NEW ITEMS LISTED!

I finally updated my Etsy shop! I know I said I would have it done by last night, but Ragan had some friends over and I was last on the list for getting some computer time. She has some fun friends, but I tell ya, there sure was a lot of LOUD laughing and silliness! :) So go check out some of the new signs that I just added! As a special Christmas bonus, each order will receive a little extra something .....I can't tell you what it is because that will ruin the surprise! I also feel a GIVEAWAY in the very near future!!!! I will be adding new items every other day or so, so check back often. **ALL ETSY PROCEEDS GO TO SUPPORT OUR SON ON HIS CHURCH MISSION IN UGANDA.

New Etsy Items!

Signs, signs and more signs. That's what's new over at my Etsy shop! If you see something you like, let me know! Also, if there is a custom saying you would like made into a sign, I can do that for you. For even more signs and their descriptions, pop over to my Etsy shop and take a look. THANKS! ***This yellow is much darker in real life! :) ***Same with this yellow!

Say hello to my....

....new acquisition! It's a TOASTER COZY!! Now, I realize that it's not your Grandmother's toaster cozy. However, this is definitely MY idea of one! I don't know about you, but I hate my toaster sitting out on the counter. It's such an eyesore! And, to make matters worse, I don't have the cupboard space to hide it away. So, I asked my wonderful husband to whip me up this little cozy. (Okay...so it's not so little, but our toaster is on the bigger side.) If anyone should want one of these, Craig said he is up for taking orders! Just email me and we can discuss the specifics.....:):):). Stay tuned for a fun fall giveaway commemorating my 100th post and opening of my Etsy shop!

GIVE AWAY, GIVE AWAY, GIVE AWAY!!

Come one, come all! For all of you just tuning in, I am trying to enlist your help in making a decision as to whether or not to open an Etsy shop. You all know the routine, right?? Leave me a comment telling me (a) what your experiences have been with Etsy...buying, selling or otherwise, and/or (b) what you would like to see or buy from an Etsy shop. If you would like to enter more than once, mention this give away on your blog (then email me with your link) and I will enter your name another THREE times. My email address is; joannecarter4(at)yahoo(dot)com Everyone that already left me a comment on my original post about this will be entered in the drawing an additional time.:) I will have one of my wonderful children draw a name out of a hat on Wednesday, July 30th. For your trouble, I am offering this prim tool box. It is ready to stuff full of your favorite items. (I will be including some REALLY fun little stuffers for it, as well!!) Here it is with some ivy... (yes...it's fake. Don't judge me.) I can't wait to hear what you have to say!!!

Your input is needed....

Hello blogger friends! I hope everyone is having a fantastic Tuesday. Today I would like to ask your advice. I have been thinking about opening up an Etsy shop for quite some time. I have done the craft fairs & booths and even sold some things on Ebay. However, I am new to the whole Etsy experience and would like some input from all of you. I want to hear all about your experiences....the good, the bad and the ugly. I want the positive and the negative. I want to know if you have bought something or sold something. I want to know about how your item was sent to you or how you send items. I really want to make an informed decision here, so don't be shy with your comments, people!! :) And for the time you have spent here leaving a comment, I will be offering you a reward. Tune in tomorrow for all the details. (ooooh...the suspense!) Remember this??? Well, here is the finished product. It's a reversible apron! disclaimer** Ragan is a very unwilling model. This is a picture of Ragan after her 2nd day of high school! I was trying my hand at covert picture taking. She spotted me, though!
