Hi, and welcome to Successful Online Moms Etsy team! This thread is for new members to introduce themselves and tell us about yourself, where you are from, and if you have an Etsy store what you sell. I'll get us started:

My name is Shanna and I'm the owner of Huckleberry Hearts Digital Designs. I'm a wife, mom of 2 kids, and a business owner. I'm from the great state of Michigan, in the US. Its the only place in the world shaped like a mitten, so I can point on my hand and show you where I live! I have two passions, business and graphic design.

Hi!

My name is Tobie, but many know me as Kham these days. I have not had much time here on Etsy, nor any sales yet - but I have hopes ~smiles~

I'm a mom to 3 kiddos (B-G twins 12yo, and a son of 14). I have some interesting health issues going on that makes my shop items change a small bit with the seasons - as the body allows. Hopefully I will be able to turn my passions into my income.

Thank you for allowing me to join this wonderful group!

[Sensorbility]

Hi I'm Sarah my mom is Kate together with my son we opened sensor-bilitY in 2013 but 2014 was really our breakout year. I am a stay at home mom of 2 amazing boys 11 and 2 and my items are designed for both of them. We got started because my 11 year old has autism and struggled finding sensory items that worked for him. We live in NH where there are few resources and online magazines were ridiculously expensive. We began taking him to the fabric store and having him choose things he enjoyed and making things that worked. Over time other people in our "community" would give us suggestions so we are always evolving. We donate items regularly as our main passion is providing items to all kids who may need them. We have recently included my sister who is a pre-k teacher into our shop who makes our sensory tables and tests many of our products in her classroom.

[aquadecorator]

Hi, I'm Debbie and have been on Etsy since 2011. I have 2 shops. This shop for jewelry and decoupaged items and my other is vintage items. I named my other shop MyDadsParadise because he would buy beautiful things for my mother and I've put them in my shop. He loved glassware, china and porcelain things. We lost him 5 yrs ago so I opened the shop in memory of the special dad he was to me. Go take a look!

I am 59 yrs old and have one son who's 32 and unmarried. I have 2 stepchildren also. My son lives an hour away from me in Pittsburgh so I get to visit him often. I live in Youngstown, Ohio, a small town, so I love to visit Pittsburgh not only to see my son, but to shop!

Thank you for inviting me! It's nice to read about all your lives. Good luck to you all!
Debbie

Hi everyone, I'm Carla, I'm a military spouse, a mother of 3 beautiful children. I just opened my etsy shop:-).
I'm very new to etsy, my shop has beautiful handmade phone cases that my cousin back from home (Venezuela) and I made it.
We are really popular back home but living now here in the United States we love the idea to promote our O'Chic Luxury Cases store here and show the people our unique, handmade, luxury and great quality phone cases.

I'm so excited they have groups supports like this because I am really lost but so thankful that I dowload the app and find out all these amazing group of people.

Thank you!
