Oh yay!!! I know! Crazy that you get paid and just need to ship, LOL.

[Former_Member]

You guys are really inspiring!! I'm so excited for all of you!! Keep it up!! =D

[Former_Member]

I have had 5 sales this week, more than I have ever had, it is so exciting!

[Former_Member]

Yay Acire!!! Congratulations! Wishing you more and more each day!

I had 4 orders in 6 days in April! I hope this continues on and on and on! And they were to the most awesome customers, too!

And, I finally made the decision to treat this business like a real business. I don't rely on Etsy to pay the mortgage (yet) but I decided to treat it like I did rely on it. So, goodbye distractions and hello accounting! lol

[Former_Member]

Christina! That is GREAT!!! Congratulations! And yes! When you treat your craft like a business, it really does help with the eventual transition!

*Runs from accounting! = D JK, just finished the rest of mine for March! Wooo!

Just got my first big order (big for me at least). 8 from the same person!!

[Former_Member]

Yeahhhhh Shana!!!!! Did you happy dance?? = D

I logged on Etsy just now and noticed I had 1000 admirers! Woot woot! :D

Gongrats, Shana, that's huge! :)

I think I just got my first custom scroll order! I have had a lot of people ask, but nothing went through but I think this one is really going to happen! I hope I do a good job and they love it!!! and they really buy it in the end lol. I am so excited!

[Former_Member]

Yay Molly!!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! I would definitely suggest getting paid FIRST before starting any work.

Congrats Cheeky Rose, that's great!

Hey Jacque! You changed your avatar! It's awesome, you're so pretty!
Is there a particular reason?

[Former_Member]

Super cool Cheeky!! That looks so cool! Congrats, I hope it brings lots of exposure and sales!

Thanks so much Christina!! No big reason! Just wanted to make an appearance and give a face to my name. = D Maybe it will be more personable for shoppers?

[Former_Member]

YAY!!!!!!!!!!! Go team!

I sold that custom order and then 2 more scrolls after that! I really need to get my butt going and finish some more scrolls!!!!

[Former_Member]

I got 7 sales in the last 5 days (two of which are multiple sales) and I'm working with an awesome customer for a BIG order for her wedding. I'm so excited!
I'm 100$ short of my revenue goal so I will exceed my goal by far with 14 days left in the month + that big order.
Yay!!

[Former_Member]
