Having a "Black Friday Sale" in my etsy shop

(gratuitous kitten shot)

Stay tuned, I plan on making it just as fun as getting up at 3am and waiting in a long line in the freezing cold. Even better than wading through crowds of people to get that ONE item. How about sittin at home in your jammies with your coffee and scoring some huge sales? Free shipping?? Discounts?? Giveaways?? All will be revealed later!

Shop Statistics

I have been enjoying my first, but not last, purchase from Lance at SimpleSolutions.etsy.com . http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5903349
His wonderful tool tracks and graphs my Item heart and shop views. I can see what gets viewed most. It really allows me to see what happens to my shop after I chat in the forums, add new items, relist, or anything that helps me promote my etsy store. That way I can see what is most effective for marketing. It is so user friendly it just takes one click to update the numbers so you can do it whenever you want, and as many times a day as you want. I only wish I had had this when I started! He has many other products for us statistics-loving etsians. He'll help you find out what's going on in your shop. Excellent customer service too!

Found myself on the gift guides!

Do you google yourself?? I do and today I found out I was chosen to be in the gift guide for "him" by esty admin! I am super excited that they liked my work enough to feature it. The funny thing was, they chose an item that I wouldn't have thought men would wear. This lovely hat which has a matching scarf. I am thrilled to reach another market!

New Blog

Hello! I am really new to blogging. This is my first one. I am currently setting it up so please bear with me while I build. I am going to blog about my new etsy shop, the things I learn, and the adventures I have while crafting! Much more later....
