Although I didn't actually start selling items on Etsy until the middle of January, I technically signed up as a seller on September 7th of last year... Happy Etsyversary to me! I knew from the moment I signed up on Etsy that this was going to become a big part of my life... I had a lot to learn, and that meant I had a lot of research to do. I also needed time to create, which was at a minimum while I was working full time and burning the candle at both ends.
I've come a long way since then, and I've met some amazing people. I've managed to get a few sales under my belt, reprioritize and restructure, and finally put myself in the position to create full time. I've been able to cut out some not-so-productive habits and some not-so-supportive individuals and create an atmosphere of positivity and creativity that I hadn't known existed before. I couldn't be happier, and I'm ready to celebrate!
So on September 7, 2009, my 1 Year Etsyversary, I'll be giving away 3 (yep, THREE!) gift certificates to my shop on Etsy! At 7pm I'll be choosing 3 numbers via the True Random Number Generator on random.org from all eligible entries.
The author of the eligible comment that correlates with the 1st number chosen will receive a $20 gift certificate.
The author of the eligible comment that correlates with the 2nd number chosen will receive a $10 gift certificate.
The author of the eligible comment that correlates with the 3rd number chosen will receive a $5 gift certificate.

Happy Etsyversary! I love your note about how your business has evolved over the past year--you are truly an inspiration to us all! Now in you shop, I must say that I am loving the Steaming Cafe Cuties because (you already know this) I have a weakness for coffee/caffeine--let me pause here and take a sip of my Cafe Americano.
You know how to reach me--but to make life easier:
