Gift Guide

I'm in the gift guide! YaY! I'm in the art collector section. I feel overly special at the moment. I wonder how long I've been there.

New treasuries!

I've been lucky enough to be featured in three different treasuries in the past two days. It's been a nice surprise because I've had the flu as well. So at least someone is promoting me. :)

This first one features my painting. Thank you Angrygirlgear


And this treasury features my pink duct tape bracelet. Thank you Knottylindsi



And finally. My newspaper bracelet. Thank you Femputer

Just listed

I just listed another recycled wall hanging on Etsy. I sold the other one a fews weeks ago and I just finished this one the other day. I did it a little different this time and kept it in a rectangle shape. I also added hooks so it can be hung vertical or horizontal. I'm also working on another project using this same concept. So stay tuned for that.

Treasury time!

I made it into another treasury. Always exciting. :)

newspaper newspaper newspaper

I've been busy rolling bead and making some fun new bracelets. I'm starting to get them listed on etsy. I hate to toot my own horn, but I think they are awesome. I've been experimenting on making jewelry from newspaper for awhile. I believe I have it down now.

This one is made with the grocery section. It has a lot of fun food items on it.

This one is made out of the classified section.

I've also been busy reorganizing my craft room. Yes I have a craft room now. Well, It's actually my walk-in closet. I don't use it too much for my clothes so I figure it would be great for a craft room. Instead of having everything through out the house. I'm sure my husband appreciates it as well. That is all for now. I'm off to make more beads.

Christmas rush?

Well my sales didn't exactly flourish for the Christmas season. I plan on adding a bunch of new items to my shop. I'm also working on a new promotional plan for the up coming year. I know I haven't exactly had the greatest luck with etsy, but it is way too much fun to give up already.

Tracking views

I like to keep track of my views. Until recently I did this by simply trying to remember what my views were for the previous day. Then I had this idea to create a spreadsheet to keep track of them. I have each item listed and the views. Everyday I enter in the new amount of views. Some days they go up some days they don't. I usually try and jot down if I was in a treasury or if I posted some form of advertising. That way I can kinda see where my views come from. I can track how many views I get from re listing an item. It isn't very technical but I mainly do it out of curiosity.

It is also fun to create charts from the spreadsheet.
