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. These deals will be gone next month when Christmas in July starts so take advantage of them while you can.
Blog Sponsors and June 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."
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 June!
- Some of you may remember that last month I had sent in some new earring designs to Bead Trends magazine and was still waiting to hear back. They did accept one of them! It will be featured in October.
- This past month I got accepted into the HubPages Apprenticeship program. This was a much needed boost as I'm still fighting to build up views after my big dive traffic after Easter. I started this month. The program is 6 months long and among other things, will hopefully give me a lot of good tips for writing even better articles.
- I currently have five acceptances for fall shows. This year will be a continual effort to get ready for the holidays.
- I got it into my head that it would be fun to put together a summer and/or open house with some other local artists in the Milwaukee area. The initial response has been great.
- I'm starting to get ready for Christmas in July on Etsy. I've had a few ideas for it for quite a while now and now need to get them together during the next few weeks.
What's going on with your business and/or blog for June?

ReplyDeleteYou are so busy! There is a part of me that wants to say that you need to slow down for that thing I am praying about but I know that is so 'old-school' and we aren't that old! The program sounds interesting and hopefully you will see something big come out of it.
ReplyDeleteRight now, I am trying to regroup after losing my blog and basically trying to figure out where to go from here.
