Front Page Finally

I have been trying for a couple of years now to get on the front page. I finally made it by way of a treasury that I created. I am hoping that one day soon one of my creations will make it to the front page of Etsy. Keep your fingers crossed for me.

What's Up

My life is changing in a big way. My daughters have just turned 18. They are now legal adults. I can not believe that it was 18 years ago that I was able to hold them both in my arms. Now I can' lift them. No more parent teacher conferences, no more lunches to make or school concerts to go to. What do I do now?

As they head to a new part of their life I too will change directions. I have been selling jewelry on Etsy for almost two years. My Etsy shop has changed hopefully for the better and with all this change I have decided to start selling my artwork in the fall.

Change is scary, but I hope it will be good.

No More Hacks


I am sad to say that etsyhacks is not working on my etsy page. Due to the "improvements" on etsy the hacks no longer work. If you weren't using them before you will not know what you are missing. Hopefully they will come up with a fix to this problem. Goodbye hacks...we'll miss you.

Blog much?


I have decided that I am not very good at blogging or curling for that matter. I think I will try to blog at least once a week. More than that is too much for me. My life is fairly simple and uneventful. I am not a writer and do not wish to become one. I am an artist.

To tweet or not to tweet...

...that is the question. I hear that tweeting brings in people to your site which means sales, etc, etc. I am not to sure. I started tweeting recently and many people have come to my shop. My biggest issue with tweeting is spam. Am I just spamming people when I notify them of sales or new listings or are they really interested in seeing my shop. I guess they have a choice. This morning I spent half the day trying to turn off mobile updates for my twitter account because I received over 500 tweets from 3 people in less than an hour. They did not stop. I had a major headache by 9 am. I unfollowed them and block them and that didn't work so I finally had to turn off the mobile updates and reset my password. I am not sure that I will be tweeting in the near future. I do promise not to spam anyone it is a horrible feeling to have it done to you. Be careful who you follow.

Bigger than ever!


Our BOGO sale has now been extended to earrings. Buy any pair of earrings and get half off the second pair of equal or lesser value. So that means everything in our shop is on sale. Sale is good through Monday, February 1, 2010. This would be a great time to shop for Valentine's Day or if you are one of those well organized people (I, personally, don't qualify for the well organized club) maybe even Mother's Day.
