Happy Saturday Morning! Meet Mandee, artist and owner of Cloud Nine Designz. Beautiful jewelries, and a variety of them that you can find. Love it!
Tell us a bit about yourself and what arts/ crafts that you make?
My name is Mandee and I am 30. I love the art world. I started writing short stories and poems when I was younger. I had a poem published. I now paint and make jewelry.
Which part of creation process that you like to do the most?
I like looking at beads and having ideas pop up in my head. The light bulb going off is amazing. But really I just want to make things that people love. I feel that people should be told everyday they are loved. I want you to be able to wear my items and feel special. I want someone to be able to give a gift to someone to make someone's day.
Could you share on how your organize your products, we all can use a little tips here and there in this department?Most of my supplies are kept in bins. All separated by color/type.
What is your best seller?
My best seller is button bracelets for kids sports teams/sorority's. Also the dandelion wish earrings and my angel items.
How does your day go in general?
I wake up and go to the gym. Work on items, making them. Relisting, working on custom orders. Go to work 1 to midnight. Come home and work on orders a little more. Write to clear my head and sleep.
What is your goal for 2011? And are you on the right track?I want to learn how to organize all the legal and banking items. Anyone willing to teach me?
Any advice for others running their on-line shop?
Don't let anyone tell you you cannot succeed.
Saving money is important; tell us one thing that you do to save money?
I don't spend money on myself.
Anything else you'd like to share?A profit of my items goes to charity. I love giving back.
Stay-tuned for tomorrow's giveaway!
