addy change and more

So as you might have noticed our web addy has changed from http://betwixtbaubles.blogspot.ca to our current http://bonbonbaubles.blogspot.ca . Sorry for any confusion in my spur of the moment decision! I've got a new brand and I want to be able to use this as the company blog for both. It's way more work in changing links than I'd like to do but I think in the end it's going to work out the best. So please update your bookmarks and I promise to give you more notice if I should ever decide to swap around things on you again.

So, this new brand is Bon Bon Betties and it has a web home though it is a work in progress right now, but the links are working. It has a Facebook page (which needs 25 likes so I can get rid of the numbers and name it properly).  It has a Google+ page,  a Twitter and an Instagram (or @BonBonBetties). There are 3 web shops set up (Etsy,Storenvy & Zibbet) but currently only the Etsy is stocked and I suspect unless I just copy listing across all of 'em, that'll be the way it stays for now. 

I will update links here and well everywhere, it's just going to take me some time as it's me and only me doing it all. And no changes to Betwixt Baubles, all shops and fan pages are staying as is. I am in the process of moving all the stock from Betwixt Baubles Storenvy to Bon Bon Betties Etsy but that is the only change, the store will stay but empty for now. Betwixt Baubles is your witchy OOAK gothic shop and Bon Bon Betties is what happens if faux food, Bettie Page, cartoons & tattoos had a quirky kid. I hope you'll all enjoy the new brand and all it has to offer, I promise I'm working hard on getting it all set up and running. I'm now crowning myself the official low end Kimora Lee with all my web spots and 2 brands to design and create for LOL. Love you miss Kimora but I might have been too inspired!!

So with that, I'm going to go try to remember where I left off and get back to setting it all up for ya.

au revoir

September news

Hello lovelies! 

I haven't forgotten you I promise. See in the middle of reorganizing my back injury flared up and I've been unable to do anything at all. It's been a huge bummer because I've got so so so many ideas that need to get created and out to you! I'm starting to be able to sit again so here's hoping I'm baby stepping on my way to getting the workspace cleared up and some beauties out to be available to you. 

au revoir

Crafty Hauls

So my dears, in between reorging and rearranging my workspace I've taken a couple craft hauls for some basic materials. Most will never get used for or how they were intended LOL but, thought I'd give you a glimpse. 



The workspace chaos has 2 more containers to go!!! Then I can begin to shift into kick arse mode LOL. I'm so beyond excited to get the things out of my mind and sketch books to you guys.

Mess making :)

It's been busy here. I finally decided to get the stuff out of my closet! And rearrange my workspace!! It's still a work in progress though at least I have an idea where it's going LOL. 
I decided in going with my witchy ways, I would bring back OOAK dolls. So look forward to a few fairies, mermaids, goddesses, seasonal and ice queens soon to come. 
And I've a few other secrets up my sleeve ;)  But for now I'm off to get a bit of sleep. Be kind to yourself and each other. 

au revoir

Carpe Diem

Please never forget you are loved no matter how dark your days get, no matter how little you feel. Please don't forget washing your hair is a victorious step and that mistake will pass. Take courage in naming and claiming and pride in every struggle. Know that someone, somewhere loves you and will miss you terribly. 

Oh captain, my captain let us take courage from your loss.

Monday Mornings

Oh there are reasons why Monday gets the reputation it has. It's not really it's fault, I know. It has more to do with the fact there's been a break of a couple days for stuff to change or build up, but it's just so rude to have to wake up to it all.

So this morning I realized I still didn't get the new rune set listed. As I half awake log on to zibbet ... well I can't. Ok they updated so let's play the game and make a new password. K, problem solved. I begin updating my profile, bonus extra LOL. Now to list... Photos load sideways, a usual quirk but ug not awake enough. Easily fixed though and list... List! List??? I need to upgrade to a monthly to have more than 10 items! And to have more than 1 photo too!!!!! I'm not sure how I feel about this. What I do know, is Monday morning was the perfect timing :) 

Off to sip my coffee and sort this out.

au revoir

Kisses

Kisses

for #InternationalLipstickDay 

Almost forgot to post LOL. This is pink velvet lipstick Love and Beauty brand from Forever21. Inexpensive and wears well :) 

Peeeeeeeking

Sneak peek time!!! They don't go together though the treasure for the hand painted box is similar to the bottom items. And no, the pretty side of the faux jade isn't showing...it's only a peek silly ;)

catching up...

Hello my lovelies!
So it's a little longer than I'd intended but look for changes to start happening in the shops. I'm going to be making use of almost every shop (with the exception of dewanda right now). So here's the cheat sheet, though I hope you'll all enjoy the adventure of each shop and its own personality....
Etsy is the higher end / OOAK items
Storenvy is is quirky / fun stop
Zibbet will be the witch / pagan place
Studio6 will be print / graphic items
Big Cartel is going to be my dolls.
It's adventure time and I can't wait to begin the journey with you all.

au revoir

Changes

So as you might have noticed dear followers, there are big changes. There are more on the way!

I've decided to revamp and relaunch as Betwixt Baubles and delete MsNovemberTuesday. It was prompted by a friend who said "you know it's funny that I don't see you in the search engines and when I do it's associated with someone I know isn't you". I called them out on it as I've never had an issue finding my creations by searching any search engine and proceeded to prove them wrong. It was me who was mistaken. Long story short, its been a long afternoon that's ended up here in the wee hours of the morning with the transition well on its way. All traces of MsNovemberTuesday will soon disappear, as far as it's related to me and my creations. It's required a new Google profile and page and who knows what else by the time it's done.
Please use the links at the right side of the blog for the current and updated sites and shops. I'll change them as I update everything. I'm sorry for any confusion and grateful to have the company as I embark on this journey.

au revoir

Happy Days

Well happy St. Paddy's Day anyways ;) 

I've been thinking as I proof the photos about the best solution to my diverse collection of creations. I'm thinking splitting them up into different categories in different shops is likely the best plan. On the plus side it will give me something in basically every online shop though some will be stocked will be more than others just based on amount of existing product. On the negative it will take away the chance that someone finds an item they weren't looking for and won't me find because they don't want to be jumping from shop to shop. I think that the opportunity to have diverse stock in each shop and get the opportunity I'd been missing because it all was jumbled into one outweighs it and also gives me an opportunity to see what y'all like in product and shop. Guess we'll see! So keep your eyes open in my various shops  for changes, updates, products on the move and a new item or two sneaking in the mix.

I hope the wee folk and fairies find you and bless your St. Paddy's Day!

oy....the confusion or how did I get here

Tasks not to be attempted without coffee! (Okay with as little coffee as I've had.)

I'm looking at my http://msnovembertuesday.storenvy.com and frankly, it's a mess. I love the diversity of items I come up with but I'm feeling like it's killing the brand. My heart doesn't want to have to choose and frankly I don't want to lock out a source of income. It's 6 of one and half a dozen of the other as far as how to handle it and I've not had nearly enough coffee to sort this one out. It's nice to have the jumble because someone might come in looking for one thing and find something totally unexpected but it could also be off-putting to others wondering what the heck they've stumbled into, and why should they take the higher end items seriously.

Do I separate things into different shops (ie: msnovembertuesday on storenvy is quirky, msnovembertuesday on zibbet is elegant, msnovembertuesday on etsy is witchy, and etc..). Or do I come up with different shop names for the different categories (ie: msnovembertuesday, and then 2 new names).

I'm left debating things as I type this.

au revoir
