Kalends of May!

Water Lily at Maymont in Richmond, Va ~ Aradia's Eye
So... this post is going up just in the nic of time!  But trust me, waiting all day for it it's going to be that much juicier because I have some last minute additions that just plain rock & roll!

Hint - I'm diving into the use of video so that should be an interesting little adventure!
So first off, kudos to me for a fantastic picture of a water lily at a local park I love to visit when I can!  I admittedly took the picture a few years ago at this point and in reality it was June, but that's close to May right?!  So let's dive right in ~ first off Merry Beltaine (BEY-al-TIN-ah ~ do pardon my incorrect pronunciation in the video below, I was working with a bit of misinformation!) to my lovelies who celebrate it with me!  To everyone who may not (ugh attack of the puns!) Happy May Day & Merry Kalends (the first of the month)!

I won't trouble you too much longer because I want you to go ahead and peep this interesting and super spazzy video I did as my "Day 1" for a "30 Day Video Challenge", then after you've had a chance to watch it I'll pick up where it leaves off and give you the rest of the deets as to what's shakin' hereabouts! :D  Enjoy! <3
So back to business my lovelies...  Like I touched on April was fill with a lot of unplanned happenings and a few setbacks.  For the most part it centered around me battling the onset of those lovely seasonal Spring allergies so many of us have.  For me it culminated with a horrendous burning of my eyes which made a lot of my work just near impossible to do (talk about a lesson in how much I use my eyes!)  Then I had my wee one deal with a bit of illness too so my productivity was took out to pasture a bit.

However, April wasn't a total flop - I have been able to keep on my new listing schedule about 50% of the time (which given the tendency of my walking monkey wrench to throw off my day - is saying a lot!).  As a trial run I found out some kinks here and what works and doesn't work and so I should be able to mitigate some of these issues this month for you guys for one!  ~ yay!  Aside from that is the news that we are moving come the end of May!  It was bound to happen but nothing was solidified so that made a big difference right there.

So what's to keep coming for May...?

* Continue moving the remainder of older blogposts to this platform (I didn't get to this at all in April but I mean to get a lot done this month!!!)
* Keep up with this month's blogging & features
* Back post a few features I have on my queue
* Plan out features for the next 6 months (If you'd like to help with this, I'd love your submission ideas!)
* List new items 3 times a week, I'm shooting for Monday, Wednesday, & Friday to start
* Finish all copywriting
* Work on my secret launch for the end of May...

With my illness issues I wasn't able to get to too many new products in April, but I can say that Saturdays are my jewelry-making days as I found myself (when I could) sitting and doing a lot of creating in that medium on that day.  Something else I want to add that isn't in my lil list up there is that I'm working on a seasonal product schedule.  This means I'll have more seasonally relevant goodies for you at appropriate times in both use, style, and color.

Again you see I'm ambitious...but I'd be boring if I wasn't, really.  Now it's time for me to skip off my dearies, I have some other fun change overs to get to that I'd love taken care of before the end of today.  Since it's the first of the month it's also newsletter day, then as it's sabbat I change out my featured images for the front of the store too and I want to do a little shop wide/business audit too! <3 to you till next post!

So let me know in the comments below...How was your April?  Have you been battling allergies to?  Do you have any fun or ambitious goings on for May?  And what do you think of this new video element I'm adding in?
