this week in the studio…

 

first off… i am welcoming the month of june today! :)

 

i have been doing some 'shop thinking' this week. i am starting to list some things in my abandoned etsy shop. :) i have not been in there for ages, but i often hear about the great interactions between etsy shop owners. like with etsy circles. i don't know a lot about how they work. if you know…  i would love if you could share your experience with us.

i thought it would be great for us to share our etsy shops so we can spread the etsy circle love!! what do you think? the more circles we are in the better… right? so if you have an etsy shop, just go ahead and link it up today too. (just write 'etsy' or 'shop' in the title so everyone knows which links are for shops and which are for the regular posts.) i am sure there is a handful of your etsy shops that i have not seen yet and would love to!

 

speaking of selling and etsy and our shops… i would like to put together a group conversation where we can ask questions and share tips about online selling. where we can find help and give help. i am thinking maybe a skype chat? (a 'typing chat' that way you don't need a mic and setting up a skype account is easy and free.) if there is enough interest, i will put this idea together and give more information next week! do you have an etsy or artfire shop? let me know if you would be interested in joining a helpful chat… in the comments or via my contact page or email. :)

 

and…

don't miss out on my (in)rl giveaway!

 

i am so looking forward to seeing your creative heart this week.

ready to share? let us celebrate the process and the accomplishments.
please remember we want this to be an encouraging group, it would be wonderful if you would visit as many of the other studios as you can.
and remember… 'studio' is meant to be wherever you are creating.
