Happy Belated Birthday Juls!!! I wished you Happy Birthday over on FB yesterday, but I was at work and I can't maneuver Etsy very well on my phone to do so here. Did you have a great day, were you completely spoiled?

I just created a matching menu for my Shabby Chic Shell wedding set. I've been working so hard getting my Works shop going, can't ignore the wedding shop!

btw, feels so good to NOT be at work today!!!

I hadn't realized I haven't been here in a few days, you all have been a chatty group....COOL!!! Guess I have some catching up to do! :)

PG 5

Thank you all for the congratulations on my new title of "Grandma". He just warms my heart! Already over a week old!!!

Ruth, my boss's granddaughter is really into JoJo Siwa, I had to do a special project for her with Jo Jo...I was like Jo Who??? LOL Maybe you should make some and sell them here on Esty, just be careful about using her name or Etsy will deactivate them. I finally got around to relisting my Jamaica Mahn slippers, just took off all references to Bob Marley. Sounds like you are busy as ever with your grandkids!

Hi Sandy, thank you!

Juls, I was reading up on Tags on Etsy from that huge page filling up my dashboard that I woke up to today (Isn't this supposed to be "MY" dashboard???) Anyway, puncuation doesn't matter with Etsy search engine, it ignores it like I thought. But it could very well be that Google does not, like you said. I think I will do some with commas and some with the slashes. Once they are in the shop, hope the keep looking for more colors or choices.

Ha! Or Lets eatcomma Grandma! LOLOL

Aw, man sorry about the sewing machine repair bill...ouch! That sure doesn't help, but you need it for what you do here. I deparately need a new sofa and Mike and I have started to put aside a little here and a little there for one. Now our friggin' washing machine looks like it's going...it's always something!!!

I love Juls BooBoo Bunnies. I keep them on hand. Every baby shower I'm invited to, the new mom gets one. It's my thing now, hehehe. Well, I can't make a baby blanket for EVERYONE...just family.

Leslie...I check and redo tags and titles every time I relist an item. It's just too boring and time-consuming to try to do them all at one time!!! But it is necessary. Your dolls are awesome!!!

Juls, I think that notifications only list new items. I don't even think renews come up, or changes to pricing. You a crazy woman changing all those prices, then changing them back. 'Etsy on Sale' wouldn't work for doing that?

Yeah, Etsy does seem too concerned with shipping for my taste right now. I agree with you, Juls. I don't think it's ethical to roll the price of shipping into the listing price.

All caught up, H2H

Oooh, I made my first digi-sheet sale the other day in my Works shop and with me adding back crochet items and digi-sheets it has gone from 49 items to 75 items. I'm halfway to the 100 mark, well 3/4 the way technically. :)

I looked at my stats, and they are getting views, so yay!

Off to go work on pics for a new washcloth set. I am trying to get back into the swing of things again!

Thank you, Kat.
Just a low key day here. Everyone at school or work. Son drop off and pick up and drop off to practice and pick up and pick up other son... you get the idea. Hubby barbecued some frozen/thawed meat. It was tasty . Family got me a couple of gifts and a Baskin Robbins log cake. It was nice. They were all asleep by 10.

At midnight, west coast time, I started to remove my sale items.
I found out I have ONE too many hearts on my line for the phone apps. (I wonder if all phones are the same.)

So, I fell asleep by 1 and didn't get all the sales removed. (Check out my shop if you still want a deal!)

[JulsSewCrazy]

Beautiful shell menu, Kat.
Way to bring back the other items!

Lots an LOTS of chat in the forums to get rid of the holiday guide from our dashboards. Etsy is pushing it.

Glad punctuation does not count! I hope the same holds true for Google.

I have an extra washing machine here, if you want it... come and get it. ;P

Etsy On sale might have worked for the words... but I am not sure if I could have added the picture to all... some had all 10 pics taken and I had to choose to delete one. I hand picked all the items to put on sale. It gave me something to do with all my free time. (humph) So now, I am deleting it all and fixing the one extra heart in each line. Just cleaning up each of the listings and my shop.

