Welcome to Chit-Chat!

[#1]

Hello everyone! Please take the time to introduce yourself! What you like, what you don't like, (What is my neighbor doing in their yard?!) What your neighbors are like, etc.

I am the team captain, Amelia Thompson. I LOVE Tolkien and Star Wars, with lots and lots of video games under my belt!

Hey everyone! We're Stephen and Rachel from Indiana, thank you for the invite. :) Happy to be here.

I (Rachel) will be the one 90% of the time posting on here, just to let everyone know. We make candles and tarts from our home. My husband is in charge of the money we spend, money we make, shipping, and making the candles (though I am learning in case business really picks up). I am more on the secretary side of things. I also do the majority of the advertising. He works a factory job 40+ hours a week, and I go to college. I'm graduating in the fall. We love doing what we do and often we see familiar faces. Etsy has been very good to us so far, and we're excited about Christmastime this year! Stephen is 24 and I'm 22, so we're kind of young, but we've been making candles for a couple of years now. :) We love sports, vacations, movies, music, crafting, etc.

Hi, thanks for the invite!
My name is Kristen. This is my 3rd Etsy shop. I live in Florida now, but want to move in the near future (hate the heat!!!). I love chocolate, coffee, jigsaw and sudoku puzzles, and crafty stuff. I love animals. I'm single, 37, and sadly no kids except my furry ones (1 cat and 2 rabbits).

[RadicalWorks]

Wow Kristen, your third shop?!

Kudos to you for being able to keep up with three shops! :D

Greetings!
My husband and I are recently retired. We both took up our love of painting which we had given up in the past, being too busy to pursue with work and everyday stresses. We live quietly with our three wonderful dogs, painting and just enjoying life.
I totally enjoy managing our Etsy store. I find the Etsy community to be one of fellowship and fun!

Hi everyone----waves-----

So glad to have found this team!

I love knitting, reading, and watching tennis. Yes I'm addicted to watching pro tennis. I know that many people think it's boring, but it's not if you pick a "boyfriend" to watch.

I live in Sylvania OH---right next to Toledo. I'm a fulltimer on Etsy. I retired 8 years ago and I'm loving.

Looking forward to chatting with you all.

Hello! I was invited a while ago, but just got around to checking out the team. I'm concerned, though, because it doesn't look like people have posted in a while!

I do fine art, painting, drawing, photography, printmaking, sculpting, graphic design, jewelry making, and pretty much any other creative media I can get my hands on! I'm a geek. I love video games, board games, tabletop games, and spending time on the Internet. I also love cute and colorful things! I have another shop called Dorky Dino where I make cute little animal characters and make them into a variety of different types of products.

[RadicalWorks]

@Brandi - I believe the team might be waiting for me to post threads, but I always encourage folks to start threads and begin chatting.

I don't want to be the one to always running my mouth. Lol

Welcome to the team!

[BrandiMillerArt]

Haha I know what you mean! If I think of anything I'll try starting some new threads! Thanks!

Hi everyone! I'm Lauren.

I. Love. COLORS. I've had some awesome jobs which highlight my interests pretty well. I've been a physical geography tutor, a chocolate hand-dipper in a (marvelous) mom and pop candy shop, and my favorite past job as a librarian splitting my time between the front circulation desk and helping the children's librarians. Now I'm adjusting to being a homemaker wife to the most wonderful guy (who lives and breathes computer programming and all that related nerdom, and who has also started his own business this past year and is working from home). And then there is my Etsy shop. Yay!

i am into non sharing

[Former_Member]

Hello! I am Morgan. So glad I found this group! I miss the "getting to know each other" aspect of Etsy since the chat rooms went away.

About me: I'm a 30 yr old stay at home mom. I have a son who is 2 years old, and I am expecting our second baby! I have a Bassett hound named Prim and a pet turtle named Jack. I have a degree in theatre and stage managed for a little while but now I enjoy staying home with the kids. Hopefully I'll get back into it when they are a little older :-)

I live in FL but I'm originally from Maine. I miss the north pretty bad! But I love the beach so it's all good :-) I love all things crafty. I enjoy painting even though I'm not really good at it. I also love to crochet. I taught myself how with YouTube videos! My shop is for digital scrapbook paper which has been pretty fun learning how to make :-)

Glad to be here!

Hi Everyone,

I joined this group just to listen to the chit chat and maybe join in.

I'm retired and was considering moving to the beach, but for financial reasons decided to move to the Columbia Gorge (much more inexpensive). We have been here for about a year and a half and love the sun and the beautiful scenery.

My interest are playing with my grandchildren, gardening, making jewelry and hiking.

Looking forward to meeting y'all. Take Care.
