Happy 4th of July. I have a real day off!! I decided to take it easy - going to a bbq pool party shortly.
I happened to log onto my Etsy account and was presently surprised to find a sale!! Now more ideas are floating thru my brain, and I want to get into work mode. Or as I like to call it - my creative mode, because I don't feel like I'm working when I make cards. I find it a real struggle having a shop online verses a booth at a farmer's market. I have contact with people and get all kinds of great feedback at the craft market. While my online shop is sometimes so quiet, I swear I can hear crickets! I get feedback from some customers, but not all the time. I can rearrange my craft booth adding cute baskets filled with card packs, etc., but I find it a lot harder to revamp my online shop. I am going to hire my son-in-law's brother to create a new banner for me. Then I plan on adding lots more items.
I just put things out on my tables at the craft market, but Etsy takes a whole lot longer with lots of pictures and good descriptions. Then trying to let people know I exist out there is a huge challenge. So my motto for today is Easy Does It. I am tired from spending my few days off working on my online shop and market booth. So today I am trying to do as little as possible. For a workaholic like me that's not easy!!
