On Jun 30, 2009 at 12:42 pm #
Jeannes Gems - Gem Chick says:How can mom get upset if your selling things? At least this is one habit that can pay for itself (at least that’s what I’ve convinced myself LOL)
On Jun 30, 2009 at 12:45 pm #
Anita QoG Funny Chick says:Gem, you’ve got that right!!! BTW; how did your first show go? People have’nt been buying much, with the economy the way it is!!!! I hope you did well!!!
On Jun 30, 2009 at 12:45 pm #
Luv2bead - Little Chick says:That’s what I was wondering!!!!! LOL
Maybe if I do really good at the Open House in July I’ll be able to spend double the normal!!! (plus I’d have to make more jewelry for the next show).
Mom & dad are very careful about spending money so maybe they want me to be too (I’m pretty careful, except when there’s a bead sale (such as a “moving” sale that should be coming up soon)…lol)
On Jun 30, 2009 at 12:49 pm #
Anita QoG Funny Chick says:Little Chick, I’m really great with money too, EXCEPT BEADS also!!!LOL…………. I even taken to buying my clothes at GOOD WILL & THRIFT shops!!! lol, It’s funny how people waste their money on clothes, I’ve bought several things with there tags still on them, never having been worn!! Or from really exspensive stores!!
On Jun 30, 2009 at 12:52 pm #
Luv2bead - Little Chick says:lol
I usually don’t like to spend my money (except with beads I don’t really have a problem). I do love to go shopping for clothes when it’s on grandma or mom!
On Jun 30, 2009 at 12:56 pm #
Jeannes Gems - Gem Chick says:anita – check out my two picks – rain on my parade and silver lining. gotta run into town with Sam now – bank, grocery store, etc. I’ll catch up with ya later.

On Jun 30, 2009 at 12:56 pm #
Anita QoG Funny Chick says:Well, I’ve been on my own for alittle while now!!! lol…………..like about 34 years!!! But, with the kids gone I could spend alot on clothes, but, it really does’nt thrill mw all that much!! I always look good (at least I think so) lol…. Sometimes I spend alot on shoes, I need good leather shoes!!!

On Jun 30, 2009 at 5:39 pm #
Dizzy Chick Lori Z says:Ahhhh, I am enjoying the convo here! I’d like to come on this vacation too, if there’s enough room! I’ll bring chocolate too – we just stopped at a Russell Stover’s outlet store on the way home!
Little Chick, I had my husband read your comments about your mom thinking you’re spending too much on beads! He got a chuckle from that! Then I had him read Funny Chick’s order, and he asked if that was me. I WISH!
On Jun 30, 2009 at 5:41 pm #
Luv2bead - Little Chick says:LOL
On Jun 30, 2009 at 5:43 pm #
Dizzy Chick Lori Z says:Jeanne, you’re absolutely right about Little Chick, at least she’s selling!! (but don’t argue with your mom yet, Little Chick – we don’t want her thinking we’re a bad influence)
I rationalize my compulsive buying too, thinking that …someday… I’ll start selling enough to break even. (fat chance!)
On Jun 30, 2009 at 5:47 pm #
Luv2bead - Little Chick says:Yep! I don’t think I’m going to argue because she’s pretty good about letting me spend (as long as I have the money…I can’t borrow).
On Jun 30, 2009 at 5:51 pm #
Anita QoG Funny Chick says:NOW Dizzy Chick, whats wrong with my order??? lol…………… The beads I sell at the store, as well as the jewelry pay for my addiction,(at least so far) I wait til I can put a large order in!!! That makes it more fun when they come!! I like big packages!!!lol…………..
On Jun 30, 2009 at 6:03 pm #
Dizzy Chick Lori Z says:Oh, nothing wrong with your order, I’m just envious of ALL you got to order! My orders usually just break the $40 mark, unless there’s something REALLY special happening, like @ Christmas, or the recent bonus – beads for spending a certain $$ ammt.
I’m also envious of your shop! But I’m no business person, so a setup like that wouldn’t work for me! If I only had some discipline…
On Jun 30, 2009 at 6:07 pm #
Dizzy Chick Lori Z says:Little Chick, your folks are doing you a favor! My parents never paid interest unless they had to, but somehow the message never got passed to me. It wasn’t till I married that it sunk in that paying to borrow money was foolish. It was an adjustment for me, and still my impulsive/compulsive nature takes hold & gets me in trouble.
On Jun 30, 2009 at 7:19 pm #
Lynn Eileen Chicky LE says:Very pretty pick, Funny Chick! Sign me up for this retreat — I’ll bring more chocolate — beaders can never have too much!!! LOL
Beads or chocolate, that it!!!
