How I package my goods!
I got a sale today and decided it would be perfect to show how I package my items!
After I print what I need out:
PayPal Invoice.
Thank you card.
2 Business Cards.
Hair Clip handling instructions
Hair clip with name of item & price.
On the back is my Etsy and email.
Then they're held together with a paperclip and ready to go!
Sorry for the bad pictures, I didn't bother trying to take stunning pictures with this :P

How did you get interested in what you do?
I've always been a crafty person. As a kid I always liked to make things. One of the first things I was complemented on at school was how neat my colouring in was. Soon, all the kids in my class wanted me to colour in their stuff for them!
As I got older I started to take up cross stitch. Then when I was in high school I got a weekend job in a craft store. It was the best job in the world because I got to be around everything crafty all day, and get paid for it! It was at this job that I learned alot about rubber stamping and card making, and I was soon passing this info onto inquiring customers. Ever since then I've been making cards in my spare time.
How long have you been doing your craft?
Pretty much for 6 or 7 years, but only started to do it frequently in the last year. Before this past year I made cards mostly for family occasions. I have moved around alot since the age of 18, which has not been compatible with stockpiling card making stuff. But right now I am settled in the US for the near future, so have started to increase my inventory of supplies. In July of this year I found out about Etsy and couldn't wait to open a shop selling my cards.
Do you sell anywhere besides Etsy?
Yes. I also have a shop on ShopHandmade.com. This is my shop http://Chellebellecards.ShopHandmade.com
Where else can we find you?
I have a blog: http://chellebellecards.blogspot.com/

I also plan to make a facebook site soon.

Always look at your old items.
Always go back and look at your first 5 listed items in your shop. Do they own up to your standards now?
My first few pictures to me are horrendous. So before you go and renew those, update those pictures and revamp those descriptions, would you buy them?
I'm planning on making a list of pictures I need to retake and descriptions that need to be redone.
This is also a good way on seeing how much you've improved on your work, descriptions, pictures and tags as well.
Before taking that stop to the Critiques section, critique your shop yourself. Go to your shop in the shoes of a buyer and ask yourself: Would you buy it?

How did you get interested in what you do?
I have been a woodworker for over 35 years and I started making spoons as a way to use leftover scraps of wood that would otherwise be discarded or burned.
How long have you been doing your craft?
I've been making spoons for at least 15 years.
Do you sell anywhere besides Etsy?
I sell at a local gallery called Lucky Dog in Rockland, Maine and I occasionally do craft fairs.
Where else can we find you? (Social networking sites, etc)
At the moment Etsy is the only place I sell online.

Well congrats to me.
I made it to 500 hearts today! (503 in total).
What I did was hang out in the Chatroom and Forums in Etsy. :D
That's the best advertisement, I swear!
503 hearts
10 people are new
within the last day
I also have 8 different item hearts, which is awesome!
I just hope some people are looking towards my stuff for Christmas ;)
