5 year Etsy-versary tomorrow

Anniversaries tend not to impress me much, but I must say I am proud that I have made it on Etsy for 5 years now. When I started I only looked about 1 month in advance, knowing how difficult it was going to be , I just did not want to get my hopes up. So here it is 5 years later- WOW! I will admit this past one was the most difficult, sales were way down. I had to really watch my costs. I am really hoping 2012 will be better.
Well, I always do some sort of SALE during my Etsy-versary and this year won't be any different but I will need to post-pone it by about a week since this up coming week is crazy crazy!!
I have to take my oldest back to college on Monday, then I have to get some medical test dones on Tuesday, Wednesday/Thursday is back to North Carolina for house closing. So I think I will set the sale up to start on Friday-- details and more on that in a few days.
Have a great weekend :)

Just one of my latest pouches!

2011 coming to a close

So maybe with 2011 coming to a close, 2012 will bring a more settled and less stressful time. Between my husbands stem cell transplant at Vanderbilt this summer for his Multiple Myeloma and my oldest daughter leaving for her Freshman year at college, needless to say it has been a very difficult year. My youngest daughter is a senior and is making the final decision where to go to college, but she knows she wants to be close to home, which I am very grateful!

So my Etsy shop will re-open on New Years day and my other website shop will have its grand-opening Sale starting on New Years day too.
Here are the details for those wanting to take advantage of this great sale:
NEW YEARS DAY 2012 Grand Opening Sale - 25% OFF my entire shop. To celebrate the opening of my new website, use coupon code:GRAND25 at check out for these wonderful savings. I will start increasing inventory of this shop a few days before so if an item is currently sold out- no worries just check back closer to GRAND opening SALE date!

So I can say I plan on being better about my blog this year but I can make no promises. When Sales keep me busy then blogging becomes 2nd place. BUT I will try-- really!

Warm and Cozy!!

Just a sweet little picture of my dog Ginger. She looks so cozy on a very cold winter afternoon!
