I Accept Your Challenge

While setting up for the fair tonight, my sister so lovingly pointed out that an Etsy Street Team leader should have promotional items about the team. This was after we had met Chris Massingill and talked about how we should have promotional materials. I think the exact line was “Yeah, and you’re supposed to be […]

Thank You!!!

The TransCanada Etsy Team recently held a scavenger hunt of sorts in their shops. There were a series of questions about the sellers and you had to find out which one it was by searching through their shops. I always love looking through the shops that make up other teams, so, for fun, I joined […]

For you Texas Fans…

I made this necklace, just for you Longhorn fans out there. Soon to be found in my Etsy shop. And for those of you who root for a team a bit more local to where I am, once I find supplies, you’ll have your necklace too.

Newbies

After many months of eyeing these retaining/retainer (not sure which it is) rings, I finally broke down and rewarded myself for not purchasing anything on Etsy for a month. I think they were well deserved. They sat on my desk for about a week until inspiration hit. I think they fit well into my shop […]

Shop Update this weekend

I’ll be updated my shop with three new versions of one of my newest necklace designs, “Falling Leaves”. I love making this necklace as it allows me to use some of my fancier beads that don’t really fit into my bracelets. I could make them all day, unfortunately, I’m out of leaf charms. Until I […]

Featured and Tagged

Interestingly enough, the artist/crafter I had planned on featuring in my blog this evening has tagged me. So after you are impressed by her work, you can read 6 unimportant facts about yours truly. A fellow member of the Arkansas Etsy Street Team (AREtsy) is a wonderful lady by the name of Anne… however, you […]

Alchemy

Etsy has an area they call Alchemy. It’s a great place to go and post something you are wanting but can’t find on Etsy. I browse it once in a while for someone wanting a bracelet that I think I can do. The problem is my bracelets abstractly represent what people are asking for. I […]

The Return

Red, Red Wine Earrings – found in my Etsy shop It feels like it’s been ages since I’ve had time to write a blog post. I’ve been knee deep in the largest event I plan at Walton Arts Center. We have a yearly fund raiser that we call “Art of Wine”. It’s a HUGE event, […]

Very Excited

I sat down to make some jewelry today. It was the first time in over 3 weeks that I’ve sat at my craft table for more than packaging up items to ship off to people. I was very excited about the necklace above. I’ve had the square things (pieces of old slides?) for a while […]

Beer and Steak

I started a forum thread in the Etsy forums last night about all of the sugar coating that goes on. Yes, there is a time and place for being nice and I’m not a mean person, but enough was a enough and I started a thread about it. Obviously, I wasn’t the only one who […]