H2H
Glad you are feeling so great, Kat!
Lat chance on this sale. Was $79 Now $59

[JulsSewCrazy]

Okay... got all items reverted back to their regular price.
No sales on sale items.
Just one one patch (which I am still happy about).

So, It wasted time. It's okay. I did it.
Maybe next year, I will have a one day sale on the 4th of July.
I thought of that this year, but it was too late to do it. So, I did my September one day sale. I will have to learn how to advertise better.
Posting in the forums and on teams was not enough.

Okay... watching the end of Charlie's Angels. Fun memories.

[JulsSewCrazy]

I also deleted two hearts and a line from each row of hearts in every current listing in my shop.
Why?
Well, on the computer, I had one row of
♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥
BUT, on a cell phone, it looks like this:
♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥
~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥
~♥

That one extra heart really bothered me.

[JulsSewCrazy]

I just have to remember to remove that one heart on each listing that I renew. It would bother me later, if I ever saw it. And I would go thru all my listings all over again.... and that is a lot of work.

Maybe I need to get off the computer and get to bed.
Have a good night, Paradise.
For Halloween or for a cold winter:

Happy Belated Birthday JULS!!! Its still Ok for me to wish that all of your dreams come true.
If shipping costs are affecting my SEO, than that explains my sales flatline..my items are heavy, and I always get that .."most sellers charge less than..."blah blah blah when I post a listing in my editing...ARRRGG!!!!!

OK..Ill just go sit in a dark room with the dolls and eat candy corn

[bagsnstuff]

Hi to all

[bagsnstuff]

does any one know how to bring up what I sold in year 2000

I seen before now I can not find it

[bagsnstuff]

HI t0 all

well soon I will be on more

[LetsPartyCupcake]

Morning everyone. Juls sorry I missed your birthday. Happy Birthday! Two more weeks and homecoming will be over.

[H20works]

Hello my Paradise Friends!

This morning before the sun got too bright, I took a bag of crocheted items and my mannequin and my coffee and my camera outside and shot pictures until I ran out of room on my memory card and my battery was running low. Now, to correct all the images and get this stuff listed!!!

Here's my first new item, a new colorway for dishcloths
(my personal favorites)

~~~ NEW!!! NEW!!! NEW!!! ~~~

[H20works]

JULS: Note the "space | space" in the title, lol. I'm going to try to do some items this way, some with commas. I was doing a search on google and on etsy and both ways were coming up on the front pages of both.

[H20works]

Thank you for the Shabby Chic Shell menu love, Juls!

I did catch up with a discussion in the forum about that awful Holiday Guide. This one figured a way to block it, using AdBlock or AdBlock Plus. I did it, and it works!
https://www.etsy.com/teams/7722/discussions/discuss/18834398

Ha! Wish I could just pop over and get your washing machine! Maybe instead of a one day birthday sale, you could have a birthday week sale? Then promote the heck out of it week before and week of.

Leslie, nobody puts baby in a corner!!!

Hi Dianna, not sure why you need to know what you sold in 2000...but go into Orders, Click on the Completed tab, then over to the right, click on oldest. When they come up, they say when they were sold. You can scroll to see them. (Don't forget to put it back to "Date Completed" so you latest sold items come back up on top.

Hiya Sandy, hope your new school year is going great. It will be wonderful to see you in here more often! ♥

Okay, all caught up, I could go pretty up another pic, but I need to go grab lunch and get cleaned up so I can go visit my little Noah before my son goes to softball.

Hope you all enjoy the rest of your Sunday...ugh, work tomorrow.

[JulsSewCrazy]

Hi, Dianna. (see Kat's post above me)
Hi, Leslie. Thanks! I'll take 'em. Yep... shipping effects SEO search. I think that is just wrong. If you want to do like Ebay, then have the option to shop "price plus shipping lowest first". That would be fair.
Hi, Sandy. Thanks! Good luck these 2 weeks.
Hey, Kat. Woohoo! Way to go! Front page is good. Enjoy the baby.

[H20sDigitalWorld]

On my way to work this morning, not much time...

Sold another transferred digi-sheet! WooHoo!
