The deadline day. Which actually was considered <em>overdue</em> 2 months ago.

I don't know why the tide turned this morning considering I'd been working on everything for the last 2 months at such a leisurely pace that nothing other than calluses on the pads of my fingers have resulted. But this morning, just like the weather, I changed. I was ready to get gritty and nitty and FINALLY get this done. I slathered a bagel with cream cheese (and no, not low fat either, 'cause I'm bad like that) and begrudgingly settled in to work. Now, granted, this evil was self-imposed but it has been no less painful. Why? I'm just not tech savvy. Sure, I can check emails, surf the web, and do a little blog stalking now and then, but when it comes to HTML...for me, it's more like "what the he**???" I really admire (truthfully, I do!)those of you that can do all of this alone, and I know that one day, with God's good grace and continued calluses, I will too. But for me, right now, it's the source of complete and total angst. But alas, here it is and just in time, under the new EXXXXXXTENDED deadline. Now, I think I'll have a much deserved drink.</span><span style="color:#666666;"> </p><br /></h2><blockquote><p align="center"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">As much as my ego would like to, I can't take credit for building the website, just entering the text, products, and shopping cart. Check it out and let me know what you think! And...if you <em>really</em> like the design and layout, send me a msg and I'll give you my designers contact info. She did a fab job, if I may say so myself!</span><br /><a href="http://www.greensimplicitydesigns.com/"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Visit my jewelry website </span></a></p><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 99px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 57px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5402957743072956690" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_wdJTlL9NOpE/SvspcPRPURI/AAAAAAAAAA4/zbho9ElMGdg/s200/P9180302.gif" /> <p align="left"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 79px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 62px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5402958282551230930" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_wdJTlL9NOpE/Svsp7o-4gdI/AAAAAAAAABA/m6KksGHqLL8/s200/P9260043.gif" /></p><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_wdJTlL9NOpE/SvsqukYtJMI/AAAAAAAAABI/xI2FGvnE0Mk/s1600-h/P9260018.gif"></a><br /><br /><p align="justify"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Last, but certainly not least, my Etsy store. Which, is the easiest to create and update, which basically means I was able to do it myself. I love Etsy! If you've never checked it out, please do. You're in for a treat. Everything is handmade and the selection of items is endless. Not only jewelry, but mittens, clothes, vintage items...really, a little bit of everything. It's like raiding your best friends closet. Which, I do all the time. And Amy, if you're reading this, no, you're not getting your shirt back.</span></p><p align="center"><a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/GreenSimplicity/"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Visit my Etsy Shop </span></a></span><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 43px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5402957148967816770" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_wdJTlL9NOpE/Svso5qDiTkI/AAAAAAAAAAw/PJW5F2KQ77E/s320/vanessa_etsy_banner.jpg" /><br /></span></p></blockquote><span style="color:#663300;"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;"></span></span><p align="justify"><span style="color:#663300;"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;"></p></span></span><p>So, here's to my first entry and head dive into the world of online.
