oh my. front page joy.

so i'm out with J doing property inspections (and sneaking off to have lunch) when my blackberry goes off and it's Julie.  with a bbm telling me that i'm on the front page of etsy.  in a treasury that she made!  (see the shot of her computer screen above?)  seriously, it totally made my day - plus, in the hour that it was up, i received over a 1000 views of my DIY stack of sterling skinny rings, 30 new shop hearts, and tons of miscellaneous traffic!  it couldn't have been a better advertising opportunity.  so thank you again, Julie - for putting me on your wish list!  (and hey - your new pretties are in the mail!!!!)

Overwhelmed and Underpaid!!!!! (But Look at the Front Page!)

Do you ever have those days where you just feel like your "To Do" list just keeps getting longer... and more convoluted... and more confusing? And then you throw allergies and a headache on top of it all? :) Well, today was one of those days - we're in the process of buying a car and at work i've been part of a planning committee for a huge team event tomorrow. It felt like i crammed 100 phone calls, a meeting, tons of photocopying and the baking of 100 chocolate chip cookies into an hour!!!!! and then to top it all off, a client decides to go ballistic on me.

needless to say, i was soo happy to leave the office finally!

there was a pretty bright spot in this hectic day though - one of my items was on the front page in twobeans' awesome beach-themed treasury on etsy! (http://twobeans.etsy.com/) the muffin top shop got plenty of traffic today! thanks, twobeans!
