You've say you've lived in this house for four years, and know me better than this. Well, yes, you have, and you do. I can still remember the first day we met. My hairdresser put you in my hands and told me that you were the product I was waiting for http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/WhimsicalMe/~3/e5KECP6R2Ug/hair-product-breakup.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Whimsical Kelly)4<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/WhimsicalMe/~4/e5KECP6R2Ug" height="1" width="1"/>http://whimsybeading.blogspot.com/2011/10/hair-product-breakup.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4350067997080990139.post-4280634159263410479Tue, 04 Oct 2011 01:08:00 +00002011-10-04T09:46:22.503-04:00I'm posting the shop layaway terms here for easy reference as we head into the holidays. The layaway schedule is based on your total shop purchase amount, but does not include shipping costs. For example, if you have two items adding up to $45 in your cart and $5 shipping, it is not eligible for layaway. $1 - $49.00 - layaway is not available. $50 - $100 - maximum of two payments - 1/2 payment http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/WhimsicalMe/~3/KlSuN4zmA00/whimsy-beading-layaway-terms.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Whimsical Kelly)0<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/WhimsicalMe/~4/KlSuN4zmA00" height="1" width="1"/>http://whimsybeading.blogspot.com/2011/10/whimsy-beading-layaway-terms.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4350067997080990139.post-1241719721189788839Fri, 30 Sep 2011 19:26:00 +00002011-09-30T15:27:20.265-04:00You can't make everything perfectly every time. You can try your best, but we humans are messy, imperfect creatures, which is all part of our charm. Besides, if you never made a mistake, how would you learn?

So what do you do if you've sold an item to a customer and it http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/WhimsicalMe/~3/h0yzhbevBvU/every-problem-mr-higgins-is-opportunity.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Whimsical Kelly)0<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/WhimsicalMe/~4/h0yzhbevBvU" height="1" width="1"/>http://whimsybeading.blogspot.com/2011/09/every-problem-mr-higgins-is-opportunity.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4350067997080990139.post-1181266144667122909Fri, 30 Sep 2011 02:27:00 +00002011-09-29T22:27:30.811-04:00When you have a small business, you walk a fine line between business and personal every day. You want to be friendly and approachable to your customers, and you will often develop personal friendships with them, but there's a line between that person as your friend and that person as your customer. There is also a line between you as a person and you as a business owner, and you must be aware ofhttp://feedproxy.google.com/~r/WhimsicalMe/~3/kexYBODLUQU/its-not-personal-its-business.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Whimsical Kelly)3<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/WhimsicalMe/~4/kexYBODLUQU" height="1" width="1"/>http://whimsybeading.blogspot.com/2011/09/its-not-personal-its-business.html
