My baby is 7 months old today.
Made it to the front page of Etsy. Weeeee…
I was wondering why Google Analytics was telling me that my shop views went 85%, along with my Paper Lady blog views up 4,900% (ha), and my Paper Mama blog’s view were up 10,600%. HA! Thought that was a little crazy. Anywho, it may have something to do with the front page. Yay! It’s always a VERY lovely thing to get one of your items on Etsy’s front page. It brings a lot of potential buyers to your shop.

And, I must say THANK YOU to That Something for including my paper crown. I had featured one of her cute prints in a past post about feet. Please give her shop a visit!

Giveaway time! Win a set of personalized note cards! Ends 7/28
Pear Tree Greetings was nice enough to give away a set (up to 16 cards with free shipping) of personalized note cards to one of my lucky readers! Yay!
Have you ever received a hand-written note from someone that you saved, because it meant so much to you? That you pull out every now and again, because it brings a smile to your face. Or, is there someone you feel that could really use a note from you right now?
A friend that’s going through a rough time in a relationship, letting her know you’re there for her. Your mom, just an out of the blue card telling her how much she means to you. Your husband, thanking him for supporting you, loving you, and being the husband that he is.
A blogger friend that you’ve maybe never met in person but just want to tell them how much their friendship means to you. There is a special power of a hand-written, personalized note card. Not only does it mean so much to the recipient, it’s an amazing feeling when you drop that card in the mail.
I was sent a sample of these cards and they ARE very cute. They are such nice quality. I’m very happy with them. Please click here to check out all the different varieties for yourself. I think I need some more for writing little notes to customers from my Paper Lady shop. or my Paper Mama shop. I could put my business name on them!
How do you win? Please follow these steps… AND make sure I have a way to contact you through e-mail. If I don’t… I’ll have to delete the entry… 🙁
