Thanks crypsynight. It's disheartening when you have a whole day's listings go unsold. I have been getting good feedback for the items that do sell, so it was weird that all of a sudden they weren't even being looked at anymore. Maybe you are right and eBay are messing around with search results.

I'll see how we go with your prediction (or Mastercards' anyway) for the 1st of December.

At least crystal beads don't take up much room and won't go off in a hurry. But I am going to try my hand at one lamp shade at least. I reckon they would create some brilliant light effects in the kids bedrooms.

Worst thing is that I'll have to find another way to justify my crystal bead spending. I've already started my next wishlist....
