Trying to keep up!

Well I hope everyone's holiday season is going well. I am disappointed that I haven't been able to keep updating this blog as often as I would like to. I'm sure that after this December I'll have more time to update. I graduate with my associate's degree in business management this Thursday. So that's exciting and will free up some time. Unfortunately that's also when the school loan bills start coming in as well. If I don't update again before Christmas, "Merry Christmas to all and have a happy New Year!!!"

We miss you Dad....

One year ago our Dad, Francis Ariong Apoo, left the village to go pick up his retirement stipend in another city. The city was having a lot of tribal conflict and we got word that you had been attacked in the night, you were separated from your partner and never returned.  We hoped for the best and feared the worst.  We prayed for your return so we could celebrate Christmas together, ring in the New Year, and be there for our wedding. We miss you so much. You played a huge part in our lives and you will always be in our hearts.  

Remembering Francis Ariong Apoo

Beads Beads Beads!

Originally my plan for this business was for someone to create an eCommerce website to sell the jewelry, but funds ran short and I decided to just sell the products on Etsy. I'm hoping to increase traffic. One problem I ran into on a site called Pinterest, I can't find my shop when I put the words into the search field. Hoping I can figure that out soon. I want to get more pictures of different things up on Etsy, but I didn't realize how time consuming it is setting up the photos, loading, editing, and uploading.
