DON'T YOU JUST HATE LEARNING CURVES??

SUNSHINE MAKES AN OOPSIE!!

As we reported yesterday, we made our first sale from our
online store!! We were soooo excited! What we didn't understand {and I should point out that, when I say 'we', I mean ME} was that on the Etsy Store we had failed to list an amount more than one for each item we listed...so when we had our terrific first sales...that meant those two items were OUT OF STOCK!! HORROR!! So we {{OK me}} toddled off and had a wonderful day basking in the wonder and beauty of knowing people liked our images enough to pay for them....only to come home last evening to a frantic phone call from my sister-in-law(Chrissy) saying that one of our Sunshine's Stampers had been contacted by an interested shopper who was trying to purchase from our store! She was being told that the item was OUT OF STOCK!!! Holy Catfish Batman!! Into Etsy we fly!! Where is that inventory number?? Dang it!! Where is that pesky little bit of important info??!! Oh! there it is!! We immediately changed the inventory number to 50 for all 12 items!! Phew! Problem solved!!! WRONG!!! 12 X 50 = 600X .20=$120.00 just for listing the items!!! YIKES!!! Into Etsy again!!! Changed the inventory to 10 for each item!! Holy smokers Robin!! Our "Overhead" needs to be managed!!! All is right with the world now...well kinda...we didn't make the sale because of our {{{OK! OK! MY}}} phoopa!! ***Sigh*** Bear with us folks...we are learning {OK I am learning} as we go along!! If you happen to be the shopper who tried and failed to purchase from our online store, we apologize for your frustration! We thank you for your interest!! If you want to send us an e-mail or leave us a comment we will send you one of our current new images at no cost to you, as an apology for my oopsie and a thank you for your interest in our images. Thanks for stopping by!!
