Im going to start with a set of my jars made it to the Home & Living main image and my views are crazy!! Im in shock my picture is there! Like I cannot believe it!! lol

Now if it could include some sales! ha ha!

I dont want to post in the main forum but, I had to share with someone! :D

[Former_Member]

[Former_Member]

[Former_Member]

Im famous now! You aint' famous till you make it to somethingawful.com!

[Former_Member]

[Former_Member]

[Former_Member]

[Former_Member]

Thank you. :)


How is everyone's week going?

[Former_Member]

Sick this week. Getting NOTHING done. So Frustrating.

[Former_Member]

I hate those days Sara! Hope you feel better soon! :)

[Former_Member]

Stopping in to say hello! How are the blogs coming? I finally did a couple posts, I was a slacker!

[Former_Member]

The team captain is not allowed to be a slacker! ;-D

I don't know what's gotten into me but I've actually managed to do a couple of blog posts, too. I finally thought of something to write that wasn't strictly promotional.

[Former_Member]

Ha ha I know, right! Dont do as I do do as I say! he he

I try to do my 'promo' type posts to be more fun. I blog solely for promo and SEO so I try my best not to make my blog feel like its just 'promo'. lol

Im banned from the forums for 7 days so maybe I'll get another post done! ha ha

[Former_Member]

I started a weekly sketch challenge and did my first feature of other shops! No submissions for the sketch challenge so far, but I think the feature brought in a couple new readers!

I didn't realize you could get banned from the forums! :(

[Former_Member]

Cool April! Just keep trucking with it. :D

You sure can get banned! lol They banned me yesterday. Im banned from a couple 'snarky' comments in a thread from about a week ago... it closed! One time I posted a 'promo' link so it was my '3rd strike'. (I posted a link to a sale at Hostgator for hosting... so many people ask about websites so I shared the sale link trying to help... didnt know we weren't allowed, that was my first 'strike'.)

[Former_Member]

That's too bad! Do you get to start your three strikes over again once you get back?

[Former_Member]

Probably not... They told me Im on the verge of a permanent ban. My two comments were actually very tame, same thread. I cant believe they were flagged. I was defending other sellers... It was a troll thread! lol The thread closed last week and I just got banned yesterday! Oh well.

[VintageRescueSquad]

Banned!?!? You rabble-rouser.

[Former_Member]

I know, Im terrible!! lol Or should I say 'muting'. Ive use many forums over the years and its always a 'ban'. This is my first 'ban' in all my years! ;( lol

[Former_Member]

I hope the long pages come back! My views went up with the long pages, how about you?

[Former_Member]

My boyfriend is watching one of those shows shortage wars shows. Its on in the background... I hear cha ching talk, Etsy cha chings on TV and they talk about the 'cha ching' for a quick second. Too funny. Just had to share.

[Former_Member]

Hows it hangin' everyone?

[Former_Member]

They bought my jars and blogged about them! :D Lonny online magazine. Had to share!

Anyone ever hear of them? They are new to me.

[Former_Member]

I haven't but congrats! That's great! they posted a really flattering photo.

I've been just trying to get my sketch challenge off the ground. I started a team for it and hope that gets more applicants. They last couple posts have just been me taking part. :( lol I'm keeping at it though, hoping to drum up some interest if I keep posting about it.

[Former_Member]

Thanks April. They did take a great picture! Ive received about 30 hits from the site in the past two days so thats cool! :)

Hopefully it works out with the team! The sketch challenge sounds cool.
