Working on that Etsy Shop and Giveaway Winner(s)

2009 June 13
by 5 Orange Potatoes

I’ve been working on that Etsy shop for the past few days. Those of you Etsy gals make it sound so easy to start up…..I sure don’t think so. That darn shop header was a headache! Then all the “stuff” you have to think about just to set up the shop, just not my cup of tea. Hopefully, it will be ready in the next couple of days. You may not see me around until I get it up; so don’t be surprised if you don’t see a new post for the next few days.

The Giveaway
Giveaways just kill me! I LOVE doing them but with 72 people entered and all the support and wonderful opinions you have all given me, it is sooooooo hard to have just one winner. So I did the random generator for 4 winners instead of 1, and the winners are:
1. Lisa from Goose and Binky; she won a fawn
2. Elizabeth (Morrie and Elizabeth), you won the orange coneflower- be sure to contact me, I have no way to reach you
3. Shanda won the mushroom brooch- be sure to contact me
4. Tara from Periwinkles and Pine; she won a mushroom brooch
Email me your addresses lovely ladies and I will ship them off next week.
Thank you all so much for your comments and support. You were all so helpful!

    congrats to the winners!
    Be sure to look into the distance every once in a while to give those eyes a break. Setting up an etsy shop can fry the brain, well it did mine!
    Your header on your blog is wonderful!

    Ya know what I did? I looked at some of the Etsy shops I loved (that sell similar pieces) and read their policies, got a feeling for how they priced things and offered shipping, etc. and I created my policies, etc. that way!

    My banner was a NIGHTMARE and I still don't really like it–it's blurry! :(

    You'll get everything up & running soon…no worries! :)
