Grandchildren are wonderful!

Today is my first granddaughter's 8th birthday. She is half the nation away from me and I miss her so much. In January, I'll board a plane to go see her, but even though I always spend 2 or 3 weeks there, I don't get to see her very much when I go. School, you know. She's a beautiful little girl and has enriched my life in so many ways. She was the flower girl at my wedding. And at her aunt's wedding, that took place a month before mine. She loved those flower petals! When Auntie Key (her nickname for her)got married, I was gifted with three more grandchildren to add to her brother and cousin. finally, Auntie Key joined her sibs and became a mother. I now have 7 grandchildren, three of them adults. Birthday Girl's favorite people are her brother, who worships her, and her cousin, born the same year a few months just before she was born, whom she worships. She sells Girl Scout cookies and refuses to take direction in dance class: she does, after all, already know how to dance! She loves to read and to take photographs. Her Auntie got her a hamster for her birthday. I sent magnet blocks and jewelry. I love you my beautiful Caitlyn!

Countdown to Christmas!

Whether you sell on Artfire, Etsy, Zibbet or have your own stand alone website, we want to see your gift ideas! There will be a new collection started every Saturday morning from now until maybe the second weekend in December.

Invite your friends!!

Please limit the items you post to those in the spirit of Etsy, Artfire and Zibbet, and please keep it G-Rated. There is a 3 item limit for each shop or studio. Multiple shops may post three for each. The ability to post will stay open from Friday until sometime Monday morning, which should provide a lot of time to add items.

There is ONE RULE - You must promote the collection as soon as the posting closes. If you have a blog, please hop this blog, and promote each item to one social network, preferably Pinterest or Wanelo where we can see the item. Twitter and Facebook are fine, they just do not show the item.

This collection will provide a lot of backlinks to your products and get your higher in searches on the search engines.

Midweek, I am doing a blog post that corresponds with the 12 Days of Christmas and going shopping in your studios. These extra posts are for further promotion if you wish to participate. I will be snooping around your shops and picking items that fit our weekly post. When I feature you in this additional post, I will send you a little email notice.

Happy holidays!

Julie and Blu
