<p>You don&#8217;t know how hard these past 2 months have been on me.<br />I&#8217;ve had some exciting news to share that I had to keep to myself until today!!</p>
<p>Back in June, a Fashion Editor for a <a href="http://www.shojobeat.com/">teen magazine</a> notified me to ask if they could feature a pair of <a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=12601906">my earrings</a> in one of their upcoming magazines.</p>
<p><a class="highslide img_4" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_DEPuKIoxvxE/SFbeiFxyY7I/AAAAAAAACFA/ZXKsvexxdKE/s1600-h/obonfestival2.jpg" onclick="return hs.expand(this)"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_DEPuKIoxvxE/SFbeiFxyY7I/AAAAAAAACFA/ZXKsvexxdKE/s400/obonfestival2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5212598295975846834" border="0" /></a></p>
<p>After, regaining consciousness and picking myself up from off of the floor, I emailed her back and said, <span style="font-style: italic;">&#8220;Uh yeah, duh!&#8221;</span>.<br />Okay, I didn&#8217;t use those exact words. But I&#8217;m sure she could sense my delirium in my email.</p>
<p>I am a horrible, bundle of nerves! I have a gigantic fear that either no one will be interested enough to buy my earrings or on the Polar opposite side of the spectrum, hundreds of teenage girls will be stuffing my email inbox full of requests for a pair.</p>
<p>Either way, I am nervous. As hell. Ooh! Excuse me. I get like this when I&#8217;m nervous. And when I&#8217;m about to ralph all over the place!</p>
<p>If you make it to a Hastings or Comic Book store or Newstand, check out the issue. And see if it makes you as feverish and nauseous as me.</p>
<p>As for myself, I&#8217;m off to make up another 30 pairs of these earrings and enjoy an afternoon Pepto-bismol Cocktail.</p>
<p><span style="font-style: italic;">Belch</span>.</p>

<p>I was struck giddy, I tell you. I&#8217;m still feeling a bit woozy.<br />I whipped up her gauntlets yesterday and I&#8217;m mailing them off to her today.</p>
<p>I honestly didn&#8217;t expect this kind of response when I opened my shoppe.<br />I am so glad at the success I have had so far!</p>
<p>I still haven&#8217;t had a chance to make up the <a href="http://whiletheyplay.blogspot.com/2007/11/smooth-selling.html">coaster set</a> that sold out right away.<br />but I&#8217;ll get there!<br />my asian blanket didn&#8217;t get posted on etsy either and I STILL need to mail off Mrs.&#8217;s G&#8217;s owl tote and J.&#8217;s boobie prize. oh! and Sarah, your poster size print is still sitting on my sewing table!<br />*Ughhh*<br />I apologize to everyone who&#8217;s suffered second degree burns from being placed on the back burner. I am sure I will get better at prioritizing.<br />in time. (<span style="font-style: italic;">got some to spare, by the way?</span>)</p>
<p>the Custom order thing definitely kept me on my toes but I <span style="font-style: italic;">loved</span> doing it!<br />it makes it all the more sweeter knowing that what I made is going to be adored by it&#8217;s owner because she requested it personally and had it tailored to her own liking.<br />what a great feeling.</p>
<p>thanks so much to all of you for your kind and encouraging words of support. I am truly grateful for each and every one. I&#8217;d hug you, if I could. (for now, my monitor will have to suffice.)</p>
<p>have a happy Wednesday.     <img src='http://whiletheyplay.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
