New Specials, and Special Things!

So it's Monday again! This week's new sale is: 20% off one single card...any one you want from either my Etsy shop, or my Artfire. There are links on the sideboard to each of them! Just enter "20%Blog" in the message to seller, and I will refund you that money!

Just wanted to share a couple of fun things I found on Etsy this morning! The first one is a cool pillow from pinkalmond Isn't it cool?!

Willowcreeksigns is a really neat shop, and once I have my house up, I will be making some purchases! This is just one of my favorites!

And this is actually not from Etsy, but I saw this recently, and I want it!

It's Monday!

Ok, so I think I should get rid of my ArtFire account. There has been no sales there in the last 4+ months.

On that note, my Monday Special will be from Etsy this week! I'm giving 20% off ONE card. You can buy as many as you want, and then I will refund you 20% off the most expensive card you buy. (Most of my cards are at $2.50 though!) This will run through May 9. It will go along with the "free shipping if you buy 2 cards" that I already have going on for the Mother's Day promotion.

Just type in 20%Blog in the "Message to Seller."

Now for a little Parade of homes fun! I went to quite a few houses on Saturday to get some fun ideas for my new house. Check this out...a 2 story closet! Wouldn't that be living the high life! (I'm standing in the upstairs part of this closet.)

This same house had a dome ceiling in the kitchen...it was a gorgeous house, just something I would never live in!

Shopping on ArtFire

I have to tell you...shopping at ArtFire is really snappy! First of all, when you click "Shop" it brings you to a page where all the categories are. Also, there is a number of listed items by each category.

Ok, so then after choosing a category that I wanted to shop in, there are subcategories on the side. Also, at the top of the page there is quite a few options to sort by. "Random, Highest Price, Lowest Priced, Newest Listed, Oldest Listed, Most Views, Least Views!" How cool is that!

I also noticed that there are ad spots on the side available. I just might have to try that out some day. The price isn't that bad either...$10/week for a top level category, $5/week for a main level category, and subcategories are $2.5/ week.

All the options, and the categories, subcategories...really makes shopping at ArtFire a breeze. Just another thing that I like about the site! It was also a plus that I saw my cards scattered in there. At least, if people are shopping, they are getting face time!

New Series

I have a whole series of cards that I made with fun paper. The next set of cards I need to make is baby cards! I don't have too many of those in the shop yet!

New Set!

I have been working hard on getting new cards for the shops this week. The new ones are made with really neat paper...and I love how they turned out!

Happy Friday to Ya!

Spring is coming! I saw a few robins this morning, and that makes me pretty excited! Even though it is forcasted to snow here in the next day, I can handle it!

Come and check out my newest card on ArtFire!

And now I must get to work.

Thinking of you

I was really having fun making cards last week! It seemed like everything was flowing nice, and the cards were turning out great! I am hoping to get down there and do more of the same today. Before the weather starts getting warmer, I need to get more done.

This is one of the cards that I made. I think it's so pretty! I have it for sale at my ArtFire shop.

ArtFire Studio

I am up to 25 items in my ArtFire studio! I know, that's not much, but I am happy with what I have there! Still no sales though, and that is a little disappointing. I am still holding out because I love the way they have the listing set up, the stats page is fantastic, so I really would like to continue there.

Embarking on a New Endeavor

Ha ha! Too funny of a title...such big words...are you impressed?! Well, I really am starting a little something new. I have a friend who makes soaps, and she wants me to make some labels for them and also make some cards to go with it. She found these really adorable boxes that she puts the soap in, then she wants the card to go on top of it. Perfect for a baby gift, Mother's day, Christmas...we will just see how this will go! It's fun trying something new!

Now how about a new card from my shop? I've had a hard time keeping up here, on Etsy, ArtFire, and life, so things have been slow there. I am ready to get back into it, make more cards, and list a lot more. I also would like to get out and personally get some sales off line. Those are my goals, and I will start after the 15th! (I'm going on vacation, I'm going on vacation...and I will be so warm!)

So, in the mean time, I would just love it if you'd buy out my whole shop! ;) At least go and check it out! Don't forget my ArtFire shop, it has some really beautiful cards in it. Now, it's back to packing for me.

New Deal!

Just wanted to inform you all of the new deal I have going on in my shop! Buy 5 cards, and get them for $9.50. It's time to move some cards, and force me to update the shop! Also, check out my ArtFire shop...if you like any of those cards, let me know, and I would be happy to give you the same deal.

Cute Valentines

Well, it will be a month since I have started at ArtFire! Still no sales, but I guess I cannot expect to make a sale before a month.

I have a new set of little Valentines for little boys listed today! They are pretty cute...come and check them out!

One last Site

I've decided on 2 places to sell my cards: Etsy (of course) and ArtFire. I've tried so many of them now, and ArtFire is by far the best of the "others" that I have tried. The listing is super fast and I love how the site is set up. There sure are a lot of Etsy seller there too!

I am still learning the site though. One thing I really have to check into is how to set up different shipping profiles to be able to send to other countries. Also, I have no idea what "karma" is on that site. I am also considering being a life time member. We will have to see about that one!

So, if you would like to see more, and different types of my cards, come take a look! http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=Shop&seller_id=14555

And, here is one of the cards I have listed. Just 6 so far, but I am trying to get more in there!

Have a safe and warm Christmas!
