Etsy & CraftCult

Do you have an Etsy shop? I've dabbled once before with starting an Etsy (the world's favorite online handmade marketplace) shop. But in the long run, I never followed through with it. Now with winter approaching, I"ll have more time and have decided to try it again.
I love it that you can sell handmade items as well as crafting supplies. I usually order oodles of craft supplies because from most wholesalers you have to order in bulk. And that always leaves me with lots of crafting supplies left over. I know I could save them for next year and so on, but my shelves are full. So this week, I am making a goal to try to clean them out a bit. I can't wait to see how this goes. lol.
Another great thing I've ran into when fiddling with Etsy is the cool plugin for blogs. It's from the site CraftCult and it puts like a virtual shopping box on your blog of your shop. It's really cool and free. See it in action here on my blog.
Here's what my lil store facing looks like on my blog from CraftCult:

What I Enjoy: Country Living

I enjoy the look of country in my home. Therefore I mostly follow the primitive theme when decorating.

I am crafty by nature, well let's say I try to be anyways, lol, and that is the reason you see many photos of the items I have made or redone. When I can't find something in the stores that I like, I try to make it, or redo a current item I have to fit my likeings.

So if you also enjoy re-doing items, or like the primitive decorating theme, you may enjoy my posts here and located also on my blog. Some of the things I redo also end up for sale in my Peddlers Mall booth also.

Do you like the country theme in your home?

(pic above: Martha Washington Sewing cabinet I won at an auction for $1 and an antique side chair that only costed me $2~ I just love them!)

Do you blog?

Do you blog?

I was just closing out the evening by visiting sites that I have written down in my organizer. I have a list that I like to view on occassion to see how things are going. And one of those sites is Google Adsense.

Google's Adsense is basically a program that allows you to get paid by allowing Google to place targated ads onto your blog or website. I like it but the earnings come in slow. And I mean slow!

And what's even more said is that traffic is down considerably also on my other blog, Old Crow Prims. I am not sure why that is. Well, it has never been in the fast lane of viewing anyways. But believe me, when I log on and just see 5 views a day, I get all excited! Just knowing someone is interested in your posts is awesome. But then again, they may have gotten there by total accident. Who knows? lol. Either way, I am estatic just to see my counter climb, even by if only a few views a day.

So anyways, that all leads me to the question I started out with in my head when beginning this post.

Do You Have a Blog? If so, feel free to leave me a link. I'd like to check it out!

Do you have any creative ways to drive traffic to your blog?

Organizing My Life

I am trying to get myself organized tonight. For the good of the Comments Club I'm in, and for the upkeep of my blog. And for just basically a little structure for my everyday chaotic life. So I actually went out and bought a monthly planner for 2011. And I am already marking weekly and some daily online activities which need to be taken care of.

So many of these, I unintentionally (spell check) neglect. And then when I do remember them, I feel so bad. I do manage to keep up with alot of stuff on time. So I know I can do this.

Right now, I'm sitting here brainstorming, trying to remember all the sites that I love to visit either on a daily or weekly level. And for the life of me, I can only think of about 3. lol. I know theres like 20 more floating around in my mind. I'm sure they will come to me.

So for now, gonna call it a night here and work in my planner. Maybe I will go through my favorites list and see what's in there.

Happy Gathering!

Do you keep a daily planner to help with online activities?

Sex Appeal & Bikers?

Sex Appeal & Bikers?

Do the two go hand in hand? Do you think that bikers pack more of a punch when it comes to sex appeal?
