Good morning team!

Blake woke me up at 6.00, but as it's my day off I decided to go back to sleep after letting him out in the garden. He left me alone for another 2 hours bless him! So you have my dog to thank if this chat is not getting opened even later lol.

Thank you everybody for your advice on Twitter etiquette, I think I'll just reply with a simple thank you if somebody makes a nice comment on one of my items, it won't hurt.

Monday = RAK day , Random Acts of Kindness:) Lets start the week by putting a smile on a team mate's face, fave bomb a shop or 2, make a treasury, a little purchase, anything you can think off. You don't have to tell us what you've done if you wish to remain anonymous.

Have a great day everybody!

[ItsSewYouDear]

Good morning!

Yay for sleeping in! I on other hand have been up for 20 hours, yikes! I will get right to bed when I get off work:)

I managed to put together one team treasury:

https://www.etsy.com/treasury/MTQzNTc3ODR8MjcyNjU4OTgzMA/hooray-to-yellow-and-gray?ref=pr_treasury

Will be back later for more RAKs..

Happy Monday all!

[naturepoet]

I'm glad that Blake let you go back to bed for a while, Val. A couple of extra hours sleep helps once in a while.

I always love RAK day. It's fun to help others out.

Candi, going now to check out your treasury and then on to do a RAK for someone.

[Former_Member]

Good morning -

Glad to hear you got to sleep in today Val. Always nice to do on a Monday.

I will stop back later on to work on my RAKs for today. Busy day ahead at work today.

Have a great day!

[Former_Member]

First RAK done will be back for more

[DCArtandPhotography]

Morning!

1 bout of RAK done, not sure when I will have time for more, I accepted a new job offer and start today!!! I have been waiting on this one for 2.5 weeks now! Better pay, more opportunities, and after training it will be closer to home! Yay! I am so excited! :)

Meanwhile, I have a bunch of new items piling up to take pictures of, but the sun has NOT been co-operating. :(

[Chockrosa]

HI GUYS! :DDD

I'm back from the summer house :) It was a lovely month and the weather have been (and still is) outstanding! It has been around 30*C almost every day for the last 3 weeks. I have no idea what's going on with the weather, but I love it! :D

This summer have been amazing. One of the best summers in my life both with the weather and everything else. It has been tentfiesta, crawfish party, gaming nights, Nyköpings party weekend, campfires nights out on islands, late night bathing, etc. And I got a new electric boat motor that I'm in love with and have been cruising around in my little rowing boat in total silence, Minn Kota <3.
It is too warm in the water for the fishes tho but I don't' care because it is like being on a greece vacation in the water! It is 25-26C outside of the summer house so you bet I have been a lot in the water this summer!! And I have a nice tan! Yeah, yeah skin cancer. I need this tan when the sun is only up for 4 hours in the winter (whyyyyyyy :'( I don't want to think about it! Why can't the sun stay?)

Even though I was living at the summerhouse and didn't put up any new things for the whole July, it has been my best month. I'm so happy!!

I'm going to do some rak in the evening, right now it is too hot so I'm actually on the way back to the summerhouse, but just for the day. Me and my bf and some other are going out in the boat to bath for an hour or two.

I wish you all a great day!

[homecraftframing]

Val, Blake does not mean to wake you so early but he cannot figure out the roman numberals. You need to get a new clock. LOL!!! I know what you are going through, been there myself. Although, Prissy use to like to get up at 3:00 am to go outside and sniff. I hope you got back to sleep and have plans for today of doing only the things you enjoy doing.

Candi, Thank you for including my frame in your lovely treasury. Have a wonderful day!

Caroline, You always seem to enjoy what you are doing regardless of the weather. I love the pictures you send!

Good Morning Mary, John and Charlene!

I have to get some packages ready to go to the Post Office. I will be back later to do my RAKS. RAKS are the only reason I like Mondays!

[NisesNostalgia]

Good morning everyone! I'll be back to chat later, but wanted to post my RAK treasuries for today.

https://www.etsy.com/treasury/MTU1MzQ0ODd8MjcyNjQzNDk0MA/anchors-aweigh

Another one coming a little later. Went to list it, and an item had sold since last night!

[NisesNostalgia]

Here's the other one. Gotta go to work, so be back later.

[RedRiverValley]

Good Morning all,

Dona, I couldn't agree more. RAKs are the only reason I like Mondays too. It is soo hard to get up for work on Mondays. When sales are consistent enough and I can support my family, getting up for work won't be a problem!

Charlene, that's great news about your new job. I hope it is everything you want it to be!

