Wow!

We had been wondering about an increase in traffic to our site, and a huge increase in traffic to our squidoo page. We had thought maybe there was a fluke in the counter system, but were very surprised and honored to realize this morning that our squidoo page had been featured in an article on Etsy written by Seth Godin, famous blogger and author. Thanks for the publicity Seth if you end up here by chance. We are quite honored to be mentioned especially since we re such lightweights in the Etsy community. We have so much enjoyed our time on Etsy and look forward to what the future holds there! Have a great day everyone.

Things have been going well with us although hectic. We just finished a set of cute plum and gold save the dates and shipped them out today. We have had some local interest in our greeting cards and have been making a lot of those for that local customer. We had a custom bulk greeting card order from California too. We offer 15% off each card if you order more than 4 single cards in a single purchase. We are know mostly for our cards and invitations but we do jewelry too and Ally even sold a painting. These are some beautiful earrings that ally made. These have sold but just send us an email or convo us on etsy if you don't see any up and she will be happy to make some with whatever colors you have in mind.

More spring photos

Was out for a walk enjoying the beautful weather and took a couple of shots. KK, the cat in these photos was my cat before I went to college now he lives with my mom and sister. He loves to go on walks and follows us if we go out, you can see him tagging along. We think he believes that he is a dog.

Spring is definitely here!

We have had several warm days this year, even a few hot ones. Not at all unusual for south Georgia. Today was a particularly beautiful day. The sun was shining it was warm but the breeze was cool so not hot yet. The bees were buzzing and the flowers are blooming everywhere. Too bad I start sneezing every time I step outside. I have kept the doors and windows open to let in the view though and it has been so nice.

My Friend

I love the colors in the card listed today. Not really springy but so cute! I recently got some bronze ink and I really enjoyed playing with it the last time I was making cards.

It was such a long week and I am glad to be home for a few days. Killer was glad to see me...isn't she too cute? Unfortunately I am heading out again tomorrow and will be gone till Monday.

Etsy Artist We Love

We ordered a custom stamp about a month ago from Terbear Collectibles on Etsy and we were so pleased we wanted to share and encourage anyone else who wants a custom stamp for their shop or just for fun to check out the shop http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5160878

Our stamp was for the backs of our cards so people who receive our cards from a buyer can get to our website if they want to order too. The stamp we bought is here http://www.etsy.com/view_transaction.php?transaction_id=7412927

We were very pleased with the service we received, we feel like we got exactly what we asked for. Definitely go check and see what is available because in addition to custom stamps there is a great selection of ready made stamps and lots of other neat stuff!

Heading Out

Today's Etsy post is quite springy. I got these adorable flower stickers a few weeks ago from Michaels and I had a lot of fun making the vines for it to grow on. I am looking forward to making lots more spring themed cards!

I am leaving today for a week spent in Macon where my job is. I have orientation tomorrow-Friday and again Mon+Tues and I am going to work regular shifts Saturday and Sunday. Going to be a long week I think. Luckily I have internet access while I am gone so I can get my Etsy fix. Chico is going with me Killer is going to stay at home as usual. Chico gets very nervous and looks like he does in this photo when I start packing my bags because he is never sure if he gets to tag along or not.
