{The poem today is from my archives! I realized that I hadn't shared it on this blog yet...and frankly, there will never be a GOOD time to share it. But since I'm not in a very good mood today....THANK YOU ETSY!!!...why should my poem be in a good mood!!! So, today it is!! ^_^ But I don't really remember why I wrote it in the first place!  :-)}

Insidious

When the people that you love
leave you-just like Noah's  dove;
When the ones you care about
expect your trust-But cater doubt-
you don't  give out!
When the ones you take care of
don't  reciprocate the love;
When you cry-they hear the sound,
but want to push you further down-
you stand your ground!
"I love you" is what they claim.
Taking advantage is their aim;
They may claim to be your friend,
but they want something in the end-
you don't  give in!
You just give them a little nod,
and put your total trust in God.
Even if they go too far
you don't  let them change who you are-
or leave a scar!
