Holiday Sale Starts Now!!

It's that time of the year again - time for holiday sale!! Enjoy 15% off your total order from now until Nov 30th by using the coupon code HOLIDAY13 during checkout. Please shop early (especially if you want a custom item) to ensure that the item will arrive to you in time. Shipping cut off date is Nov 30th as well. Since I am an international seller, shipping usually takes a little longer unfortunately.

I have tons of new items (that I had been working on relentlessly since the blog went quiet haha) that I need to list into the shop!! So expect old and new surprises! :) And hopefully more updates in the near future.

San Francisco here I come!

Yep, the time has come, time for me to see San Francisco again! My flight leaves tomorrow, I'm so excited to get there! So my shop is on vacation mode now. It's still open, and you can still buy from it, but orders will only be shipped when I get back. As compensation though, use the coupon code YAYSF during check out, and you will get 15% off your entire order. Not too bad a deal eh? This offer is only available for Skyejuice, the jewelry shop though, not StarJuice, the supply shop.

Holiday Sale Starts Now!

Yup that's right! The holiday sale had officially begun! As per the poster above, you can now enjoy 15% off your total order from now until November 30th by using the coupon code HOLIDAY12 during checkout. :) Please shop early (especially if you want a custom item) to ensure that the item will arrive to you in time. Shipping cut off date is November 30th as well. Since I am an international seller, shipping usually takes a little longer.

I will be listing new items as well as relisting some old ones over the next few days. So expect more news for this exciting holiday soon!

Gift Certificate and Black Friday Sale!

Extremely sorry for missing a few day's post there, it's just that the closer it is to Thanksgiving and the looming Black Friday, the busier I get! Although we don't really celebrate Thanksgiving over here, I still have a few family gatherings in the weekend, large orders to finish and even have to arrange some faulty supplies to be sent back to the supplier among other things.

That aside, I'm happy to announce that Skyejuice gift certificates are finally available in the shop!

I understand that sometimes it is just so difficult to pick a gift for your loved one. The troubling thoughts of "Would they like it?", "Would they use it?" and "Is it their favorite color?" passes through one's mind when you're shopping. At least... that was my problem with my dad... he's one difficult dude to shop for. If you're facing these problems, not to worry. As this Christmas you can let THEM choose their perfect gift by gifting them a gift certificate! :D Awesome right?

Also, from now until Nov 30th, I'll be upgrading the current holiday sale to the Black Friday sale with 20% discount off your total order! Please use the new coupon code SALE2011 during check out. It don't get better than this :D Please note that my shipping cut off date is Dec 1st. Means that is the last day for me to ship things out. And for obvious reasons, made to order items like bracelets ordered on that day itself will not be shipped on that day itself. If you want to order a bracelet, please order early so I'll have time to make them!

November Giveaway and Sale!

To thank everyone for the support, I am running a new giveaway on Etsy Stalker! :) Not for a comment contest or whatever since I won last month, so I'm not eligible for this month's contest. It is just for fun! A $30 gift voucher is up for grabs! :D Unfortunately though, the ending date is Dec 9th, which is well off my shipping cut off date for the holiday season. So if you want to grab some stuff from my shop as gifts, please do so before the shipping cut off date which is Dec 1st!

Gentle reminder that I am running a sale in my Etsy shop Skyejuice as well. Use the coupon code HOLIDAY11 during checkout to enjoy 15% off your total order. :)

Holiday Sale Starts Now!

It's mid October! And it's SALE time! :D Us international sellers on Etsy need to start early since we have an early shipping cut off date. Use the coupon code HOLIDAY11 during checkout and get 15% off your total order! I will be listing tons of new items over the next few days, even weeks if I am allowed to. Lots of new pendants. So watch out for it, or you could follow me on Facebook too for more frequent and faster updates. :) Shipping cut off date for all Holiday orders is December 1st, 2011. So plan ahead and make your order before then!

November passed by in a flash, and before you know it, it's December! The dreaded month. (for me anyway! Eeek!) One of the reason November passed by in a flash is because I was so freaking busy and nearly stressed myself out in the process. But all is good, I am dirt poor now but still running like usual :D

So let's see how I did last month! Here are the goals I set for November.

1. Get to 95 sales.

2. Get to 400 shop hearts.

3. Fill the shop to 160 items.

In which I achieved...

