Featured, New Items and Done with Finals

I'm almost done with finals and I'm going home tomorrow. I got featured in this blog. Check it out. I was really excited she decided to feature me. :) She wrote a nice little write up about my shop.

I went through all my photos and wrote all the items I still needed to list. I don't know if I should keep listing a lot or try to save them for later (when I won't have as many new items to list). I might try to list a couple new items every week. I got these new items up:

Book Lover's Script Greeting Card



I actually have this in a shop, but I can easily get it if someone buys it. I made a bunch of book lover's cards and one of them sold so I decided to list another one.

Baby Clothes Greeting Card



This is another baby greeting card. I love the baby clothes decorative paper.

Set of 3 Friendship Tags



I decided to make some tags. I didn't know if I would list them when I made them, but I decided to just go ahead and put them up. It has a quote about friendship on it. I thought it'd be good to put up since it's the gift giving season.

I was looking through Etsy's official gift guides and noticed they had some similar items I had in mine. Does anybody know if the Tech Geek guide was put up recently or if it's just been up for a while and I didn't notice it? The reason I ask is because I remember reading a post from someone (maybe last year) that Etsy used similar items she put in her blog's gift guide on the official guide right after she put her gift guide up and she thought they might have been using her ideas. I think that might have happened to me because I noticed they had a couple of the same items I posted and similar sections that I had. It's not a really a big deal (it's nice to think someone got inspired by my gift guide), but I remember looking at the gift guides before I made mine to make sure I used different items than Etsy had. Has this happened to anyone else?

Either way though, the gift guide seemed to be a success. A lot of people who were featured said they tweeted or wrote on their Facebook about my blog. It'll help get exposure to my blog and the shops that were featured. :) I usually do a Christmas wishlist, but they'd be basically the same as the items I already posted. What's on your Christmas list this year?
