I feel very good about it. I've been rearranging my store all afternoon and evening to make things more organized. Here's the design that won.


Now I hope it translates into some sales. Here's the link to my store if anyone wants to check it out.

Awesome! Congrats on the Today's Best Award. Do you get notified if that happens? Do you get anything special to show off in your store?

I was also a little worried about ya today. Went to go visit your store and it wasn't there all this other stuff was in it's place and I'm like Wha??? Then you were missing from the list of clubs I joined (but I got confused and thought I was gone from your club) so I thought you got mad at me and left. But it's all back now so I freaked out and worried for nothing.

Sorry to make you worry. I just made the store private while I was reorganizing it. I read that it was better to list your items by subject than by type of product. So I had a job redoing everything. Hope it is better now.

I got an email notice that I had a comment on that item. I just happened to go look at it and there was a little symbol underneath that said TBA. Apparently they put those products on a page for the day linked from the main page. I didn't get any sales but I did get a few views and a good rating so that might help put me up in the searches.

Congratulations Linda on your TBA.

And yeah, Anita PM'd me to ask if I could see your Zazzle store, she was going frantic thinking you were mad at her for some reason, that she'd upset you. She thought you'd taken her out of your fan club heehee.

I thought it was a zazzle glitch with your store, now we all know it was you that switched it off.

I was going to notify you that something was wrong if it wasn't back up today.

Thanks guys for your concern. I didn't know I'd be missed so much. Don't worry, I never get mad enough at anybody to shun them. :-)

That's what I told Anita. You weren't the sort of person to get mad at anyone. Poor girl, she was soooo distressed.

I'm naturally nosy and want to know what Anita did which made her think Linda would be mad at her. There has to have been something. I know what she's like ;)

Somebody fill me in. I HAVE TO KNOW!

Poor 'ol Anita just didn't know what she had done or said wrong, in fact absolutely nothing as we all know now.

All she could see was that she was taken down as a fan of Linda's store!!!

Anita will probably reply in this thread when she's up, awake, and about - but not till after she's had her caffeine fix via morning coffee.

I have a hard time remembering peoples real names and thought that was the cause of it nothing tremendously naughty or worse than that.

Heck I didn't even know you could make your store private and yeah Zazzle's a little glitchy. Images will upload but take like 10 minutes if that to show up as uploaded.

Yeah, that problem with the image upload lag was driving me crazy yesterday, especially if I decided to edit an image and upload it again. Then I had to wait for it to appear before I could work with it.

I hope my store is now organized properly. I would not enjoy having to change it all again.

And as for not remembering my real name, no problem. My parents never called me by my real full name. I only ever had one aunt who used it. I've always been Linda to friends and family, but I am forever trying to explain to new acquaintances that my first name is Mary but I've never been called that. I pretty much answer to anything anyway.

Ya wanna hear something silly? I remembered your name yesterday when I was filling up my a/c swamp cooler thingy. My brain works weird like that sometimes.

Having a TBA gets you out there and up in the search. May you have many more you create get that award :)

That is odd. I could understand that if I'd mentioned how hot it has been here lately. 104ºF yesterday. Just had a storm now so cooled off some, but it is supposed to be 100º again tomorrow with high humidity and dangerous heat indices. This is the first rain we've had in a while. The grass was starting to get crunchy.

*blah*

We haven't hit 100 here yet but I have a feeling we'll get that in August. It just needs to rain everywhere that's extremely hot. We need something like 2 weeks to rain really good at least once a day for those 2 weeks and get out of the drought pattern. It's not healthy for anyone. We've had at least a week if not 2 where the temps were either at 90 or above.

I need to figure out a new store name or something. I'll have to sit with my notebook and figure one out. Then I need to make some new category icons the default grey ones are so booooring.

Yes I know I've had some coffee and I'm still rambling LOL
