I'm a stay at home mom of two boys. They keep me really busy and so does my business. No dull moments my house! Here's what I've included in the giveaway:</div>

Not only is this one of my good friends, she is a very talented and creative jewelry maker! Here's what she has to say:</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
"I began making jewelry in a class on the eastside of Portland with my mom. I couldn't stop making it day and night. I began to grow fond of my late nights in the shop. Jewelry became very much so a labor of love.</div>
<br />
All pieces are handmade or hand assembled and are sterling silver or sterling silver plated. I am also happy to make your personal requests of any kind."<br />
<br />
Here is what she has so graciously placed in the giveaway:<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #45818e; font-size: x-large;"><strong>~ A Ring of your choice from her shop.</strong></span><br />

"I am a new mom that works full time and makes jewelry for a hobby! I started doing it shortly after my son was born to pass the time!

So, my 30th birthday is coming up in a couple of days and I decided I'd create a Treasury featuring a very SMALL number of things that I love on Etsy. I could look all day and fill many Treasuries. Until you really get into Etsy and browse, you just never know what you can find! Such a wide range of things and so many talented artists.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07048079835673132813noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6685443240653705985.post-74564297675838920312010-02-25T09:06:00.000-08:002010-02-25T09:06:58.344-08:00Rocking Italian Scooter Deluxe<b><span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;">Created by TheatronItalianArt</span></b> <br />

I really am quite pleased with the way they turned out. I think the colors are really nice and compliment each other well so they will coordinate with your kitchen/bath decor!<br />

I created a reusable sponge/dishcloth. One side is cotton and the other is a mixture of cotton and plarn (plastic yarn, made from plastic grocery bags! Earth-friendly? YES!!!) The plarn side is a little bit abrasive but not so much that it will scratch any surface. I have been using it like crazy and have washed it and dried it to see how well it will hold up. It's awesome! I'll be making a lot of them and placing them in my shop for sale. I'm really excited about this one, I know I really need to get a life ;~), but I am so tired of buying sponges and tossing them. This way, I can use them, wash them and reuse them! What's not to love about that? Save money and do my small part for the environment? Score and Score!<br />
<br />
I haven't taken any pictures yet but I will and post them here as well as on my Etsy site: http://www.crochele.etsy.com<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
Today I've been looking into new ideas for my business. I'm excited and hopeful that they will turn out to be great ideas!<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
First idea is to include Adult sized items in my Etsy Shop. I already carry items for the home and will be expanding that line as well. I think that I will close my CrocheleCouture Etsy shop. It's just too much to keep up two shops and really be able to focus on them both as much as is required. I just haven't put any time into it and find it's worked out fine having more than just baby items in my Crochele shop.<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Second I am going to be doing more wholesale orders. In searching through the Etsy Alchemy I found a request for shops that offer wholesale. I was contacted by the person that started that request and she was interested in several of my items. I'm doing research to find out how best to go about this. I've found that charging the standard 50% of the retail prices with a minimum order amount is most favored by wholesalers. I previously have carried items in a local children's boutique and they did pretty well. I didn't do wholesale pricing, I just did consignment. That seems like it works if you are local and can check out your own inventory as needed.<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Off I go to do some more research! Wish Me Luck :~) Hopefully I won't need it.<br /></div>

They contain some very helpful links to applications that may help you build your business or just do cool things! They range from page stats to help with designing your banner and avatar. You may have seen or used them before but a reminder is always nice! Here they are. (You will see some repeats but each page contains some unique links.)Please feel free to add a comment if you know of another great site or app. Thanks!</span></span><br /></span><br />

Each Christmas Eve we (the family) meet at Grandma and Grandpas to be together, eat tamales (yummm) and exchange presents. Two years ago I was just released from the hospital after having my second son on the 22nd. I'd been in the hospital for over a week at that point so I was ready to be HOME. Not to mention almost everyone at Grandma and Grandpas had the stomach flu...not just upset tummy's, I'm talking full on stomach flu! Here I am tired with a newborn child and I have to bring him to meet the family for the first time with sickness just waiting to be passed on to my son. Well, there really was no need to stress about it because everyone was too sick to really care too much about a baby and he slept the ENTIRE time in his carseat in a corner :~). All in all it was a great day!<br />
<br />
Last year was the worst ice storm we have seen in a very very long time! I mean 3 inches of ice on EVERYTHING, EVERYWHERE! My son (yeah the one born the year prior) had to celebrate his 1st Birthday at home with just his dad, brother and myself. My hubby managed to make it to the store to buy whatever kind of cake he could find (carrot cake it turned out) and I just happened to have bought a couple of toys that were supposed to be Christmas presents. Again, I stressed about it and it turned out to be perfect! He loved his cake and toys. Luckily the majority of the ice melted and we were able to make it to Grandma and Grandpas for our yearly tradition!<br />
<br />
So, here we are! So far, everything has gone rather smoothly. We made the decision to celebrate our little guys' birthday early so he got a party for the first time. I was able to buy most of the presents I needed for Christmas and we are in for a dry evening/morning. Over the last few weeks I have received A LOT of orders and a lot were special requests for Christmas pictures or Christmas presents. I can't even begin to explain how much I love to be a part of that. Whether things go well or not this year, I am thankful for my family (all of them!) and am LUCKY to be able to be with them on such a special day. I'll be thinking of my mother and grandmother who are in another state and I'll be thinking of the family I lost too soon. <br />
<br />
I wish everyone a VERY Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. <br />
