I'm Bogged And Feeling Very ADD

The last few days I have been finding it very difficult to do one thing at once and this has been very counter productive. Since Zazzle has announced they are changing the way our products appear in the search I haven't been able to create, I have been going into my stores changing my titles, descriptions and tags and then "ooh look, somethings happening on Pinterest!" I jump on, look at my feed, see who's following me, follow them, see something beautiful and pin it, this seems simple enough but then I realize I have to add my source code and, since a lot of people don't add much else, I realize if it's going to get noticed, ever, I need to add a detailed description in a way in which the potential customer can imagine themselves having this product for themselves and that takes time. Then I worry that I'm not creating, then I think about how I need to make the products I already have in my shop more specific. So I have too much going on in my mind! I am trying to think "Right, pick ONE thing to do today and stick to it." So I want to create, and it has to have room for a picture and text, but first I have to see how other Zazzle people make both these things possible on their products, so I go and search for "1st Birthday", and personalize Valentines Day. Then I realize I still haven't done my square templates for my last design so I should put those up for sale before time runs out. The there's that whole, "Should I design or should I become and affiliate?" question roaming around in my mind.... So it has been a 1 step forward, 2 steps back kind of a week!

I think I just have a lot to do and don't know where to start. One thing at a time until I have got my shit together I think! Maybe I need to make a crazy ass, chaotic design to get it out of my system. So crazy, not even I will know what it is, I might leave it up to my potential customers to figure out lol!

So I leave you with a couple of my older products from my Zazzle store Allys Designs!

Addicted To Coffee

Image
I remember my first ever coffee. I was 13 and my parents had gone to church, I decided to stay home and clean the whole house instead of go to church, or as I fondly called it, the place where fun goes to die. The very fact that I willingly stayed home knowing I had to clean the house from top to toe while they were gone says it all. They were nice, those church people, but no kid my age wants to sing music from 1 year ago let alone 100, or sit and listen to someone talk about some jibber jabber I haven't had to worry about yet in my whole 13 years of existence, for an hour of my life I was never going to get back. I wasn't allowed to have coffee yet so I decided while my parents weren't home I was going to be naughty, boil the kettle and make one for myself to try so I treated the granulated coffee like chocolate powder - two teaspoons right? No, better make that three. My step dad liked one, but I was somehow sure I needed three. My step dad liked one sugar, but I was g

Spoonflower Vs Zazzle Fabric

Image
You may not know yet but I am super excited to let you all know that Zazzle is now selling FABRIC!!! I am super excited because about a year ago I was making pram liners, I often couldn't find what the customers requested in the local shops so I began thinking about designing my own fabric to make the liners with as well as selling them on eBay and Etsy, and being able to sell on the site would have been ideal as well. So off I went on a quest to find this magical place where I would be able to place my designs up for sale and buy as well as sell my fabric and make beautiful pram liners. I found Spoonflower, and it was the only place which did all these things which I needed. So I jumped on the band wagon made an account! I soon found it wasn't going to be easy to just place an image up for sale, there were a few hoops I had to jump through to get my designs up for sale. You can make a Spoonflower account - easy! You can upload an image and see it on the fabric - easy! You ca

Birthday Presents And Christmas Gifts For Your Best Friend

Image
I'm one of the lucky ones, I have a best friend. Not everyone gets one and psychologists say you should always aim to have a good group of friends, that having a best friend is not only rare, but highly romanticized and over rated, I can tell you that it is not. I have a gorgeous group of friends and they are wonderful, we connect, we laugh, we can be honest with each other about all sorts of things, good and bad, we have a lot of fun and I know I can call or text them on a bad day and they know they can do the same. But my Bestie and I have something completely different going on, there is just something really comfortable and familiar about her, we have the same sense of humor, we have the same ethics and morals, it's like we live in the same bubble and I personally believe she is one of the most selfless and giving of all people, I have a lot of respect for her and how she lives her life. First of all, she is a support worker for people who have disabilities such as Asperg
