Christmas Items

Christmas is coming up! Here are some Christmas themed items in my shop.

Glitter Christmas Tree Holiday Greeting Card



Wavy Glitter Christmas Tree Greeting Card



Wavy Iridescent Green Christmas Greeting Card



Rounded Winter Cardinals Greeting Card



Holiday Reindeer Greeting Card



I redid photos for almost all items in my winter holiday section on my shop. Do you celebrate Christmas?

Items on EBay

One way I like to make some extra cash is on EBay. I think it's a good way to get rid of old items and also find good deals. I put a bunch of items up last week and made some money. Here are some items I sold:

Apple Macbook Pro Unibody A1278 Trackpad Touchpad - New



Views From Our Shoes Book



Art History by Michael W. Cothren and Marilyn Stokstad



New OPI Nail Polish in Houston We Have a Purple



I find that books sell better on EBay than Half.com and beauty products usually sell pretty well. I also decided to list some of my Etsy items. Hopefully some of my items will sell. I just put my winter holiday items up for now to see if any will sell. You can see my listings here. Do you use EBay?

Worldwide Moment

There's a photography project I participate in called Worldwide Moment. It was started in 2007 and happens once a year. Basically, people from all around the world take a photograph at the same time and then upload it to the Worldwide Moment website. The idea is to have a moment of peace together and connect to an international community. It's really fun to see everyone's photos and how everyone was at a different place at the same time.

The Worldwide Moment is happening tomorrow this year (Friday, November 11 at 11:11AM New York time). I think everyone who reads this should participate in it. All you have to do is take a photo at that time and upload it to the website. Let me know in the comments if you're going to take a photo! By the way, my first Worldwide Moment photo is in their logo above (it's the orange photo with food on it).

EtsyGreetings Team

I joined a new team called EtsyGreetings. I'm hoping it will help me promote my greeting cards and connect to other card makers. Here are some greeting cards in my shop:

Black and White Flower Greeting Card



Rounded Octopus Greeting Card



Little Red Riding Hood Get Well Card



Wavy Black and White Hieroglyphics Greeting Card



You can see more greeting cards here. I want to feature one of my cards on the EtsyGreetings blog so let me know which card you like my shop the best.

Heart Hop

My Blue and Gold Marbled Journal was featured in this blog entry that did a heart hop. I thought the heart hop was a good idea so here's my version of the it:













- PolkaDotPendant (Heart Brooch Pin Pendant Recycled Denim) who hearts . . .

- MariMartin (Apple Coasters who hearts . . .

- Ohmafelt (Felt Evergreen Trees) who hearts . . .

- ThePetiteChouette (My Deer Love Minidress) who hearts . . .

- AlytheRed (Fingerless Fox Gloves) who hearts . . .

- CabinNo7 (Ukulele Ring) who hearts . . .

- SunshineButterCup (Six Adorable Vintage Turquoise Glass Seashells)

Let me know if you like these heart hops so I know if I should do it again. It's a fun way to find new items.
