TOP COMMENTERS:
If you're new to this blog, you can check out my Top Commenters widget
on the right side of my blog. I did some blog rearranging this month, but it's still in more or less the same place. Just scroll down to see where you
rank. It's right under my blog roll. I will feature an item or
give a shout out to everyone on that list in this monthly post. I
really appreciate those of you who take the time to leave me
feedback!

Sale Items:
I still have a handful of items in my sale section
that are 2 years older and more. I would really like to clear them out
so I have more room for my brand new items. If you're looking for a
good deal on a gift or a little indulgence for yourself, check it out. There is still time to buy for Mother's Day!
Blog Sponsors and May Advertising:
I have an awesome round up of blog sponsors! These lovely ladies all have Etsy shops and/or blogs. Check them out on the left hand side of my blog under "Private Sponsors."

I have to give a shout out to my newest blog sponsor who just joined up last week.
Angela is really friendly, and her shop is a perfect fit for my blog. She offers a variety of jewelry, accessories, and home decor, much of which features buttons. Go check her out.
Would you like to join them? It's only $3 per month or $10 for 4 months to advertise with me. Check out all of the details about it right here

Bring It On May!
- I'm getting ready for my next show, which is this coming weekend. I'll post more about that later this week. If you live in the Milwaukee area and are interested in attending, send me a message.
- Last month I did get some earrings submitted for Bead Trends, but I haven't heard anything back, so I may have some new pairs to list shortly. We'll see.
- I had a huge drop in views on HubPages after Easter. April is the first month I've been with the site that I haven't made more money than I did the previous month. I'm not going to lie: that's been really tough. I'm still trying to build traffic again and will be putting a lot of my writing efforts there in May. It means a lot to me that those of you who know me from Etsy or elsewhere and aren't connected with the site still read all my articles. Thank you!
- I've applied for all of the 2012 holiday craft shows that I want to for now and have started to get acceptances. This means that I'm already thinking about holiday craft fair products.
What's going on with your business and or/blog for May?

oh, Rose, nothing is going on with my shop this month.. I can't wrap my head around anything other than moving/packing related.. and there is so much happening in the girls schools this month, it has been hard to focus on anything else.. I hope I can get my shops groove back shortly after the move! :(
ReplyDeleteGood luck at the show, can't wait to hear about it!
Happy May! Lovely April wrap-up. I haven't seen the top commenters widget before, how neat!! :D
ReplyDeleteRose, I like the new design, it's looking good. Good luck on your shows. I've applied to 1 in June and hope I hear back soon. The other 2 Fall shows I'll apply to when I get the apps.

ReplyDeleteI don't know what it is, that others (and myself) have been stepping away from the computer more than usual. Maybe it's the weather. Looks like loads of cats dropping entrecards! Thanks for including me in your top commenters! {:-D
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your upcoming show! I'm sorry about the drop in views on HubPages...that's hard to figure out. Your articles are always interesting. Maybe people are just spending time outside in the sunshine!
