November Top Droppers and December News

It's a new month, which means that it's time to thank my Top Droppers and Commenters once again and let you know what's going on with my shop next month.  Thanks to everyone who made November a great month for me!  I had a record number of Etsy sales and a landslide record number of shop views.  I have many of you to thank for that!

TOP DROPPERS
As a lot of you know, it's been a terrible month for Entrecard.  After the entire site had major problems for a couple weeks and was then completely down for over two days, everything came back up with no message whatsoever.  I understand that these things happen, but users should be notified and ideally, given something like free credits to make up for the lost time.  I seriously have no idea why I'm still there.  But for now, I am.

Thanks to everyone who fought through the frustration and still managed to stop by my blog on a regular basis this month, especially those of you who take the time to leave comments.  Here are the top 10 for November.
 
 

TOP COMMENTERS
If you missed this last month, I now have a Top Commenters widget on my blog.  If you're interested in seeing where you rank, scroll down and look on the right side of my page.  It's right under my blog roll.  I will feature an item or give a shout out to everyone on that list or who has commented regularly (even if not within the last week) in this monthly post.

Thanks to Grace of Dragon's Alley for stopping by and commenting regularly!  Here are some lovely items from the ladies on my list who have Etsy shops.

2) SILK SCARF, hand dyed, Leafy by SplendidLittleStars

SALE
My holiday sale in my Etsy shop is still going strong.  I have all Christmas items marked down 25% and lots of red and green items marked down 15%.  All sale prices stay good through Christmas.  Please note that I will have my shop closed December 2-4 while I'm at my big Christmas show so plan accordingly with your shopping.  Get free shipping on all jewelry orders with the code FREESHIP when you check out.

I've added a couple brand new Christmas designs this past month.

The second piece is part of my new wrap bracelet/necklace herringbone line.  The detachable charm is a clay Christmas tree from Lisa of LisaPetersArt.
