Calendars are almost ready. I’m still sorting out colors and where the days are going in 2008, but I expect to have them ready and on Etsy by Monday. Yay! Since I haven’t even starting thinking about Christmas, it’s hard to believe I am working so far in advance of 2008. If left to my [...]

So since my launch about a week ago, I’ve gotten some very nice comments and compliments from people (thanks everyone!) And one of my most frequent questions has been, who the heck is Etsy? So yeah, I forget that not everyone might just magically know and love Etsy instantaneously. And of course I’m here [...]
