About Etsy

Someone asked me what Etsy is. Good question. Etsy is an online community where people open up their own "shops" and sell all handmade products. Everything on Etsy was handmade by someone - this is the charm of Etsy. It is a very tight community and I have LOVED the support I have found in forums and personal conversations. It really is a great site and I am so glad to be a part of it. As a friend of mine once said, "Stick it to corporate America! Shop local!"

New Etsy

I spent ALL DAY revamping my Etsy site; taking new pictures, writing new descriptions etc.
The pictures look much better, if I do say so myself.

Wonderful

You can't possibly have a bad day when it begins with this song:

Mamasource.com

I wanted to take a minute and talk about this great site called mamasource.com. I discovered this site when my daughter was just born and cannot express how much it has helped me this past year and a half. First of all, let me tell you a little bit about it. It's a community site for local moms. The local part is awesome because if I want advice about a store to go to or a new doctor, these women can give me their personal experiences because they all live near me. I've also gotten advice about local play groups and other meet up groups for moms. It's also a place to go to for advice. You post a request at any time and I guarantee within just a few hours you will have 4 or 5 responses. Every morning an email comes with recently posted requests that more people then respond to. So now you're getting even more advice from women all over the board. New moms, moms with lost of children, single moms, working moms, stay at home moms, mixed family moms...the list is endless. The advice is priceless because it's based on experience. Many people also take the time to refer books or specific studies depending on what type of problem you are having. I have highly recommended it to all of my pregnant friends and family. The main reason I think mamasource is different from other communities is that your post isn't lost in a sea of posts on an obscure message board hidden in a forum. You post a question and everyone will get an email with your question. You are guaranteed that everyone with something to say about your question will see it and be able to respond. And you get an email every time you get a response. It's a very intimate community that I am happy to be a part of.

SHALI

I've been trying to work with this company called Staying Home and Lovin It. If you've heard of it I'd love to hear any stories about working with this company. It's been...interesting. That's all I'll say for now. Here's the website:

Make Up Kit

Here's my latest addition - a sewing travel kit. Here's the description and picture:
This handy little kit has four slots for makeup and other toiletries needed while traveling. Instead of a bulky bag or plastic bag, all you need to do is roll up and tie your make up for easy and convenient travel and storage. Once arrived at your destination, use the buckle to hang from a hook so you don't use up counter space.

Etsy

I started selling homemade products on Etsy. I focus on toys and clothes for kiddie's and bath and body treats for their hardworking mommas. I'll be posting pictures and such, and maybe add some non-Etsy related stuff once in awhile. Just for fun.
