Mike I am having a shipping problem  that doesn't make sense to me.  Twice now when I go to review a shipping label it won't let me, the first time it says no carrier for priority express available. I had to cancel order and asked her to go with just priority shipping. This time it said information missing yet everything was filled out like all 6 of my other sales were  HELP! I finally just shipped it myself but I lost a lot of money on shipping.    https://www.etsy.com/shop/Woodtreasuresbybreck?ref=seller-platform     Breck

My name is Catherine Michelle Rothschild and I'm an artist and photographer based in Chigwell, United Kingdom.

Growing up, my dream was always to become a professional artist, but I've struggled to discover on where to take my creative potential.

I've gone from wanting to be a cartoon illustrator, to a book author, a watercolour painter and digital photographer and picture editor. I was born in Auckland, New Zealand but was raised in England throughout the majority of my life so I've felt disconnected from a huge part of my identity.

Despite growing up in England I've had episodes of feeling out of place.It wouldn't be until my second year in University, after I had created what I would later call my Magnum Opus (Further Than Space), would I finally decide to bite the bullet and seriously put my dream of opening an Arts and Craft store into practice.

So I finally opened my Etsy shop and eagerly got to work with uploading my artwork onto the shop.

@Former_Member Personally, I don't use Etsy Shipping because it has too many of these kinds of issues.  And, I live really close to two post offices.  It sounds like there's a glitch.  Unfortunately, you'll have to contact Etsy to correct it at: https://help.etsy.com/hc/en-us/articles/115015521948-What-s-the-Status-of-My-Order-?segment=shopping

@SylvesterGallery From what I see, it sounds like people aren't visiting your shop; which is a marketing problem.  What do you do to let people know about your shop on eBay; on Etsy?

I apologize for not getting back sooner.....my daughter told me to draw old house from New Orleans.  I drew about 5 or 6 and then she told me they were great but not finished? I asked what did she mean?  She said add cats outside the houses.   HA  That helped sell several off my Etsy and Ebay Accounts.  I would never have guessed.

Hello Art group. I am Lekiaite and I am working very hard and I love making clothing designs. I am working on building my brand. I see my designs being very successful. So far I have 65 designs and that number will continue to grow. This is the start of my creative ideas becoming a great way for me to become the creator of my own destiny. I want people to see how great I am at creating clothing designs they want to wear and tell their friends and loved ones about. Some people like to try new things to that's why I make designs that stand out. I have not sold anything yet but I'm working hard and I know they will come. enjoy your day.

 Zuallererst möchte ich mich bei Euch für die Einladung bedanken und dann gehts auch gleich los.
Ich war schon als Kind sehr aktive, kreative und voller Fantasie, meine Leidenschaft zu kreieren und mich selbst auszuprobieren ist bis heute grenzenlos. Ich bin viel gereist, habe mehr als 25 Jahre auf einer kleinen karibischen Insel gelebt und gearbeitet und bin doch nach Europa zurückgekehrt. Mein Herz und meine Seele sind in Schottland beheimatet, wo ich jedes Jahr mehrere Monate verbringe. Meine Liebe für die Natur, Mythen, Sagen und das Mittelalter sind grenzenlos und spiegeln sich in meinen Kreationen wider, egal ob in meinen Fantasy Romanen oder Dioramen.
Ich liebe es dem Alltag zu entfliehen und einzutauchen in einen grenzenlosen Ozean von Ideen, und neuen Möglichkeiten jenseits von Realitäten und eingeschränkten Weltbildern. Also lasst Euch von mir entführen in die Welt der Fantasy und wählt Euren ganz eigenen Tagestraum.

@Former_Member WELCOME TODD!  We're glad you're here.  And looking forward to seeing all your creations!

Hello! My name is Julie. I grew up in California and Oregon, and currently live in Portland OR. I have always loved thrifting for vintage and antique items, which is the focus of my Etsy shop. I so love going 'Treasure hunting' for special items looking for a new life. I am a property appraiser in my day job, which is a skill set that fits in nicely with researching my vintage and antique treasures. I appreciate the supportive community here, have a look at my shop!

Hello All! It's so nice meeting you. I'm Cansu from Istanbul; 33 years-old IT professional who's leading an RND team in a global IT company for the last 8,5 years. I've been graduated MSc International Marketing and Business Development in 2014. My mother Asiye Genc has been designing hand-crafted bridal head pieces since 2005 and she really does a great job since then. Her products have been presented in many global fairs such as Essen, Barcelona, etc and famous bridal magazines in Turkey besides many TV shows. As me and my sister are grown ups now and professionals on marketing / PR areas, we wanted to re-brand our own business and boost my mom's products in a more professional way (I'm not gifted as her in terms of designing hand-crafted pieces but marketing is my nickname). Etsy seems a great opportunity for us to exist in a digital sales channel and we're super happy to join this beautiful community. Hope to keep in touch with you all. Best regards

[MikeKrausArt]

@TreasuredGoodsPDX WELCOME JULIE!  We're glad you're here and hope you're enjoying your holidays.  You have a beautiful shop and a wonderful story.  Looking forward to learning more about you.

Hi everyone My First name is Eric,but I go by my middle name for my art. I was born in Cocoa, Florida and I have always loved comicbooks and cartoon shows. But I had to work at drawing, I mean I was ok but I definitely needed work and I would draw on and off over the years. Finally I have my art to where I'm happy to show someone. Never really thought about selling until my daughter kept telling me that I should definitely use etsy. So here I am, and honestly being excited is an understatment. My actual profession that I went to school for is Cardiovascular Ultrasound, but that was over 20yrs ago. So now I'm branching out. I am open to helpful advice for sure. When I say new I mean i'm like 2weeks new here. LOL. Check me out. Thanks guys
