I've Met My Goal

I have been wanting to get the item number in my shop to 75 for several months now, and just today, I finally got there! I do have several cards ready to expire, so it won't be there for long, but a goal made, is a goal made. I think that having more than this is almost impossible currently, (unless things go really South for me and nothing ever sells.) It's not easy to continue to make that amount of cards all the time!

I do have a string of boy cards that I just got done with, so maybe I can keep the number up there. What I am really hoping for is a couple of sales to make that number disappear!

I'm not sure if any one has noticed the linkreferal blinking on the side bar there, but if you are interested in joining, I would love to be able to "refer" you! What you do is take a little time to review a website, and others give you feedback on what they think of your site. I actually have it connected to my etsy shop, not this blog. I've been getting more hits at the shop according to that websites stats. So far it's been great, not too time consuming, and I've seen a few more 'new to me' Etsy shops this way too!

Below is my newest card that I just uploaded to Etsy. I love the paper, it makes me think "awe" every time I see it! Perfect for a new baby boy!

I finally made it!

I have exactly 70 items in my shop today! My goal was to get to 75, and obviously, I have not made that yet, but I'm getting there!

The newest for today is a birthday card. The paper that I used has great greens and blues. I matched it to a textured card stock and stamped that for a fun background. I also inked all the edges. I hate to say...'this is a guys card' so maybe I will say, this will work for a guy! Every time I do label a card "guy" then I have women telling me that they wouldn't mind getting this card too! So it's hard for me to label cards that way, at the same time, it's nice to have a selection of cards for men.

On that note...it's my birthday today! Gotta say that logging in to my Etsy was pretty fun- right at the top of the screen it says, "happy birthday twiddlestix!" My hubby is taking me out for supper tonight and then we are going mattress shopping. Pretty exiting, huh?! We have had the same mattress since we got married, and since hubby wakes up with a sore back every day, we decided that now is the time. We will see what we come up with. I'm a little worried...how will we know which one to pick? And how will we know if we will like it?!

Woohoo!! Fun and Exciting Stats!

Yay! Thank you so much peachtreebend for being my 300th heart!! (This seller is a newbie with no sales so check her out and maybe you will like one of her many beautiful purses that she has in her shop!)

And I finally reached my goal of having 50 items in my shop! Something I have been working on for the last couple of weeks.

Then I'll just go on with a few other fun numbers-

Number of people that have hearted individual items: 49
Views: 1084
Items sold: 49 So close to that fun 5-0!

I started selling on Etsy on October 23, 07, so I have almost been here for 6 months! Hopefully by that day I will have sold 50 items. Thanks for bearing with me as I take a peek through the stats of what has become quite a fixture in my life...twiddlestix! Who knew I was going to have so much fun, make friends, and sell my cards?!

My goal is now to reach 75 items in my shop...and then, why not go for another 100 hearts?!
