I am obsessed!

[PearlesPainting]

I constantly have my itty bitty Etsy Business on my mind!
I use my lap top at night as a pillow when I sleep at night...dreaming about my Etsy shop!
Every where I go I leave a Card for my Etsy shop.
Everybody I speak to I mention my Etsy shop.
I wake up thinking about my Etsy shop....
I fall alseep thinking about my Etsy shop.
I am constantly thinking about what I can paint and then list in my Etsy shop.
People around me finish all my sentences for me now w/....My Etsy shop.
Now...when I read a fortune cookie I end it w/ in My Etsy Shop! (instead of In Bed)
I have been completely hooked now for a year....
I have it bad!
Is anybody else like totally obsessed w/ their shop?

Hahaha! I love this! I agree with you completely! I am constantly thinking about my Etsy! I am a fairly new Etsian, well at least I have become serious about sales lately. I am always running to the craft store & think on new items to create! I just went through the thrill of making business cards! Even when I am at work I try to slip away to check my account! I am twenty years old & I am not obsessed with Facebook, I'm obsessed with Etsy!

I think my friends and family are getting tired of my going on and on about my shop, jewelry, marketing, selling, etc. It's always on my mind.

I live and breathe it. And I work at Michaels so I'm not even safe at work - all it takes is to spot a new bead or piece of paper and my mind is racing all day. It's a sickness - and I hope they never find a cure!

[Former_Member]

I wished I worked at Michaels! That it totally awesome! I work at PetSmart so I am constantly thinking about putting my little bows on the dogs that come in!

[DifferentCharms]

Yes - it is fading somewhat, but it's still on my mind a lot.

[PearlesPainting]

Good to know! Good to know! Good to know I am not alone~
I love going to Micheal's. I place my card in random places at the one near me.
I even stick my card to the mirror in the ladies room...where ever I might use one.
I give them to anybody who makes eye contact w/ me...LOL

Working at Michaels is great - hard to hold onto the paycheck, though!

[Former_Member]

Wish I could do that Pearle but I'd get fired! Maybe I should try it at JoAnns huh?

[PearlesPainting]

Where I live...Micheal's & A.C. Moore are right across the street from each other. It is wicked convenient. They are like 5 minutes away....I go there a lot.

[PearlesPainting]

R.Rizzi....Totally go to JoAnns! LOL

I will feel upset if there are no orders shown on my iphone when I get up every morning.
Every time my phone rings I will ask myself,is this message concerned with Etsy?is it an order or a conversation?

[Former_Member]

Guilty of all of the above.....:)

[RainbowMittens]

OMG,Guys!
WE are really crazy!!!
I have the same problems!

I just wish I could click something to stop thinking about Etsy.

[barebranchjewelry]

Oh dear... Atleast I'm not the only one!!

[BeMyBee]

Totally obsessed here too! Constantly thinking about supplies and what I can make with them.

[Former_Member]

I love this post! Thought I was the only one like that. I will often stay up until 1 am making something only to realize I have to be up in a few hours to get ready for work. But, lack of sleep is ok when you lose it doing something you love! I just got my first ever business cards today and can't wait to hand them out and leave them places. :)

[LetterLuxe]

I eat, sleep and dream my Etsy shop, too! My sales continue to increase, so it must be working :)

[LaLindaArtStudio]

Guilty!

I just today started planning a second shop as a Co-Op and I am still obsessing on my shop that I only just started in December....can you say OCD!

[Former_Member]

Omg! Same here! I totally agree with you Cindy !
That is me every single day! I can't work during the day but I do it all night into the morning because I loooooove it soooooo much it is actually sick!
But I can't help it, it keeps me alive and happy!
I think like some of you said, when you enjoy something so much it doesn't feel like work.

Sometimes I think is too much: I watch tv but I'm looking over my iPhone to check the feed, my stats, check on groups... Maybe draw a little?
It's crazy , but I know I have to tone it down , and separate my " work" from home .

:D

Thank you Pearle! I think we all feel better knowing we aren't alone in our obsession!

[InnerBloomHealing]

Lovely obsession! I just maxed out my circle or I'd add you all! How does that happen?! And more sales plz!! New and figuring this all out!!:)9

[IstriaDesign]

Guilty as well. It's a disease, but I am not complaining. Even though it gets overwhelming at times, I love every minute of it. Thanks for sharing this, I think we all feel better now :)

[Former_Member]

I am definitely in the same situation! I JUST LOVE ETSY!
