Etsy Nibble!


The original point of this blog was to support my etsy store. Over the past few months, I've lost a little of the obsession of using my beautiful little Craft Robo, quite possibly my most fun and exciting craft purchase ever (and one whose cost I justified by pointing out the thousands I was going to make on etsy).

I've had a bit of a dry spell on etsy for a few months. You get sales by keeping your store up-to-date (newer postings come up first in the search results) and by actively promoting your store in ways that I haven't been taking advantage of lately (one is by blogging about your various activities), so it's something of a miracle that someone actually did stumble upon one of my listings, for my circus/carnival invitations and asked about them.

She's planning a "Three-Ring Circus" theme for her three kids. In the works: a music instructor to entertain the wee ones, a popcorn machine, a bouncy structure, clown performance and other fun activities.

Fun! I love people who plan in advance (it makes my own obsessive planning six months ahead of time seem a little less crazy).

Hopefully she'll respond positively to my message back to her.... we'll see!

Molly...I stumbled across your shop today and love, love, love your products. I REALLY like the water/ocean invites, but don't know if I can justify spending $4 each for a two year olds birthday party. I have a little time, 02/08/09 is the event, so I may be back! Thanks for creating some great projects!

Send me a convo (etsy equivalent of an email) on etsy so we can talk! I have a ton of ideas (which I'm happy to talk about, even if you don't decide to use my invitations) for a water-themed party. The one I threw for my boys, for which there is a blog posting, was for their third birthday party and had a fish theme, which had let itself to a ton of different kinds of games, decorations, etc...

Anyway, I really appreciate your kind words! Thanks much...
