	I own my own business, Carta Etc, which is not 'live' yet (no website), in which I sell paper crafts and jewelry. It will go live in May. I've sold at craft fairs and things like that. Well, Carta Etc is going to be a promotional item to be given out at this year's MTV Movie Awards Style Lounge! :D:D:D:D You can read about it here. It's done through The Sampler, but I got accepted! I am so excited! I will be doing 200 bracelets. Im going to have a party in May to celebrate and to 'annouce' my business, with like.. cake and balloons. Any reason I can get to have cake and ballons will do. Here is an example of a bracelet: And for the weird news.. A C-5 crashed not 2 miles from my house, article here. The joys of living next to an air base! Thankfully everyone survived.

	=o Won't it be exciting to open up a magazine and see like, Lindsay Lohan wearing your bracelet? You're gonna be famous!

Andrea	04th April 2006 - 02:47 pm
	That's so cool Katy. :D I hope it becomes even better from there!!

	Quote Seven =o Won't it be exciting to open up a magazine and see like, Lindsay Lohan wearing your bracelet? You're gonna be famous! Im hoping for something like that! Wire Image is going to be there to do photos. There is no promise that my samples will be photographed with celebrities, but Im hoping that my bracelets will either end up in a photo from Wire Image, or that it will be featured in a magazine, since the bags are also being given to magazine editors. Thank you so much everyone! I've been ordering lots of supplies today. Yea Matt the crash was super scary. It was so weird to see it on the front page of Cnn.com. Here is another photo: I can see it when I drive to and from Dover/work.

	OOoooh! How EXCITING!!! Don't forget to mention all us lovely people at www.vexels.net when you get famous mmmk. lol That is seriously kool though! That plane crash is scary :x I was driving to work one day and there was an air show being put on, well as I was driving like a couple miles from it I just saw one of the planes blow up and fall :( I thought I was almost seeing things, but yea...

AcidDoll	04th April 2006 - 08:27 pm
	Wow, congratulations !! That's really exciting :D When you get famous and millionaire I'll be able to say "I once talked with her trough the internet" :P And yeah, the plane crash is very scary. Once my grandma's house appeared on the cover of a newspaper, because there was a sniper close to her house, on a building. It has nothing to do with a plane, but it's the most scary thing related to the newspapers that ever happened to me :P

Haley	04th April 2006 - 08:35 pm
	Congratulations! Most people''s businesses don't take off, ever. Yours is off before it's even public. Great job! I'm sure we're all proud of having our own jewelry designer right here. =D "We're putting together at least 185 gift boxes for the event to be passed out to magazine editors, celebrities, stylists, shop owners, members of the media... lots of people!" So you'll have celebrities and all wearing your creations? That's seriously awesome.

Linda	04th April 2006 - 11:08 pm
	That's soooo awesome congratulations!! I know you said that's a bracelet but it would make an incredible necklace too :o I saw that crash on the news it looks so scary :|

Chloe	04th April 2006 - 11:30 pm
	OMG CONGRATS!!! =) Those bracelets are soo awesome.. about how long does it take to make each one? (or at least the one that you showed?)

Carina	04th April 2006 - 11:51 pm
	Ooooh that bracelet's amazing. I remember you posting a link to some pictures of the jewelry you make and I was amazed. Where can I order? Now I have money ;).

Carina	04th April 2006 - 11:52 pm
	Oooh I showed my mom the bracelet and she was like, 'Wow, oh my god where'd you get that?' :D

artisticdork	05th April 2006 - 01:02 am
	oh wow thats awesome! congrats... now you can look at us stuck here at uarts and laugh, lol.

Raelynn	05th April 2006 - 04:06 am
	Wow thank you so much guys! If you're interested in getting a braclet before my website goes up in May, I will be adding some to my Etsy shop, and I will definately keep you updated. That is so cool Carina! I get all warm when people like my jewelry. Haley - I would die if there is like, a photo of Paris Hilton or someone wearing a bracelet of mine. And then there would be no more business because I would be dead :D The bracelets take about an hour, more or less. So I can do about 5-6 a day. One day I think I made 10 when I had a craftshow coming up. Im going to start making them tomorrow. I just ordered all my jewelry boxes too. I get these kraft-colored ones, and then I have a rubber stamp of my logo, to stamp on the box (much cheaper then getting them printed on professionally). I will upload my logo soon so ya'll can see it :)

Raelynn	05th April 2006 - 04:08 am
	Quote artisticdork oh wow thats awesome! congrats... now you can look at us stuck here at uarts and laugh, lol. All my roomies graduate next year, I might come up and see the graduation :) Now that it's warmer, I should be up at a first friday soon!

Annette07	05th April 2006 - 04:52 am
	Ahh that's great Katy =D I want one of those bracelets. Sooo pretty and shiny ^_^ And woah about that crash =/ That's one of my fears.. is being near a plane crash >_<

Carina	05th April 2006 - 11:25 am
	What's the url of your etsy shop? I seriously need to buy one of your bracelets. Or two. One for myself and one for my mom :D. Oh, and one for one of my friends. *Says good bye to Christmas money*

Raelynn	05th April 2006 - 12:21 pm
	This is the one right now: http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=7180 I only have one bracelet in there, but I plan on updating it this week if you would like to wait. I did a craft show in December and I have a bunch left-over, and I want to change the clasps, to be those kind where they fit any wrist size. And I'll give you a discount since you're so cool ;)

Carina	05th April 2006 - 12:52 pm
	Oooh thanks Katy :D. I've decided to buy two (One now, and another when I find out what my friend likes). Yay, international shipping! I'm thinking of buying the 'Stretch Owl Beaded Bracelet' or the 'Stretch Wood and Pink Bracelet' for myself. I'll probably by one of them first and if it arrives 'safely' and soon, I'll buy the other :D. I have to register, but I'm not 18+. My mom'll give me permission, I'm sure. It's been a while sicne I've bought myself something cute and pretty :D.

Raelynn	05th April 2006 - 12:56 pm
	Yay for sales! Thanks Carina :D

Carina	05th April 2006 - 01:17 pm
	^Hey, for some reason it's telling me to use a credit card in paypal. I have money in my paypal, but not a credit card. Can I just send you the money to your paypal email? (What is it?)

Raelynn	05th April 2006 - 01:59 pm