1. 97 sales!!! Yippeeeee!!! I know it doesn't seem a lot, but it's the month with the highest amount of sales I had. *sheds a tear of happiness*

2. 370 shop hearts. Did not achieve, but not bad at all :D

3. 171 items. Still remaining strong here!

I just noticed that I have the number '7' in all of my stats, lol. My lucky number? But all in all, I think November is not a bad month at all. :) Let's hope this keeps up! So for this month, these are my goals:

1. Get to 110 sales.

2. Get to 450 shop hearts.

3. Fill the shop to 185 items.

Not too ambitious, just trying to be realistic. :) Besides, the shipping deadline had already passed for my shop for the holiday shipment. But I am still running a 10% discount sale during the entire month of December to celebrate the wonderful season of giving!

Just remember that shipping deadline is over and that you might not get your purchase in time for Christmas. :) Happy holidays!

First of all, before I begin... Happy Halloween to those that celebrate it! :D I'm going to just sit and home and continue to work as it will be busy times ahead. November is just right around the corner, and to be honest, I am slightly anxious to see what's to come during this month. I sure hope I am well prepared, lol.

Here are the goals I set for October, let's see how I did. :)

1. Get to 75 sales.

2. Get to 400 shop hearts.

3. Fill the shop to 140 items.

In which I achieved...

1. 72 sales. (did not hit the mark, but it's still not too bad :D )

2. 306 hearts. (LOL, a bit hopeless here)

3. 157 items!! (overshot my expectations woohoo!)

I think I didn't do too bad. :) It's a productive month, and I'm liking the progress. So for next month, here are my goals.

1. Get to 95 sales. (watch me crash and burn lol)

2. Get to 400 shop hearts.

3. Fill the shop to 160 items.

I'm keeping #3 more reasonable, because I need to factor in the items sold as well. And I feel a bit ambitious with my sales target this month as I have a few great things planned. Which is...

SALE - Yes, from November 1st - November 30th, I will be running a store-wide 20% discount holiday sale!! (except for the destash section, I need to get back the amount I paid for, for that roll of sterling silver wire!)

GIVEAWAY - Something big is in the works for this month's giveaway. Everything is still in planning right now, so chances are it wouldn't start in the beginning of the month. But it will definitely happen sometime next month.

SHIPPING DEADLINE - To ensure that your gift arrive on time, I had set the shipping deadline for Skyejuice to November 30th. Shipping during the entire period of December had been known to be delayed for an unknown amount of time. Last year I bought something in the first week of December and it only arrived a month later. (good thing it wasn't a Christmas gift) So start shopping earlier!!

Week Of Necklaces

Finally, it happened!! The week of necklaces :D I got a pretty good response for the necklaces in the giveaway, so I thought I should boost that section for a bit. :)

Title : Rustic Charm

Price : USD22.00

Title : Blue Lagoon

Title : Vanilla Creme

Price : USD22.00

Title : Tropical Seduction

Price : USD22.00

Title : Red Red Wine

So which one is your favorite?

I'm quite happy with the brown ones. Might make a few more next week but I need to make some new bracelets too lol. Also getting new camera later this week, can't wait! :)

Etsy On Sale doesn't seem to be working, what a disappointment. The status had been stuck on "Starting Sale..." for nearly 24 hours now. I think I will go the traditional way and perform the partial refund for the 10% discount clearance sale. So just buy something, anything from the "Sales" section and 10% will be refunded. :)

October Giveaway WINNER!!

The giveaway was a blast! Thank you to everyone who entered and followed my blog/liked me on Facebook. I really appreciate it all! However, there can only be one winner... and they are...

I had already sent you an e-mail, if by any chance you did not receive it, please shoot me one within 48 hours. If the winner does not respond within 48 hours, a new winner will be picked.

Once again, thank you everyone who entered! :)

And to continue on the series of events specially for the Holiday season, with the ending of the giveaway I had started a 10% DISCOUNT CLEARANCE SALE in my shop. Please head on to the Sale section in my shop to see what is currently for sale. I am using the Etsy On Sale app for this sale, just a test run to figure out the kinks and stuff, so please give it a few hours for the marked down prices to show up.

So what are you waiting for? Better start your holiday shopping now, don't wait for the rush to begin and things started to run out of stock!
