Finally! Phew! For those of you that have an Etsy store - you know what I'm talking about, and for those of you don't - what a process. Creating items for the store is so much fun, I don't even think about the time involved. It's like therapy.
But taking the photos . . . uploading the pictures (and then half of them end up being too big, so I have to go back and crop ) . . . . writing a description . . . on, and on, and on . . . OYE!
ya'll knew there'd be cones! ;o)
It took me 4 hours last night just to get what little I have in my store uploaded and descriptions written. I know I have quite a few Stampin' Up! stamp sets (I used to be a demonstrator) - kinda boring if you don't stamp - but I just have to get rid of some that I don't use anymore and probably never will. In past years, I'd sold them Ebay, but it doesn't look like sets have been moving very well on Ebay lately by my observation, so I'm trying them at Etsy first.
I am planning on creating more handmade items in the shop. For now I'm getting started with a few V'day inspired pieces.
And I'll be adding more past thrifted items as well.
Baby steps.
Now, I promised giveaways for the big grand re-opening of my shop. Because I'm so grateful to all my readers - especially the regular ones (you all know who you are!), I've decided that every commenter will receive a
LOVE Mini-Garland Tag Kit
(kit meaning "assembly required")
note: some of the papers/supplies might not arrive as shown exactly like picture above
YES! Every single person who comments today between the hours of 10 a.m. and
5 p.m. EST will get a gift from me. Leave a little blurb on your blog about my Grand Re-opening and giveaway, and you'll get a little extra surprise with your garland.
EDIT: I was kind of afraid of being overwhelmed with comments (HA! Guess I was a little over-confident! ;o), that's why I set up the time restriction for receiving a
LOVE Garland Kit.
I'm in such a good mood today, and I can surely handle a few more than 6 kits, I'm extending the time to 12:00 EST. I really don't want any of my new blog friends to miss out!
My little thank you for being such nice bloggy friends! :o)
Thanks for visiting!
Leave a comment so I can get to know you.

It looks like you have some REALLY cute stuff in your Etsy store. That love banner is just too CUTE and you are so sweet to give them away. We are getting ready to leave to go shopping so I'll be back later to browse.
Congratulations, Carla! I'm sure all this hard work will pay off! I'll be visiting your shop later today, as I see some things you've pictured that I am loving. I'm going to put your giveaway on my sidebar, just because, and not for anything extra.
Thought you'd get a kick out of something I saw. In December when we went into the city for a party, crossing one of the bridges and leaving Brooklyn, there was a sign that said "Leaving Brooklyn Oy Vey".
Good for you Carla! I can completely understand about the work...photos...descriptions...setting prices...tough stuff.
I'm off to check you out.

Darn! I knew I should have stayed home yesterday and played on the computer instead! Then I would have been able to wish you the best in your new venture. Make sure you let us know how the etsy store is doing, I have been wanting to start one too! Congrats!
