LOVE

Hey everyone! How are you on this beautiful FREEZING day?!?

Yeah its cold! So I decided to make something to warm my heart! Yes I got that from a cheesy Hallmark commercial but it made me smile so I'm good!!!!! LOL

So, I was thinking about setting up an Etsy store and I worked on that a little today! What is your advice for selling on etsy, should I do it? Do you all think my stuff would sell? Don't worry you will NOT hurt my feels lol. Just be honest and let me know.

Okay so Angelica and Erin who happen to be some of my favorite bloggers have started Music Mondays!!! Yall may not know this but music is my muse. I LOVE MUSIC! To the enth degree I have no idea what I would do without music so of course I will be playing along!!! Go over and join them. This song is one of my favorites!!! It's You Are the Best Thing by Ray Lamontagne

Isn't it beautiful!

I really used this opportunity to use some carts that I hadn't even linked to my G! GASP!!! I know I know bad Cricut mommy! AYE!!

SO, Did I mention that I'm in LOVE! Yup that's me. Another reason to make this lovely banner.

I'm so inspired by my friend RUTHIE if you haven't seen her blog go over and look around.  She makes amazing things and her banners are fabulous!

Here's a list of What was used:
Cricut- Slumber Party, Classic Font
Ink- Tim Holtz Tea Dye
Embellishments- prima flowers, snaps from my stash, stickles, sewing rick rack
Tools- swirls embossing folder, big shot
Adhesive- atg, hot glue gun

  2. Definately sell on Etsy! I love Etsy and all of the other shops and goodies that is offered. I would just say research prices before you price what you want to sell! Also, just like in retail stores make what is currently "hot." Like right now I have been selling Valentines day cards. Its a great learning experience. :) This banner is gorgeous! I could see it selling on Etsy ;)

  13. Oh yes...and do sell on etsy ! you'll be making lots of trips to the post office to ship...and you probably won't become rich, but you could definitely make some change to feed your crafting addiction...I'm assuming you have one like I do :)
    good luck :)
