New Charm Labels!

It's been forever since I've posted, much too long, but I've been really busy. I've got a few new things up my sleeve that I want to show everyone as soon as I get a chance to make them, buuutttt for now, I'll show you the new way I have to label charms.

I've been thinking about labeling stuff for a long time, jewelry items and what not. Through Storenvy, I can give each item a "SKU" (Stock Keeping Unit) which I hadn't bothered with, but if I gave each item one like "NK34" for a necklace or "ER13" for a pair of earrings. I've realized it is a pain in the butt to come up with names for items! Which is why most of mine are boring haha. I have this thing with organizing, so I try to make the name descriptive, which makes them boring, and long... But, if I give items just a SKU, then it doesn't matter! If it's something I'll be remaking, then I can name it, too. But if it's a one time piece, a SKU would be easier.

Also, in getting ready for the Convention, I needed an easy way for people to tell me exactly what charms they want on their items. So, I started labeling them like I was thinking of doing with items. Some have just general charm SKUs, but a lot are grouped by theme so the numbers don't get huge. Like, the firefighter charms are CFF then the number, and the Air Force charms are CAF then the number. The numbers don't all go in numerical order across the pictures, because some charms come in each military branch but I just don't have it in each branch.

These are what the pictures look like now:







I think it will be much easier this way!
