Etsy Seller

I met an Etsy seller today! Technically, she hasn't put anything in her shop yet, but she plans on doing that soon. I can't tell you how fun that is to actually meet someone like that! Especially since I live in a small town. I went to the craft fair that I thought about doing, (and actually decided against because of other circomstances) and came across her booth. She sells the cutest baby items, and I eneded up buying some of the burp cloths she had for sale! I am looking forward to seeing her shop opening, and I will show off her fun items when it does!Only 5 more days until the big give-away!! All you have to do is mention that you would like to be entered to win 3 cards of your choice from my shop. Take a look at my shop to see if you would like to be entered! Thanks!

Also, take a look at my latest Christmas cards that I will be listing!

The future

I'm not sure what is happening here... I am getting almost no views here, the views have dropped considerably at my Etsy shop, and I've only got one sale so far this month. Have I said something to offend?

Not sure what the future holds for twiddlestix.

And it's not because I don't promote myself! I spend too much time on that.

Hopefully it is just a slump that I am going through, and things will pick up.

I will leave you with this new Treasury that I just made. It's full of sand! Find the link here.

Check it out!

I am in 3 treasuries at the moment! Wow! That is really amazing to me. I try and check out the lists every day so I can see if I am featured, but I gotta tell you, it gets a little discouraging when the little yellow stars are very rare! I have 2 thumbs to show, but right now the treasury west is on the blink, so I will have to take it later.

The first one here is all yellows and that is my card peeking out in the third row in the middle! This one is made by thecraftpantry.

This one, made by backwoodsophisticate, is called "berries and cream" and my card is on the bottom row, middle.

The third treasury is made by muffintopdesigns, and as soon as t-west gets back up again, I hope I can get a thumb.

Then please check out the Treasury that I made! It's all gray jewelry, and before you think, "gray? really?" I have to tell you that it really is beautiful! I guess that's just my opinion! ;)

Favorite Sellers

Just the other day I decided to take a good look at my favorite sellers. Wow what a list!! Pages and pages of them. It was reconfirmed that there are a lot of really great sellers on Etsy. What I am going to do is let you know a couple of shops that have caught my eye in the short 4 months that I have been here at Etsy.

The very first shop that I hearted was dragonflies. http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=82937 What first drew my eye to her shop were these very magnets.

I loved the look of them! She has since sold many, many sets of magnets, as well as button bouquets. Just browsing in her shop there are so many other magnets sets that I would love to purchase! She uses great color combinations and fun patterns!

The last shop that I have hearted was Prettyinposies. This seller has the most adorable felt hair assesories! I just love how they look! This spring I plan on buying up a couple for my girls. Chech out her shop here http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5532095 and take a quick peak at one of her designs.

These 2 are just a sample of what awesome crafters there are on Etsy!

And while you are browsing Etsy...please take a look at my shop! ;)

Again, I realize the importance of Etsy Friends

I decided to cheer myself up I would talk in the coffee time thread this morning. Wow! That helped so much! Seriously! There are so many super nice people on Etsy, and they were there to give me encouragement this morning. Thanks so much!!

I am sharing with you the Treasury that I made this morning. I think it also helped cheer me- the bright colors and fun items!! Check it out! Leave a comment and do some clickety clicking!

Here's to Jujuw...and my coffee chat friends

I came up with this idea last night and was very excited to try it! I am not sure if this card is sellable, but like every thing else, I can only try it and see once.

Every morning Jujuw starts a coffee time thread, and I have "met" and made some good friends there. I have talked about this before on this blog, but it goes with the card I made, and some of you might have missed it the first time! They take the time to really look at my shop, and everyone else's that happens to show up. I really enjoy getting to know them. We come from all over, and are all different ages, but yet we still have fun!

If you have seen the thread, but haven't entered- don't be shy! These are some really great people! Join us!

Etsy people are the reason that I stay there...at the moment I cannot say it's my sales! I have too much fun talking to people there, more than I ever thought I would. This type of thing was totally foreign to me just a few short months ago.

So, you know who you are! Love you guys! (I guess I should have written this yesterday for Valentines day! ;)

This card is for my design a day # 15! The outside of the card says, "I'm so glad..." and the inside says, "we're friends."

Again, Showing the Love to More of Etsy Friends

Another list of Great Etsy sellers! These people are great! They take time out of their day to really check out my shop, compliment my items, and, of course, chat with me!

Drumroll please...;)
