Etsy Shop Update

I’m excited to share my new item on my Etsy shop. Custom tree trunk heart rings! My first sample ring has my firefighter initials and mine. Perfect for Valentine’s Day right?

Bad Day, Good Day

Yesterday, I had a very interesting day. At work, the chaos began with a black out. The bad, good, and ugly can out of working in customer service. I had understanding customers and those that just make you want to walk out and say, "I quit!" But lucky, I work with a great group of people, that like myself try to play it cool under pressure. At least, I can admit that the sucky parts of my job has made me learn how to think quick on my feet. After the storm was over, I though to myself... well I can finally use those Dookey Key Covers that I was saving for a crappy day to do a giveaway on my blog.

So, here it goes...

DOOKEY KEY COVER GIVEAWAY!

The FIRST 4 PEOPLE who leave me a comment sharing a crappy day they had and how it got better, if it did, will get 1 Dookey Key Cover. Please don't forget to included your email address so I may contact you for your mailing address. I know that there's 6 key coves but I am keeping one for myself and mailing one out to my brother for his work keys. He has crappy work days too.

When I arrived home from work and read my emails, like always, I was thrilled to see that one of my headbands from my new Etsy shop "Que Bownita" was included in a treasury titled, "Ready to Play??" The treasury reminds me of the fun, bright, and happy childhood colors. Talk about a nice surprise after a crazy work day.

While typing this post and trying to link everything. I noticed that someone else included another one of my headband on a Etsy treasury! Wow, what a turn of events! I'm so excited! This treasury is titled, "Newbies - New shops - Support Handmade."

I hope everyone has a great today!

Instant Memories To Go

I finally put my Polaroid themed items on my shop! I made two brooches and one magnet. I had them done since Christmas but hadn’t had a chance to take pictures of them and do all that good stuff you need to do to get your items up on Etsy. I finally got a chance to put them up today since it’s my day off. I have three more Polaroid themed brooches I want to create. My goal is to get them done is month. I love making these because I’m one of those people who always carry their camera with them wherever they go. Plus, I love wearing brooches too! My family and friends call me the crazy tourists because I take so many pictures.

This one I sold in September 2010. I want to make a new one that says, “Family Paparazzi” for people like me!

Custom Justin Bieber Pins on Sale

Courtney got so much positive feedback on her custom Justin Bieber pin at work that I had to put one on sale on my Etsy shop. I’m offering an introductory price of $6.95 for the first customer. Hopefully, it will be a big hit and I can add some more to my shop. Wish me luck!

The picture above is of Courtney and her sister at the midnight showing of Justin Bieber’s “Never Say Never.” And, look she’s wearing her pin!
