Today, on my coveted snow day from my "real" job, I decided to take advantage of the time I was given and be a BAD girlfriend, set aside the laundry, dishes, and cleaning that I should do with the day and devote HOURS to ordering new supplies, creating a new banner, and revamping my last year's created Etsy site. I feel that I was extremely lucky the first time around with Etsy-- I posted a mere 4 photographs, mostly on a whim, and they all sold within a month. I had heard horror stories of Etsy shops taking months and months to take off, so I was thrilled with the progress! However, it was a busy time for me-- student teaching, graduating college, applying for graduate school, etc, and before I knew it, I had become an Etsy neglector! :( Rather than let the shop go to shambles, I "closed" it down and waited for until I knew I was ready to commit to it.
So, she's back up and running, and true to form, I've only posted a select few photographs so far. However, I have big plans for her! :p I have been working on some mixed media paintings that should go up soon, along with some jewelry, which is a new venture for me. (Another thing I did today with my time off-- ordered some jewelry making supplies-- woo!) I alllsooo have a lovely gift certificate to Michael's from my (go figure) loooovely boyfriend to spend. Haven't decided if I'll venture out into the snow yet to use it today or not...
That's about all for now, except, oooo, here's a screenshot of the new shop!
& here's the link!