Caroline, so happy to hear you had a great time at your summer home! You were definitely missed on the team! Great work on a successful July!

I am off to do some RAKs. I've favorited all the items in Candi's lovely treasury!

[Former_Member]

Good morning, everyone!

RAK done.

Val, glad Blake let you sleep in a few extra hours.

Caroline, welcome back! Glad you had a great time at your summer house.

I was going to take pictures today, but my sister has papers spread all over the dining room table, so there's no room for my light tent and lamps. I'm giving her til tomorrow to clean up.

My office desk is vastly empty with my machine in the shop. I have no idea how long it will take; it might be a week. So I'll have to find other things to do while I wait for it to come back.

Have a great day, team!

[Former_Member]

Welcome back Caroline!

I had mentioned my flash sale last week. It went well. I sold 3 listings out of 15.

Haven't done my rak's yet. Here's my renewed listing:

[GlensWorkshop]

Good Morning Everyone,

It's nice to be here early enough to actually type that for a change!

It looks like another cool, damp day here in Valdez. We may go visit a couple of museums.

Thanks to Denise and Candi for including my items in their great treasuries. I'll finish all the promoting in a little while. The others will be promoted as well.

Val - good that you got some extra rack time on RAK day! Ha Ha. What would we do without our pets?

Charlene - congrats on the new job! Much success to you.

Caroline - glad you're having a wonderful summer! Upper 80s F would be really nice here in southern AK but the natives would be dying. They think 21 C is hot. It has seldom gotten to 18 C or better.

Off to get some RAK time in.

Have a great day everyone.

[ZingRetroFinds]

Hi Team mates,

Caroline, your summer sounds fabulous.

Charlene, Congrats on the new job. Hope your first day goes well.

RAK done. Here is my latest AAA treasury https://www.etsy.com/treasury/MzY1NTQyMDl8MjcyNjU5MTc5MA/woody-items-from-etsy-aaa-support-team

Christine, thanks for including me in your lovely treasury.

Will be going on a mini vacation later this week with my husband. Back to Chatham, NY for fun, friends, and family visits.

Have a good one!

[Former_Member]

Hi everyone! Hope we've all had a good day so far! I'm going to make a few team treasuries today an will come back to post them later!

[Former_Member]

Also! Got my first from someone else's listing view, so weird, no idea where from!

[GlensWorkshop]

Donna - thanks very much for the great position in your lovely wood treasury! Promoted it heavily!

Four RAKs done so far and will try to do more later.

[Former_Member]

Here's one!

[NisesNostalgia]

Thanks Candi, Dona Bekka and Donna for including me in your wonderful treasuries!

Charlene, good luck in your new job!

Caroline, sounds like you had a wonderful vacation.

Hafsa, congrats on a successful flash sale! Are you going to do nor again?

Got to run to post office and get back to work!

[homecraftframing]

Okay everyone, since I seldom make a Treasury, I would appreciate if you would Fave the heck out of it. I believe I have it right, if not, please let me know. Thank You! I have more RAKS to do but I have to get to the Post Office first.

Started the above at 11:00 am
Well, guess what I did, I went to the Post Office and the grocery store but I forgot to post this reply. I am more loopy now than when I had surgery. Go Figure!

[910woolgathering]

Three rounds RAK done

relisted these three items

https://www.etsy.com/listing/184975337/crochet-infant-afghan-newborn-baby?

Had another respite from the heat, but back to the AC weather again. Still need to get the garage organized enough to process wool in preparation of spinning again.

Had a quiet weekend

While I am on a roll, I have done another Treasury of New Members, show their items some love.

[Former_Member]

Evening,
I'll do some RAKs after this, but what beautiful treasuries so far :) shown all of them some love :)
Welcome back Caroline, your summer sounds absolutely wonderful!! Rather jealous over here!! No, just glad you had a fab time ;)
I'm so excited!!!! I've got my first repeat customer!!! A lady from Canada brought my lilac baby bonnet, loves it and wants another in pale pink!! Very very very excited!! I was a little worried when I had to explain to her that when she brought the first bonnet I was running a shop sale which has since ended, meaning she will have to pay more for this second one, but she was more than happy to pay the extra, saying that it's well worth twice the price!!! #OnCloudNine!!
Right time for plenty of heartbombing me thinks!!

[GlensWorkshop]

Bekka - thank you for including my pen box in your great fall collection. It got my full promotion treatment.

Dona - great idea on the treasury of new members. I viewed and Faved all the items. Also viewed and faved your other treasury.

Two more RAKs completed.
