Getting to know other sellers

Stacey and I have been so tied up with working on our shop we have not taken time out to get to know other Etsy sellers. I love how kind the Etsy community is, everyone is willing to help. I was initially a little skeptical about reaching out to other sellers with questions because I was unsure of the reaction that I would get. Will they ignore me? will they think I am trying to steal their tips or business from their shop? Soon after reading through the Etsy forums I immediately realized that everyone was there to help one another. It rally made me want to hang out in the forums more, to make friends, and find cool stuff!

I would say about twice a month I find myself in the mall looking for something cool/different/unique to buy. WHAT? how ridiculous does that sound! If we spend more time getting to know sellers we will come across GREAT stuff, and support one another. Next time I want something, I will think twice about going to the mall, I will check out Etsy first. I want to support as many people as I can, and having a shopping problem should make that very easy!

A short rant!

We've been bad little bloggers :(

After spending all of last weekend, LITERALLY, working on re-vamping our shop we have been al little pooped out! On top of the fact that Stacey and I are full time students, and I work full time! After all of our hard work I can truly say we are having a REALLY great time! nothing like good old arts and crafts to bring sisters together!

Ever since Stacey and I started making greeting cards, I am really starting to love paper crafts! I am researching how to make notebooks and Journals! It is great how one thing can lead to another so fast, especially when you learn about new skills that you never knew you had in the process.

I must say that our biggest struggle so far is time management. I suppose because we are in the beginning stages of our "Etsy career", we have to put more time into it then ever, however I dont ever see it slowing down too much! We are managing, After a lot of trial and error, and organizing I am sure we will figure something out.

This blog post has been a bit of a rant! Please check out our store, and feel free to critique it! we would love some feedback!
