Hello Everyone!

I'm Jewel (and my husband's name is Royall, weird huh?) I'm new to selling on Etsy, I opened my shop in December and didn't post a thing until Jan. I was a buyer for a few years before that.

I had a few "wake-up" calls the first in 2000 (got me thinking) but 2009/2010 blew my mind and I decided it was time to live my life in a way that was satisfying to me because we don't know when it will all go away. So I declared 2012, "The Year of Growth and Advancement" and here I am! It makes me nervous taking risks and putting myself out there. But I'm enjoying it at the same time!

I love to help people when/where I can. I don't mind "convos" or "pins". As I've had a couple of people ask me politely if either was okay. You can ask me anything, I'm here to help, I want you to succeed as well as myself! After all, Etsy is a community right?

Thanks for having me in the team!
Jewel

Hi Jewel. I love your shop.

My name is Susan and I make jewelry from guitar picks and other stuff. I have two other shops on etsy: strumandsparkle.etsy.com for destash and paper items, and oldsusanwilliams.etsy.com for vintage.

I am in school (go 'noles) and so is my daughter (ack - a gator).

Hi Everyone,
Great to hear about ya'll!
My name is Megan Dempsey. I started my shop in December 2011, however I was a buyer for a few years. I am a full-time college student and mother and love making the items I offer. I graduate in August and cannot wait to devote more time to my crafts. I make clothing and accessories for little girls ( hope to branch out soon for boys) and clothing and accessories for women (right now only scarves and headbands, hope to add more items soon)

Hello everyone!
So glad to be part of the team.
My name is Tania and have recently started my little buisness - Tdesign.
All of my designs are handmade by me in my small Sydney studio.
I like to celebrate the imprefections of handmade goods as that's what makes them unique, interesting and beautiful!
I have a range of bright and fun jewellery as well as some simpler classic pieces. I also design a range of cards which are sure to add a smile here and there!
Please feel free to look at my store and I hope you find something you love!

Here are some quick examples of my designs:

Hello. New to selling on Etsy! Have bought my fair share lol. I make tutus, hair bows, the occasional painting, and dog tutus in which all the proceeds go directly towards a local DFW rescue I volunteer for. Im look to give and gain from a goup!

Hello, my name is Courtney and my sisters name is Cassidy. We just opened our shop. Were doing it to raise money for my honeymoon and her school trip to washington DC. I'm hoping to find good ways to increase our sales!

[Former_Member]

Hello Everyone,
I just joined this wonderful team. I saw the list of teams and this one some how called out. I'm glad you all are taking you in with you. Thanks.
By the way that beautiful picture is of my granddaughter (Cynthia). She along with my wonderful daughter give me some idea's on my jewelry line.
I became a widow about 2 years ago, God took my amazing, wonderful husband home with him. I don't think you ever get over it, but you learn to deal with it better each day.
I thank god every day for helping to discover Hand Made Jewelry. I love jewelry, I love making it, wearing it looking at it I guess everything about it.
I am from Ohio but have lived in Oklahoma for 15 years. Then came back here to my home and family. Where is everyone else on here from? Well, thank you for allowing me to join the team. Hope to talk to all of you soon.

[StellarSkirts]

Hi! I just joined Etsy and found your awesome team. I create inexpensive customized animal art portraits, sketch-style. I'm doing this to support the cost of having a dog, which is expensive, and since I love her so much, I'm doing this just for her. I love drawing and I'm finally turning it into something equitable but I do need some help! I'm a little confused and would love to talk to some people on how to get orders, what a treasury is, and such. Thanks in advance!

[Former_Member]

I've been cross stitching and dreaming up my own designs for years. I love to make more modern and fun twists on the genre. The past year I really started kicking production into overdrive and developed enough of an inventory to get a shop started.

I cross stitch during my daughter's naps, but I have a second on the way in May so that might make things a little more difficult!!

[Former_Member]

Playing in the rain, Hunting for treasures All Holidays and cooking..But if you ask me to Bake watch out.

Well, hey y'all,
I'm a Georgia girl, originally from the South West, so I call myself a "Peach Pit" in the South. I love it here and make my pilgrimage back home every year so I can get my desert walks. I am an artist at heart! Oil paintings, jewelry, photography, dance, sewing, make-up artist, and a mother of three and six step-children! I love my family! Because I love my family so much I wanted to work from home to be around them and do what I enjoy most...create.
I have enjoyed looking around at all the talented artist and the beautiful work they create. Fabulous!!
My shop was opened to start selling my boot belts, but I know I will be adding more of my creations (as listed above) to the pile.

Warmly,
Boot Leg Sioux

Hello fellow Estians :)
My name is Amelia and I live in the woods of Northeastern PA with my fiance, our daughter and our cat. I have always been creative and now Etsy lets me take my hobby a little further ^_^

My shop is called EmeraldHollow. I make all natural soaps, body butter, lip balm, and bath bombs. I say all natural because I don't use any stabilizers, emulsifiers, no added chemicals or SLS! Just lovely pure products that are good for your skin :)

I am self-taught, (so needless to say, alot of my first batches were experiments!) LOL No worries though, only the good stuff gets into my shop! New techniques are always trial and error, but I must say it's alot of fun.

I don't plan to make it rich on Etsy, but the extra income is good. I would love to be a stay at home mom, and just ditch the stress of my 9-5 dayjob; A mom can dream right? :P With that said, I am hoping to build my business as much as I can.

I look forward to meeting you all and sharing advice, and btw, I LOVE constructive criticism so toss it at me! ^_^
