Help Me ~ Team & Treasury Frenzy...

I find it interesting to be part of teams over on Etsy - there is such a mix of artists...

For the Etsy Mud Team I just created this treasury:

And for the Delaware Etsy Street Team, this one:

So if you see me posting more treasuries for Beads of Clay and TriState Area Teams before next week - make sure to call my husband and tell him I need help…

I just can't help it sometimes - there is such awesome stuff over there on Etsy and I can't afford it all, so somehow making Treasuries - or rather "personal viewing collections" - I feel like I've shopped without having to come home and hide everything. Or rather, for Etsy shopping - get to the mailbox and hide all the items before Dave sees them…

Man I miss the days of having a car with my own private trunk space…

I'm off to the studio for a bit this week.

Making beads & glazing pieces for orders to be happening…

What are you up to this week?

Front Page On Etsy and SNS Treasury...

My "Sea Shore" silk knot bundle was featured on the front page of Etsy right before midnight last night…

Sea Shore Silk Knot Bundle on Etsy

I've never had anything from my shop up there - so it was such a rush to be online during the SNS (Saturday Night Specials) event and see what happens live…

The beautiful treasury this was featured in is called:

Muted

It was so cool to see all the "hearts" showing up in the activity feed.

I'm so easily amused…

Doesn't take much to make this girl happy sometimes!

I also wanted to get a treasury made for the SNS Team, but I with Riley being a little fussy through the night (Dave took first shift) and me listing the treasuries from SNS on my blog (I didn't even get them all listed - wow!), I didn't pull through until um - 1:30am…

Here is my SNS Team Treasury: 

SNS Saturday Night Specials Gathering

I hope that in upcoming weeks on Saturday I can be a little more on the ball with this and get treasuries done before the peak of the event.

Want more info?

Want to be a part of this or catch some sales?

Every Saturday Night:

Starting Time: 5pm EST Saturday

Ending Time: 6am EST Sunday

Click on the weekly "Original SNS for Saturday's Date" discussion thread and you will see a bunch of shops with links to their shops, their coupon code or sale, and a sample of their item.

It's a lot of fun!

Especially if you're hanging out at home catching a movie on the television...

Saturday Night Special Fun!!!

What Do You Do On Saturday Nights?

We are usually running around a bit crazy until 9 or 10pm with the little ones...

Riley and Marsha Saturday Night...

Once Riley has gone to bed, we settle in for some movie and popcorn time with Chloe and I get some time to "work" on the computer.

I've found a new Team over on Etsy to be a part of:

The Original Saturday Night Specials Team

Etsians that join this team run a "Saturday Night Special" in their shop from 5pm EST Saturday night through 6am EST Sunday and pop in and out over on the team thread to chat (there are two dedicated discussions for each topic).

Want to shop and get a deal on some items over on Etsy?

Click HERE to go to the team discussion thread where shops have listed their coupon code, a sample item from their shop and a link to their shop.

It is like my Etsy family exponentially grew overnight…

I love the energy over on this team!

And the treasuries & exposure is awesome…

I love shopping the treasuries, so I decided to add this post to my blog to help promote the team and all the shops participating in this weekly event.
I'm going back over there, and to maybe make some team treasuries to add to the list below.
And of course - To Shop!!!

Etsy Shop - Almost Scrubbed Toothbrush-Clean...

I almost have not left my computer in 2 days - which I can't stand!

My back is killing me…

Thank You Dave for hitting up my lower back with some mineral ice tonight…

So romantic right? Hey - I'm ok with that...

I've been busily cleaning up my computer photos, my Etsy inventory, and my Etsy listings…

Wallpaper Flower Pendant in New Peacock Glaze

I've been updating the information in each listing…

Note to self - do not list anything new until your listings are updated.

Then copy and paste or you will have 70+ listings to check through vs 40…

I've been changing up categories, tags and titles hoping to get more hits through Etsy search terms and Google Analytics.

I'm hoping to actually get to looking into Google Analytics to see what it is all about and see how it can help promote my Etsy shop by what I'm already doing.

What kinds of stuff do you do to help improve the visibility of your Etsy Shop?

Do you participate in Etsy Circles and Favorites?
Here is a link to my Etsy profile if you want to add me to your circle or favorite.
I'm on there quite a bit these days...

How have sales been in your shop compared to this time last year?

What kinds of things are you getting ready for in your shop?

Here is one of my latest Etsy treasuries:
Bring On The Fall...

Thanks for taking the time to stop by and leave a comment…
See you over there on Etsy or FaceBook.

Enough Already - Spa Day (Sorta)...

Do you find yourself where I am right now?

In that place where you just feel overwhelmed and frustrated?

Just because there is SO much going on, and you can't seem to get anywhere?

I feel like that about a few things, and as of today, the foot is going down…

Laptop is being backed up.

Then files deleted.

I am sick of seeing that "you are running low on hard drive space" message.

I'm running low on a lot of things - patience being one of them…

So today as my computer is getting a "spa day" - my brain will be too.

I am going through my Inventory on my Etsy shop and in photos in my "Etsy February Update" folder.

There are sub-folders too with April and Now in that February one.

I feel so much better after going through stuff to see what I have listed...

What I have photographed, need to be listed…

And photographed, already listed and maybe sold…

I love purging days.

Then to get to my Quickbooks so I can finally get some correct perspective on where my business stands in reality and not just my brain (cause I know my brain lives in a fun place, and not necessarily reality most days).

Hope you are keeping cool if you are in this unbearable heat wave…

Oh, and keep an eye on my Etsy Shop for updates in the next week.

I've got plans for photographing a bunch of items that have been coming out of the kilns in the last few months that are yummy...

I Heart Macro - Chloe's View

Here is my post for this week's I Heart Macro over at Studio Waterstone.

But from a different point of view…

Chloe's 3 year old view through pictures taken with the iPhone camera...

Lots of photos from the car...

She likes taking pictures of her dolls...

At 3.5 years old - not bad (just a bit blurry)...

Lots of pictures of her little finger too...

This one is crazy that the center is in focus.

I doubt I could do that if I tried...

Taking a picture of mom, taking a picture of her...

And here is my new haircut - photo taken by me a few days ago.

Still working on finding a photo I'm happy with for my avatar for all things related to me…

Go on over and check out the other posts for this week's I Heart Macro!

Thanks for stopping by here...
