A while back I had a giveaway contest on Etsy to win one of my Dazzleflyz. The winner was "saladforbreakfast", who has an awesome blog with tons of giveaways that she hosts. After visting her blog, I contacted her to let her know I would love to do another giveaway on her blog. So, now the giveaway for one of my small Dazzlefly Suncatchers is happening here: http://saladforbreakfast.blogspot.com/2009/12/windys-creations-giveaway.html Check it out and Good Luck!!
How exciting! Davids Om Soap was on the front page of Etsy this morning! I have made tons of treasuries and even had a couple I've made make it to front page, but this is the first time I'm aware of being on the front page. The reason I knew we were featured was because I was on the Etsy forums and someone had posted about a new website called www.statsy.org so I checked out their website, (it's similar to craftopolis and craft cult) and they offer an automatic email if you get featured on front page of Etsy, so I signed up for the emails, and this morning when I got up, I had a notification! What a cool feature... Thanks statsy! Anyway, we're excited :) We feel famous today..hahahahaha
I LOVE making treasuries on Etsy. What's a treasury you ask? It's a way to feature artists on Etsy who's work you admire. If you go to the main page on Etsy and scroll down, there is a hyper-link that says "Treasury". That is where you can view the different treasuries made by other Etsy artists. They last 2 to 3 days and then they are gone. Why make a treasury? Well, I like making treasuries because I discover different talents on Etsy. Also, when you are in a treasury, there's a little excitement when you see the item someone has chosen to feature. It's also a chance to play with color and balance and layout. The other cool part is that every great once in a while, Etsy will choose your treasury and put it on the front page of their web-site. I have had my treasuries on the front page 3 times and it's very exciting! Why? Who knows...I guess it's just a little slice of fun in the day ;)
